Study Evaluating Intepirdine (RVT-101) in Subjects With Dementia With Lewy Bodies: The HEADWAY-DLB Study

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Dementia With Lewy Bodies
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Drug: RVT-101 70 mg
Drug: RVT-101 35 mg
Registration Number
NCT02669433
Lead Sponsor
Axovant Sciences Ltd.
Brief Summary

This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intepirdine (RVT-101) in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.

Detailed Description

The efficacy and safety of RVT-101 at doses of 70 mg and 35 mg daily will be evaluated over a 24-week double-blind treatment period in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.

The randomization ratio will be 1:1:1 (70 mg RVT-101: 35 mg RVT-101: placebo).

Subjects completing this study will be eligible to enroll in an extension study of RVT-101 (Study RVT-101-2002).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-Part III (UPDRS-III) Change From Baseline at Week 24Change from Baseline at 24 weeks

The primary endpoint was to assess the effects of intepirdine versus placebo on the UPDRS Part III after 24 weeks of treatment. UPDRS Part III scores range from 0 to 108, with higher scores indicating worse outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change Plus Caregiver Input (CIBIC+) Change From Baseline at Week 24Change from Baseline at 24 weeks

To assess the effects of RVT-101 versus placebo on global function as measured by the Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change Plus Caregiver Input (CIBIC+) after 24 weeks of treatment. CIBIC+ is recorded on a 7-point scale with a score of 4 indicating no change, scores above 4 indicating worsening, and scores below 4 indicating improvement.

Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale 11 Items (ADAS-Cog-11) Change From Baseline at Week 24Change from Baseline at 24 weeks

The 11-item ADAS-Cog assesses a range of cognitive abilities including memory, comprehension, orientation in time and place, and spontaneous speech. The ADAS-Cog-11 total score range is from 0 to 70, with a higher score indicating more severe cognitive impairment.
