The global phase-3 study POLARIS-AD for the oral Alzheimer drug AR1001 has concluded. On July 27, 2026, the last patient visit was documented. Now, the critical phase of statistical evaluation begins.
1,535 Patients Investigated Across 13 Countries
The biopharmaceutical company AriBio has completed data collection at around 230 sites in the USA, Europe, Korea, and China. Of the 1,535 participants, 1,348 completed the planned 52-week dosing phase.
CEO Jung Jae-jun emphasizes that the focus is now on locking the database and subsequent statistical analysis, with data integrity being the top priority.
Participant willingness for further treatment is high: about 95.5% of eligible participants—over 1,250 individuals—have opted for an open-extension study expected to conclude in July 2027.
When Will the Results Come?

Topline results with initial key insights on efficacy and safety are expected later this year. The detailed presentation is planned for the “Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease” (CTAD) conference, starting on November 16, 2026, in Boston.
Before that, the datasets must be comprehensively validated and cleaned. Statistical analyses can only commence after the final database lock—they are the foundation for subsequent approval processes.
New Alliances and Improved Diagnostics
In addition to clinical advances, AriBio is expanding its research. On July 27, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with ForeverNK to co-develop immuno-neural convergence therapies—a combination of central nervous system drugs and NK cell therapies.

Moreover, there is movement in diagnostics. The World Health Organization released new early detection guidelines in July 2026. Researchers from Ruhr University Bochum demonstrate in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine that misfolding of the amyloid-beta protein in the blood is a strong indicator of later disease. AI-based methods can detect Alzheimer’s with 92% accuracy up to seven years before symptom onset.
Parallel to this, the ongoing phase-3 study “PrevenTRON” with 1,600 symptom-free participants is investigating further medicinal approaches. Experts also see indications that drug classes such as SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1 agonists may lower Alzheimer’s risk.
