简要总结

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of plasma exchange with 5% albumin in beta-amyloid peptide clearance in cerebrospinal fluid, and its effects in patients with mild-moderate Alzheimer's disease.

详细描述

A phase II study was conducted primarily to determine whether plasma exchange with 5% human albumin is able to modify the concentration of beta-amyloid peptide in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with AD.

  • There was two weeks for screening and randomization of both groups (treatment and control).
  • The subjects were randomized in a 1:1 proportion.

After screening and randomization, treatment proceeded as follows:

  • three weeks of intensive treatment with two plasma exchanges per week
  • followed by a month and a half of maintenance treatment with one weekly plasma exchange, and
  • finally, three months of treatment with one plasma exchange every two weeks.

The control group followed the same program, except for the plasma exchanges. After the treatment period ended, subjects followed-up for a 6-month period of time.

  • Plasma creatinine > 2 mg/dL.
  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure.
  • Liver cirrhosis or any liver problem with alanine aminotransferase (GPT) > 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), or bilirubin > 2 mg/dL.
  • Heart diseases, including antecedents of coronary disease and heart failure.
  • Difficult venous access precluding plasma exchange.

  • Pregnant or nursing women or women not using effective contraceptive methods for at least one month after plasma exchange.
  • Fewer than six years of education.

结局指标

主要结局

Change From Baseline in Aβ1-42 Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Levels.

时间窗: Baseline and up to week 44

Change in levels of Aβ1-42 in CSF in the period between baseline lumbar puncture (before the start of treatment) and lumbar puncture immediately after the end of the last plasma exchange (whenever this may be). Separate assays of Aβ1-42 were performed with Innotest and The Genetics Company commercial kits.

  • Aβ1-40 Plasma Levels Before and After Each Study Period (The Genetics Company).(Baseline, pre-plasma exchange 1 (PRE-PE1), post-plasma exchange 6 (POST-PE6), pre-plasma exchange 7 (PRE-PE7), post-plasma exchange 12 (POST-PE12), pre-plasma exchange 13 (PRE-PE13), post-plasma exchange 18 (POST-PE18), week 33 and week 44.)
  • Aβ1-42 Plasma Levels Before and After Each Study Period (The Genetics Company).(Baseline, pre-plasma exchange 1 (PRE-PE1), post-plasma exchange 6 (POST-PE6), pre-plasma exchange 7 (PRE-PE7), post-plasma exchange 12 (POST-PE12), pre-plasma exchange 13 (PRE-PE13), post-plasma exchange 18 (POST-PE18), week 33 and week 44)
  • Aβ1-42 Plasma Levels Before and After Each Study Period (Innotest).(Baseline, pre-plasma exchange 1 (PRE-PE1), post-plasma exchange 6 (POST-PE6), pre-plasma exchange 7 (PRE-PE7), post-plasma exchange 12 (POST-PE12), pre-plasma exchange 13 (PRE-PE13), post-plasma exchange 18 (POST-PE18), week 33 and week 44.)
  • Change From Baseline to Week 44 in Cognitive, Functional and Neuropsychiatric Scores (MMSE, ADAS-Cog, NPS Battery and CSDD)(Change from baseline at week 44)
  • Change From Baseline to Week 44 in Cognitive, Functional and Neuropsychiatric Scores (ADCS-ADL, NPI, CDR-Sb and ADCS-CGIC).(Change from baseline at week 44)
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Structural Changes Variations Versus Baseline.(Week 00 (baseline), week 20 and week 44)
  • Variations in Hypoperfusion Based on Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)(End of study)
