A Study of Semorinemab in Patients With Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Alzheimer's Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03828747
Lead Sponsor
Genentech, Inc.
Brief Summary

This Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of semorinemab in patients with moderate AD. The study consists of a screening period, a double-blind treatment period, an optional open-label extension (OLE) period, and a safety follow-up period. There may be up to two study cohorts.

Inclusion Criteria
  • National Institute on Aging/Alzheimer's Association core clinical criteria for probable AD dementia
  • Evidence of the AD pathological process, by a positive amyloid assessment either on CSF Aβ1-42 as measured on Elecsys β-Amyloid(1-42) Test System OR amyloid PET scan
  • AD dementia of moderate severity, as defined by a screening MMSE score of 16-21 points, inclusive, and a CDR-GS of 1 or 2
  • Availability of a person with sufficient contact with the participant to be able to provide accurate information on the participant's cognitive, behavioral and functional ability
Exclusion Criteria
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Inability to tolerate MRI procedures or contraindication to MRI
  • Contraindication to PET imaging
  • Residence in a skilled nursing facility
  • Any serious medical condition or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests that, in the investigator's judgment, precludes the patient's safe participation in and completion of the study, or bias the assessment of the clinical or mental status of the participant to a significant degree
  • Any evidence of a condition other than AD that may affect cognition
  • Substance abuse within the past 2 years
  • Use of any experimental therapy within 90 days or 5 half-lives prior to screening, whichever is greater, or any passive immunotherapy against tau
  • Use of any passive immunotherapy (immunoglobulin) against Aβ, unless the last dose was at least 1 year prior to screening or any active immunotherapy (vaccine) that is under evaluation to prevent or postpone cognitive decline
  • Any other biologic therapy or previous treatment with medications specifically intended to treat Parkinsonian symptoms or any other non-AD neurodegenerative disorder within 1 year of screening
  • Systemic immunosuppressive therapy within 12 months of screening through the entire study period
  • Typical antipsychotic or neuroleptic medication within 6 months of screening
  • Daily treatment with any of the following classes of medication (except for intermittent short-term use): opiates or opioids, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, hypnotics, or any medication with clinically significant centrally-acting antihistamine or anticholinergic activity
  • Stimulant medications, unless the dose has been stable within the 6 months prior to screening and is expected to be stable throughout the study

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Last Visit of Double-Blind Treatment Period in Functional Capacities as Measured by the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL)Baseline to Week 49 for Cohorts 1 and 2, and Baseline to Week 61 for Cohort 2

The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL) is a scale used to quantify performance of activities of daily living (ADL). Scores on the ADCS-ADL range from 0-78, with higher scores indicating better ADL function.

Change From Baseline to Last Visit of Double-Blind Treatment Period in Cognitive Function as Measured by the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale, Cognitive Subscale, 11-Item Version (ADAS-Cog11)Baseline to Week 49 for Cohorts 1 and 2, and Baseline to Week 61 for Cohort 2

The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale, Cognitive Subscale, 11-Item Version (ADAS-Cog11) is an 11 item cognitive subscale used to quantify the areas of cognitive function most often affected in Alzheimer's disease. The total score ranges from 0-70 with lower scores indicating better cognitive function.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline to Last Visit of Double-Blind Treatment Period on the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)Baseline to Week 49 for Cohorts 1 and 2, and Baseline to Week 61 for Cohort 2

The Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) is a scale used to quantify the severity of symptoms of dementia. The CDR-SB is obtained through interviews of patients and informants, and disease severity is rated in 6 domains of functioning: memory, orientation, judgment and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care. Each domain is rated on a 5-point scale of functioning as follows: 0, no impairment; 0.5, questionable impairment; 1, mild impairment; 2, moderate impairment; and 3, severe impairment (personal care is scored on a 4-point scale without a 0.5 rating available). The CDR-SB score is obtained by summing each of the domain box scores, with scores ranging from 0 to 18, with the higher values representing more severe impairment.

Change From Baseline to Last Visit of Double-Blind Treatment Period on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)Baseline to Week 49 for Cohorts 1 and 2, and Baseline to Week 61 for Cohort 2

The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a brief clinical cognitive examination commonly used to screen for dementia and other cognitive deficits that has a total score of 0-30. Higher scores indicate better cognitive function.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse EventsBaseline up to end of study (approximately 4 years and 7 months)

An Adverse Event is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
