What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 11 Item (ADAS-Cog11) Total Score After 12 Weeks of Treatment

    The ADAS-Cog11 is an 11-item cognitive subscale that objectively measures memory, language, orientation and praxis with a total score range of 0 to 70, with lower scores indicating less severe impairment. A negative change indicates an improvement from baseline.

    Multiple comparison procedures and modelling (MCPmod) in combination with mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) is used for primary analysis of the primary endpoint.

    MMRM included fixed, categorical covariates of treatment, visit, baseline Mini Mental State Examination MMSE (>=20, <20) and treatment-by-visit interaction, as well as the continuous fixed covariates of baseline and baseline-by-visit interaction. Patient was considered as random effect. The unstructured covariance structure was used to model the within patient measurements. The same MMRM model used in the primary analysis is used for the secondary analysis of the primary endpoint.

    Measured: On day 1 (visit 2, baseline) and day 85 (end of trial)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline in the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study/Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) Score After 12 Weeks of Treatment

    Change from baseline in the ADCS-ADL score after 12 weeks of treatment is presented.

    The ADCS-ADL is a rating scale used to assess basic and instrumental activities of daily living. In the full version of the scale, 23 items are rated by the investigator using information supplied by the caregiver. Each item has a score range varying from 0-3 to 0-5. The sum score could range from 0 to 78, with higher scores indicating less severe impairment. A positive change indicates an improvement from baseline.

    Abbreviation: MMSE = Mini Mental State Examination

    Measured: On day 1 (visit 2, baseline) and day 85 (end of trial)

  2. Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change (CIBIC+) Score After 12 Weeks of Treatment

    Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change (CIBIC+) score is based on semi-structured interview covering domains of function and cognition. It additionally requires the assessment of psychiatric signs and symptoms. The patient and their caregiver are interviewed and questioned by the clinician. Change rate is based on an unanchored 7-point scale (with 0 being not assessed, 1-3 being very much improved to minimally improved, 4 being no change, and 5-7 being minimally worse to very much worse).

    For the ANCOVA model, the baseline value for CIBIC+ is represented by CIBIS which is clinician's interview-based impression of severity score (scores range from 0-7, with 0 being not assessed, 1 being normal, and 7 being most extremely ill) in order to adjust for potential baseline heterogeneity.

    Abbreviation: MMSE = Mini Mental State Examination

    Measured: On day 1 (visit 2, baseline) and day 85 (end of trial)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BI 425809 dose 1, BI 425809 dose 2 and BI 425809 dose 3 in people with Alzheimer Disease, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 95 sites in 14 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 6 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 6 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 95 sites in United States, Japan, France, Germany, United Kingdom and 9 more countries. 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 6 Nov 2020). 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 in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 11 Item (ADAS-Cog11) Total Score After 12 Weeks of Treatment (time frame: On day 1 (visit 2, baseline) and day 85 (end of trial)). 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 NCT02788513, 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 6 Nov 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
