About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Ranging, Safety and Efficacy Study of Oral ELND005 (AZD-103) in Alzheimer's Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-related safety and efficacy of multiple oral dosages of ELND005 as treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Read the detailed description

ELND005 (formerly known as AZD-103), scyllo-inositol, is being investigated as an orally administered treatment for AD. ELND005 may prevent or inhibit the build up of amyloid protein in the brains of AD patients.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, safety and efficacy study of oral ELND005 in male and female participants aged 50-85 years with mild to moderate AD. Approximately 340 patients will be enrolled into the study at approximately 65 study sites. Patients will be randomized to receive either ELND005 or placebo. Each patient's participation will last approximately 18 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB) Z-score (Full Analysis Set; FAS)

    The NTB assessment is comprised of 9 instruments that measure cognition and executive function. Three of these tests measure immediate memory, next three measure delayed memory, and remaining three assess executive function. The total score is a weighted mean of the nine tests, referred to as the Z-score. Typically, scores range from -3 and 3, with lower scores suggesting greater cognitive impairment.

    Measured: Baseline and 78 weeks

  2. Additional Analysis of Primary Outcome Measure: Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB) Z-score (Per Protocol Set; PPS)

    The NTB assessment is comprised of 9 instruments that measure cognition and executive function. Three of these tests measure immediate memory, next three measure delayed memory, and remaining three assess executive function. The total score is a weighted mean of the nine tests, referred to as the Z-score. Typically, scores range from -3 and 3, with lower scores suggesting greater cognitive impairment.

    Measured: Baseline and 78 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) Score (Full Analysis Set; FAS)

    The ADCS-ADL is a 23-item scale that measures a subject's functional abilities as assessed by the subject's caregiver. This scale ranges from 0 to 78, with lower scores suggesting greater functional impairment.

    Measured: Baseline and 78 weeks

  4. Additional Analysis of Primary Outcome Measure: Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) Score (Per Protocol Set; PPS)

    The ADCS-ADL is a 23-item scale that measures a subject's functional abilities as assessed by the subject's caregiver. This scale ranges from 0 to 78, with lower scores suggesting greater functional impairment.

    Measured: Baseline and 78 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) Score From Baseline to Week 78 (Full Analysis Set; FAS)

    The ADAS-Cog primarily measures cognitive ability. The version used in this study was comprised of 12 items with scores ranging from 0 to 75. Higher scores suggest greater cognitive impairment.

    Measured: Baseline and 78 weeks

  2. Change in Clinical Dementia Rating - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) Score From Baseline to Week 78 (Full Analysis Set; FAS)

    The CDR-SB consists of 6 items; 3 measuring cognitive ability and 3 measuring functional ability. The score for each of the six items range from 0 to 3; hence the total score is between 0 and 18. Higher scores suggest greater cognitive impairment.

    Measured: Baseline and 78 weeks

  3. Change in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) Score From Baseline to Week 78 (Full Analysis Set; FAS)

    The NPI is used to obtain information on the presence of severity of neuropsychological symptoms, and was specifically designed for use in Alzheimer's disease subjects. The scale consists of 12 items with each item having outcomes from 0 to 12; hence the total score ranges from 0 to 144. Higher scores suggest greater psychiatric impairment.

    Measured: Baseline and 78 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ELND005 in people with Alzheimer Disease, run by OPKO Health, Inc. at 62 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 62 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Mar 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB) Z-score (Full Analysis Set; FAS) (time frame: Baseline and 78 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Nov 2019.
