Efficacy Biomarkers of DAOIB for Dementia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This open-label clinical trial will enroll patients with aMCI or mild AD, and they will be treated with DAOIB for 24 weeks. We will assess the patients before entering the study, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and end point (24 weeks) of the study, and measure blood NMDA and oxidative stress - related biomarkers every 8 weeks. We hypothesize that NMDA and oxidative stress - related biomarkers can predict the efficacy of DAOIB for patients with aMCI or mild AD.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline in the Alzheimer's disease assessment scale - cognitive subscale at week 8, 16 and 24 [week 0, 8, 16, 24]
Alzheimer's disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale scores range from 0 (best) to 70 (worst)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline in the composite score of a battery of additional cognitive tests at week 24 [week 0, 24]
The battery of additional cognitive tests include speed of processing (Category Fluency), working memory (Wechsler Memory Scale, Spatial Span), verbal/nonverbal learning and memory tests (Wechsler Memory Scale, Word Listing)
- Change from baseline in Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change plus Caregiver Input score at week 8, 16 and 24 [week 8, 16, 24]
Change from baseline in Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change plus Caregiver Input score at week 8, 16 and 24
- Change from baseline in Alzheimer's disease Cooperative Study scale for ADL in MCI (ADCS-MCI-ADL) score at week 8, 16 and 24 [week 0, 8, 16, 24]
The assessment appears to be a suitable instrument for evaluating activities of daily living in early-phase dementia. Its scores range from 0 (worst) to 78 (best)
- Change from baseline of Geriatric Depression Scale [week 0, 8, 16, 24]
Assessment of geriatric depressive symptoms
- Change from baseline in Mini-Mental Status examination score at week 8, 16 and 24 [week 0, 8, 16, 24]
Change from baseline in Mini-Mental Status examination score at week 8, 16 and 24
