Alzheimer's disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment
Conditions
Brief summary
Changes in exosome biomarkers of pre-programmed cell death, synaptic integrity and function, neuroinflammation, and AD-related protein trafficking in participants treated with phenserine versus those treated with donepezil.
Detailed description
Safety and tolerability of phenserine compared to donepezil in participants with early or mild AD based on the frequencies of reported or observed adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAE), vital signs, clinical laboratory evaluations, ECGs, modified CSSRS scores., Pharmacokinetic parameters will be assessed at steady state for determination of dose-response relationships for phenserine and donepezil, Proportion of participants in the phenserine arm achieving the target cholinesterase inhibition of ~45%, stratified by dosing regimen and the time to reach the target inhibition and the duration of maintaining this target will be assessed and recorded, Compliance will be recorded, including the proportion of participants complying with the treatment schedule. Compliance is defined as drug intake within 80-120% of the scheduled dosing., Assess changes in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42, Tau, and p-tau, and in blood plasma: p-tau217 and Nfl., Neuropsychology assessments will be conducted using the FLAME computer-based domain composites for memory, executive function, attention and sustained attention to evaluate changes over the 8-week treatment period in the phenserine treated participants compared to those who received donepezil., The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) will be administered at baseline and at the end of the study to evaluate changes in overall cognitive function across multiple domains, including visuospatial abilities, language, attention, memory, and executive function.
