AIT 082 IN MILD ALZHEIMERS DISEASE PATIENTS

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

AIT-082 is being developed as a new therapeutic agent for Alzheimer' disease (AD). Preclincal experiments indicate that AIT-082 has memory enhancing and neurotrophic properties. Two prior single-dose, Phase 1 studies with AIT-082 have shown good safety and tolerability in humans. This Phase 1B clinical trial is designed to assess multiple-dose safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AIT-082 in patients diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease. The study will be conducted at four sites with General Clinical Research Center. Thirty-six patients will be recruited (nine at each clinical site). Each patient will receive an oral dose of AIT-082 or placebo, daily for one week. Patients will be divided into three escalating dose cohorts, 12 patients each. Each cohort will consist of eight patients randomized to a dose of AIT-082 (100mg/day, 500mg/day or 2000 mg/day) plus four patients to placebo. Patients will be observed for adverse reactions throughout the study. Blood will be collected to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of AIT-082 with multiple dosing. Preliminary efficacy data will be collected. Neuropsychological tests will be used to assess possible short-term effects of AIT-082 on cognition and memory in AD.
