Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 2b, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, multiple dose study of PTI-125 in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease patients. A total of sixty (60) patients will be enrolled in the study. Patients will receive Placebo, 50 mg or 100 mg b.i.d. of PTI-125. The objective of this study are to investigate the safety, and biomarkers of PTI-125 following 28-day repeat oral administration.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change From Baseline in CSF Abeta42 [Screening to Day 28]
Change from Baseline (screening sample) to Day 28 in cerebrospinal fluid levels of Amyloid beta42
- Change From Baseline in CSF Total Tau. [Screening to Day 28]
Change from Baseline (screening sample) to Day 28 in cerebrospinal fluid total tau.
- Change From Baseline in CSF P-tau181 [Screening to Day 28]
Change from Baseline (screening) to Day 28 in cerebrospinal fluid P-tau181
- Change From Baseline in CSF Neurogranin [Screening to Day 28]
Change from Baseline (screening) to Day 28 in cerebrospinal fluid neurogranin
- Change From Baseline in CSF Neurofilament Light Chain [Screening to Day 28]
Change from Baseline (screening) to Day 28 in cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light chain
- Change From Baseline in CSF YKL-40 [Screening to Day 28]
Change from Baseline (screening) in cerebrospinal fluid YKL-40
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Paired Associates Learning Test [Day 1 to Day 28]
Cognitive test assessing episodic memory. Boxes are displayed on the screen and are "opened" in a randomized order. One or more of them contains a pattern. The patterns are then displayed in the middle of the screen, one at a time and the participant must select the box in which the pattern was originally located. If the participant makes an error, the boxes are opened in sequence again to remind the participant of the locations of the patterns. The number of boxes increases progressively to a total of 8.
- Spatial Working Memory Test [Day 1 to Day 28]
Cognitive assessment of spatial working memory: A number of colored squares (boxes) are shown on the screen. By selecting the boxes and using a process of elimination, the subject should find one yellow 'token' in each of a number of boxes and use them to fill up an empty column on the right-hand side of the screen. The number of boxes is gradually increased to a total of 8 for the subjects to search. The colors and positions of the boxes are changed from trial to trial to discourage stereotyped search strategies.
- CSF IL-6, sTREM2, HMGB1, Albumin, IgG [Screening to Day 28]
Change from Baseline (screening sample) to Day 28 in secondary CSF biomarkers of neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier integrity
Other Outcome Measures
- Target Engagement Assays: Change From Baseline in Filamin A (FLNA) Linkages to alpha7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (alpha7nAChR) and Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) in Subject Lymphocytes [Day 1 to Day 28]
FLNA linkages to these two receptors were assessed by densitometric quantitation of immunoblot bands of each receptor (detected by a specific antibody) in anti-FLNA precipitates. The measure is noted as a ratio to total FLNA.
- Plasma P-tau181 [Day 1 to Day 28]
Percent change in plasma P-tau181
- Percent Change From Baseline in SavaDx, a Novel Plasma Biomarker [Day 1 to Day 28]
SavaDx is a novel plasma biomarker

Title | Paired Associates Learning Test |
---|---|
Description | Cognitive test assessing episodic memory. Boxes are displayed on the screen and are "opened" in a randomized order. One or more of them contains a pattern. The patterns are then displayed in the middle of the screen, one at a time and the participant must select the box in which the pattern was originally located. If the participant makes an error, the boxes are opened in sequence again to remind the participant of the locations of the patterns. The number of boxes increases progressively to a total of 8. |
Time Frame | Day 1 to Day 28 |

Description | Cognitive assessment of spatial working memory: A number of colored squares (boxes) are shown on the screen. By selecting the boxes and using a process of elimination, the subject should find one yellow 'token' in each of a number of boxes and use them to fill up an empty column on the right-hand side of the screen. The number of boxes is gradually increased to a total of 8 for the subjects to search. The colors and positions of the boxes are changed from trial to trial to discourage stereotyped search strategies. |

Analysis Population Description |
---|
For plasma p-tau181 only: 4 subjects (1 in placebo, 2 in 50 mg and 1 in 100 mg arms) were removed because Coefficients of Variation (CVs) between duplicate measurements for either Day 1 or Day 28 samples were >15% on repeat assay (both Day 1 & Day 28 for a subject were repeated if CVs of either Day 1 or Day 28 were >11%). Two outliers were removed (1 in placebo [1.2 to 4.8 pg/ml] and 1 in 100 mg [2.1 to 5.1 pg/ml] arms) for increases >150% & > 2.5 pg/mL. Missing Day 1 blood samples: 2 in 50 mg. |

Outcome Measure Data
Analysis Population Description |
---|
One subject in the 50 mg arm and two subjects in the 100 mg arm were omitted because these subjects showed no detectable plasma simufilam at any return visit. Two additional subjects in the 50 mg group were missing baseline plasma samples. |
