DAOIB for the Treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
NMDA neurotransmission plays an important role in learning and memory. NMDA receptor-enhancing agent improved the cognitive function of patients with early-phase Alzheimer's disease. This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled drug trial. All subjects will be allocated randomly to 2 groups: (1) DAOIB group; (2) placebo group. The study period is 24 weeks. The investigators hypothesize that DAOIB may yield better efficacy than placebo for cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment.

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 consists of 11 tasks. Its scores range from 0 (best) to 70 (worst).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- 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]
Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change plus Caregiver Input score is a global assessment of change based on a comprehensive, semi-structured interview which includes caregiver-supplied information. It is a 7-point rating scale ranging from 1-7, where 1 represents markedly improved; 4, no change; and 7, markedly worse.
- 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]
ADCS-MCI-ADL appears to be a suitable instrument for evaluating activities of daily living in mild cognitive impairment. Its scores range from 0 (worst) to 78 (best).
- Change from baseline in Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form-36 (SF-36) score at week 8, 16 and 24 [week 0, 8, 16, 24]
The SF-36 consists of eight sections which assess the quality of life.
- Change from baseline in the composite score of a battery of additional cognitive tests at week 8, 16 and 24 [week 0, 24]
The battery of additional cognitive tests include speed of processing (Category Fluency), working memory (verbal and nonverbal, Wechsler Memory Scale), learning and memory tests (verbal and visual, Wechsler Memory Scale)
