简要总结
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MMFS for improving cognition and global function in patients with probable Early Alzheimer's disease.
详细描述
This is a phase 2 study in patients with probable Early Alzheimer's disease (AD). Early AD includes Stage 3 AD patients (MCI due to AD) and Stage 4 AD patients (mild AD). The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group design, in which participants (up to 6 per arm; 12 total) will receive oral placebo or MMFS twice daily for 24 weeks. Randomized patients and their informants (required) will complete 3 assessments total: at baseline (prior to taking any study tablets), week 12, and week 24 visits. At each of the three visits, participants will complete cognitive and behavioral measures and clinical interviews, a blood sample will be collected for safety and biomarkers related to Alzheimer's disease, and the informant will complete an interview concerning the patient's cognition, mood, and function. A range of safety and tolerability assessments will also be performed (including vital signs, laboratory tests, and ECGs). Participants will be contacted by phone between clinical assessments for monitoring.

排除标准
- •Patients meeting any of the following exclusion criteria will not be enrolled in the study:
- •Exclusions to rule out subjects with cognitive impairment likely due to something other than AD:
- •Known negative biomarker for brain amyloid pathology as indicated by either amyloid PET or CSF assessment or both
- •Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) or unexplained loss of consciousness in the past 1 year
- •Clinically significant psychiatric illness in past 6 months requiring hospitalization
- •Seizure in the past 3 years
- •Within 1 year before the screening or between screening and baseline, any of the following: myocardial infarction; moderate or severe congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association class III or IV; hospitalization for, or symptom of, unstable angina; syncope due to orthostatic hypotension or unexplained syncope; known significant structural heart disease (e.g., significant valvular disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), or hospitalization for arrhythmia; congenital QT prolongation

- •Alcohol or substance abuse in past 1 year
- •Untreated and/or uncontrolled hypothyroidism
- •Evidence of vascular dementia (Modified Hachinski Ischemia Scale score >5)
- •History of clinically important carotid or vertebrobasilar stenosis or plaque
- •Systemic chemotherapy in past 1 year
- •Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis
- •Unintentional rapid weight loss (>10% body weight within past 12 months)

- •Poor kidney function; corrected estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcorr) < 40 mL/min/m2
- •History of significant gastrointestinal disorder, such as chronic Diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, Chron's disease, etc.
- •Exclusions to rule out subjects with sleeping problems not related to CNS disorder:
- •Diagnosed with apnea/hypopnea but not using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BIPAP). If diagnosed with apnea/hypopnea, subject must maintain use of device throughout study
- •Untreated nocturia that affects sleep
- •Exclusions to rule out subjects with conditions that could affect their safety:
