Primary Endpoint
To evaluate the effect of ACC-001 in combination with an adjuvant immunostimulatory agent (QS-21), administered intramuscularly compared to placebo on cerebral amyloid burden in subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

A Phase II clinical research study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different dose levels of an injectable investigational treatment (ACC-001) in subjects with Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer's disease. ACC-001 (vanutide cridificar) is a beta amyloid fragment attached to a carrier protein. It is intended to help induce an antibody response against beta amyloid and is administered as an intramuscular injection.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

  • Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in measurements of immunogenicity.(24 Months)
  • Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in disease biomarkers.(24 Months)
  • Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in cognitive and functional scales.(24 Months)
  • Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in health outcome measures.(24 Months)
