About this study

Official title: Interventional, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single-ascending-dose Study Investigating the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetic Properties of Lu AF87908 in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Alzheimer's Disease

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of a single dose of Lu AF87908, how well it is tolerated and what the body does to the drug in healthy participants and participants with Alzheimer's disease.

Read the detailed description

The study will be divided into three parts: Part A, Part B and Part C.

Part A consists of up to 6 sequential cohorts (Cohorts A1 to A6):

-Cohorts A1 to A6: 8 healthy participants per cohort (aiming for an equal number of men and women): 6 randomized to Lu AF87908 and 2 randomized to placebo.

Part B consists of up to 3 sequential cohorts (Cohorts B1 to B3):

-Cohorts B1 to B3: 4 Japanese and 4 Chinese healthy participants per cohort: 6 participants randomized to Lu AF87908 and 2 participants randomized to placebo.

Part C consists of 2 sequential cohorts (Cohorts C1 and C4):

-Cohort C1 will consist of 6 participants with Alzheimer's disease with 3:1 randomization scheme for active: placebo. Cohort C4 will consist of up to 8 participants. Cohort C4 participants will be randomized based on the randomization scheme from Cohort C1.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    Safety and tolerability based on the safety assessments (clinical safety laboratory tests, vital signs, weight, ECG parameters and physical examination)

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 84

  2. AUC(0-t) of Lu AF87908

    Area under the plasma concentration curve for Lu AF87908

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 84

  3. Cmax of Lu AF87908

    Maximum observed plasma concentration for Lu AF87908

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 84

  4. Tmax Lu AF87908

    Nominal time of occurrence of Cmax of Lu AF97908 in plasma

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 84

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lu AF87908 in people with Healthy and Alzheimer Disease, run by H. Lundbeck A/S at 6 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 10 inclusion and 5 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 4 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: From Day 0 to Day 84). 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 4 Aug 2023.
