Conditions
Alzheimer's Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02580305
Lead Sponsor
Suven Life Sciences Limited
Brief Summary

This is a phase 2a, proof-of-concept, 26-week, double-blind, multicenter, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled study to compare the efficacy and safety of treatment with SUVN-502 to placebo treatment in subjects with moderate Alzheimer's disease receiving stable doses of donepezil HCl and memantine HCl.

Detailed Description

This is a phase 2a, proof-of-concept, 26-week, double-blind, multicenter, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled study to compare the efficacy and safety of treatment with SUVN-502 to placebo treatment in subjects with moderate Alzheimer's disease receiving donepezil HCl (10 mg qd) and either memantine HCl (10 mg twice daily \[bid\]) or Namenda XR® (Extended Release, 28 mg qd) or the combination therapy, Namzaric™

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a serotonin receptor subtype 6 (5-HT6) antagonist, SUVN-502, compared to placebo, as adjunct treatment in subjects with moderate Alzheimer's disease (Mini-Mental State Examination \[MMSE\] score of 12 to 20) currently treated with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, donepezil hydrochloride (HCl), and the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) antagonist, memantine HCl. Efficacy will be assessed by the 11-item Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale for Cognitive Behavior (ADAScog-11) after 26 weeks of treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Week-26 in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 11 (ADAS-Cog 11)Baseline to Week 26

Mean change from baseline at week 26 is assessed for ADAS-Cog11 score. The ADAS-Cog11 is a structured scale that evaluates memory, orientation, attention, reasoning, language, and constructional praxis. ADAS-Cog11 measures cognition by assessing 11 metrics impaired in AD: word recall; commands; constructional praxis; naming objects and fingers; ideational praxis; orientation; word recognition; remembering test instructions; spoken language ability; word-finding difficulty; and comprehension of spoken language. The scale ranges from 0 to 70, with higher scores indicate greater impairment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Week-26 in Change in Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)Baseline to Week 26

Change in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) - Total Score Minimum Score - 0, Maximum Score - 30. Higher score means better outcome.

Change From Baseline to Week-26 in Clinical Dementia Rating Scale - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)Baseline to Week 26

Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) - Sum of Boxes CDR-SB is a semi-structured interview of participants and their caregivers. Participant's cognitive status is rated across 6 domains of functioning, including memory, orientation, judgment/problem solving, community affairs, home/hobbies, and personal care.

Severity score assigned for each of 6 domains; total score (SB) ranges from 0 to 18. Higher scores indicate greater disease severity.

Change From Baseline to Week-26 in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Group-Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL)Baseline to Week 26

The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) Inventory Score is a 23-item inventory.

The ADCS-ADL measures both basic and instrumental activities of daily living The total ADCS-ADL score ranges from 0 to 78, with lower scores indicating greater disease severity.

Change From Baseline to Week-26 in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI)Baseline to Week 26

Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) 12 item - Total Score NPI assesses psychopathology in participants with dementia and other neurologic disorders.

Total score ranges from 12 to 144; higher scores indicate greater disease severity.
