About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Multi-center, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of T-817MA in Patients With Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of T-817MA as measured by ADAS-cog and ADCS-CGIC.

The secondary objectives are:

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of T-817MA measured by clinical safety laboratories, physical examinations, ECGs and solicitation of adverse events.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of T-817MA as measured by ADCS-ADL, FAQ, Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) and Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE).

What is being measured

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

  1. ADAS-cog Change From Baseline to Week 52

    The ADAS-cog (Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale) is a structured scale that evaluates memory (word recall, word recognition), reasoning (following commands), language (naming, comprehension), orientation, ideational praxis (placing letter in envelope) and constructional praxis (copying geometric designs). Ratings of spoken language, language comprehension, word finding difficulty, and ability to remember test instructions are also obtained. The test is scored in terms of errors, with higher scores reflecting poorer performance and greater impairment. Scores can range from 0 (best) to 70 (worse).

    Measured: Baseline and 52 weeks

  2. CGIC

    The ADCS-CGIC (Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Clinical Global Impression of Change) is a validated categorical measure of change in the patient's clinical condition between baseline and follow-up visits. It measures whether the effects of active treatment are substantial enough to be detected by a skilled and experienced clinician on the basis of a clinical interview and examination. It relies on both direct examination of the patient and an interview of the study partner. A skilled and experienced clinician who is blinded to treatment assignment rates the patient on a 7-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (marked improvement) to 7 (marked worsening). It is suggested that the instrument has distinct clinical utility in assessing change in AD clinical trials.

    Measured: 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. ADCS-ADL Change From Baseline to Week 52

    The ADCS-ADL (Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living) is a validated tool for assessing instrumental and basic activities of daily living based on a 23-item structured interview of the study partner. The scale has a range of 0 to 78, with lower scores indicating greater impairment.

    Measured: Baseline and 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing T-817MA-H and T-817MA-L in people with Alzheimer's Disease, run by FUJIFILM Toyama Chemical Co., Ltd. at 50 sites in United States.

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 3 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 26 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 50 sites in United States. 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 9 Aug 2018). 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?

ADAS-cog Change From Baseline to Week 52 (time frame: Baseline and 52 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02079909, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Feb 2019.
