- Conditions
- Alzheimer Disease, Early Onset
- Interventions
- Device: PlaceboDevice: LIPUS-Brain
- Registration Number
- NCT05983575
- Lead Sponsor
- Sound Wave Innovation CO., LTD.
- Brief Summary
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study comparing LIPUS-Brain transcranial low-intensity pulsed-wave ultrasound device to placebo in patients with Early Alzheimer's Disease. The primary objective of the study is to assess changes in ADAS-J-cog-14 scores from baseline to 72 weeks.

-
Patients with the same partner/informant who meet all of the following conditions during the study period
- Living with or in contact with the patient
- It is possible to observe the patient's activities of daily living and physical condition.
- Being able to be present at all times during the efficacy evaluation specified in this clinical trial
- Person judged by an investigator to be able to manage administration of concomitant medications
-
Patients who met the diagnostic criteria of Mild AD or MCI due to AD according to the NIA/AA 2018 diagnostic criteria at the time of informed consent and were diagnosed as positive by the amyloid PET imaging evaluation committee.
-
Have a CDR global score of 0.5 (MCI due to AD) to 1.0 (Mild AD) at screening.
-
Patients with her MMSE-J score >=20 at screening.
-
No organic diseases such as symptomatic cerebral hemorrhage, symptomatic cerebral infarction, acute cerebral infarction, brain tumor, etc. within 48 weeks before obtaining informed consent or in head MRI images at screening, and in head MRA images, Patients evaluated by the imaging evaluation committee as not having severe stenosis/occlusion from the internal carotid artery to the middle cerebral artery.
-

- Patients with impaired consciousness with a GCS score of 12 or less at the time of enrollment.
- Patients who have had symptomatic cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage within 12 weeks prior to enrollment.
- Patients with a modified Hachinski Ischemic Scale score of 5 or more at enrollment.
- Patients with Lewy body dementia and frontotemporal dementia.
- Patients judged by the investigator to be difficult to participate in the clinical trial due to severe mental illness
- Poorly controlled serious systemic disease (heart failure, liver failure, renal failure, vitamin B12 deficiency, hypothyroidism, etc.) that makes it difficult for the investigator to participate in the study judged patient.
