Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-related safety and efficacy of multiple oral dosages of ELND005 as treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

ELND005 (formerly known as AZD-103), scyllo-inositol, is being investigated as an orally administered treatment for AD. ELND005 may prevent or inhibit the build up of amyloid protein in the brains of AD patients.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, safety and efficacy study of oral ELND005 in male and female participants aged 50-85 years with mild to moderate AD. Approximately 340 patients will be enrolled into the study at approximately 65 study sites. Patients will be randomized to receive either ELND005 or placebo. Each patient's participation will last approximately 18 months.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB) Z-score (Full Analysis Set; FAS) [Baseline and 78 weeks]

      The NTB assessment is comprised of 9 instruments that measure cognition and executive function. Three of these tests measure immediate memory, next three measure delayed memory, and remaining three assess executive function. The total score is a weighted mean of the nine tests, referred to as the Z-score. Typically, scores range from -3 and 3, with lower scores suggesting greater cognitive impairment.

    2. Additional Analysis of Primary Outcome Measure: Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB) Z-score (Per Protocol Set; PPS) [Baseline and 78 weeks]

      The NTB assessment is comprised of 9 instruments that measure cognition and executive function. Three of these tests measure immediate memory, next three measure delayed memory, and remaining three assess executive function. The total score is a weighted mean of the nine tests, referred to as the Z-score. Typically, scores range from -3 and 3, with lower scores suggesting greater cognitive impairment.

    3. Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) Score (Full Analysis Set; FAS) [Baseline and 78 weeks]

      The ADCS-ADL is a 23-item scale that measures a subject's functional abilities as assessed by the subject's caregiver. This scale ranges from 0 to 78, with lower scores suggesting greater functional impairment.

    4. Additional Analysis of Primary Outcome Measure: Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) Score (Per Protocol Set; PPS) [Baseline and 78 weeks]

      The ADCS-ADL is a 23-item scale that measures a subject's functional abilities as assessed by the subject's caregiver. This scale ranges from 0 to 78, with lower scores suggesting greater functional impairment.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) Score From Baseline to Week 78 (Full Analysis Set; FAS) [Baseline and 78 weeks]

      The ADAS-Cog primarily measures cognitive ability. The version used in this study was comprised of 12 items with scores ranging from 0 to 75. Higher scores suggest greater cognitive impairment.

    2. Change in Clinical Dementia Rating - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) Score From Baseline to Week 78 (Full Analysis Set; FAS) [Baseline and 78 weeks]

      The CDR-SB consists of 6 items; 3 measuring cognitive ability and 3 measuring functional ability. The score for each of the six items range from 0 to 3; hence the total score is between 0 and 18. Higher scores suggest greater cognitive impairment.

    3. Change in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) Score From Baseline to Week 78 (Full Analysis Set; FAS) [Baseline and 78 weeks]

      The NPI is used to obtain information on the presence of severity of neuropsychological symptoms, and was specifically designed for use in Alzheimer's disease subjects. The scale consists of 12 items with each item having outcomes from 0 to 12; hence the total score ranges from 0 to 144. Higher scores suggest greater psychiatric impairment.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Reported adverse events include events starting at or after Screening to Week 84
    Adverse Event Reporting Description For all adverse event (AE) summaries, if a patient had more than one AE within a preferred term the patient was counted only once, at the maximum severity and with the closest relationship to study drug. If a patient had more than one AE within a system organ class (SOC), the patient was similarly counted once when reporting results for that SOC.

    Limitations/Caveats

    The two high dose groups of ELND005 were discontinued before study end, so the efficacy analysis was based only on placebo and ELND005 250 mg bid groups.
