Brief Summary:
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALZ-801 in Early Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects with the APOE4/4 genotype. This is a double-blind, randomized trial with one dose of ALZ-801 compared to placebo.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Early Alzheimer's Disease Drug: Experimental: ALZ-801 Drug: Placebo Comparator: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This is a multi-center, double-blind study that will evaluate 265 mg BID of ALZ-801, an oral tablet, over 78 weeks as a treatment for subjects (50-80 years old) with Early AD who are homozygous for the ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein gene (APOE4 homozygous or APOE4/4). The primary efficacy outcome assessment is a measure of cognition (ADAS-cog 13). Additional measures of global and functional impairments will also be assessed. Imaging and soluble biomarkers of AD and neurodegeneration will be measured and a sub-study to evaluate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers is also included.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Primary cognitive efficacy endpoint [ Time Frame: Week 78 ]
    Change from baseline in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale 13 (ADAS-cog 13) scores at 78 weeks

  2. Incidence, Nature, and Severity of Treatment Emergent Adverse events (TEAE) [ Time Frame: Week 78 ]
    Safety and tolerability as measured by incidence, nature and severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE), serious TEAE, and TEAE leading to withdrawal.

  3. Primary fluid biomarker endpoint 1 [ Time Frame: Week 78 ]
    Change from baseline in cerebrospinal fluid p-tau181 levels in sub-study

  4. Primary fluid biomarker endpoint 2 [ Time Frame: Week 78 ]
    Change from baseline in plasma p-tau181 levels

  5. Primary imaging biomarker endpoint [ Time Frame: Week 78 ]
    Change from baseline in total hippocampal volume (mm3) as measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Functional assessment 1 [ Time Frame: Week 78 ]
    Change from baseline in Amsterdam - Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scores

  2. Global assessment [ Time Frame: Week 78 ]
    Change from baseline in Clinical Dementia Rating - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) scores

  3. Functional assessment 2 [ Time Frame: Week 78 ]
    Change from baseline in Disability Assessment for Dementia (DAD)scores
