Alzheimer's Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
To establish efficacy of idalopirdine as adjunctive therapy to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) for symptomatic treatment of patients with mild-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Detailed description
The study consisted of a screening period (up to 2-week period from screening to randomization), a 24-week double-blind treatment period with placebo or idalopirdine 60mg/day as adjunctive therapy to an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (donepezil 10mg/day, rivastigmine at the patient's individual maintenance dose, or galantamine at the patient's individual maintenance dose), and a 4-week safety follow-up period following study completion or withdrawal from treatment. The dose could be decreased once during the study to 30mg/day if 60mg/day was not well tolerated in the opinion of the investigator. The dose could be increased again to 60mg/day, after which the dose was kept fixed for the remainder of the study. Dose changes were permitted until Week 12 (Visit 5).
Interventions

| Change in Cognition | Baseline and Week 24 | Change from baseline to Week 24 in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog) total score. The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog) is a 11-item neuropsychological test that assess the severity of cognitive impairment. The items determine the patient's orientation, memory, language, and praxis. Total score of the 11 items range from 0 to 70 (lower score indicates lower cognitive impairment). |

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Daily Functioning | Baseline and Week 24 | Change from baseline to Week 24 in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL23) total score. The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL23) is a 23-item clinician-rated inventory to assess activities of daily living (conducted with a caregiver or informant). Each item comprises a series of hierarchical sub-questions, ranging from the highest level of independent performance to a complete loss for each activity. Total score of the 23 items ranges from 0 to 78 (higher score indicates lower disability). |
| Change in Behavioural Disturbance | Baseline and Week 24 | Change from baseline to Week 24 in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) total score The Neuropsychiatric Inventory is a 12-item structured interview with a caregiver to assess behavioural disturbances. The NPI comprises 10 behavioural and 2 neurovegetative items. Each item consists of a screening question and several sub-questions that are rated no (not present) or yes (present). Each item is then rated for frequency (a 4-point scale from 1 \[occasionally\] to 4 \[very frequent\]) and severity (a 3-point scale from 1 \[mild\] to 3 \[marked\]). The total NPI score is the frequency ratings multiplied by the severity ratings and ranges from 0 to 144 (higher score indicates worse outcome). |
| Change in Individual Behavioural Disturbance Items | Baseline and Week 24 | Change in single NPI item scores at Week 24. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory is a 12-item structured interview with a caregiver to assess behavioural disturbances. The NPI comprises 10 behavioural and 2 neurovegetative items. Each item consists of a screening question and several sub-questions that are rated no (not present) or yes (present). Each item is then rated for frequency (a 4-point scale from 1 \[occasionally\] to 4 \[very frequent\]) and severity (a 3-point scale from 1 \[mild\] to 3 \[marked\]). Total score for each single NPI item ranges from 0-12 (frequency multiplied by severity), where higher scores represent worse outcome. |

The NPI comprises 10 behavioural and 2 neurovegetative items. Each item consists of a screening question and several sub-questions that are rated no (not present) or yes (present). Each item is then rated for frequency (a 4-point scale from 1 \[occasionally\] to 4 \[very frequent\]) and severity (a 3-point scale from 1 \[mild\] to 3 \[marked\]). The total score for the NPI anxiety item ranges from 0-12 (frequency multiplied by severity), where a higher score represents a worse outcome. |
| Change in Global Impression | Baseline and Week 24 | Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Clinical Global Impression of Change (ADCS-CGIC) score at Week 24. The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Clinical Global Impression of Change is a semi-structured interview to assess clinically relevant changes in patients with AD. The items determine cognition, behavior, social and daily functioning. Severity at baseline is rated on a 7-point scale from 1 (normal, not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). The clinically relevant change from baseline is rated on a 7-point scale from 1 (marked improvement) to 7 (marked worsening). |

| Change in Cognitive Aspects of Mental Function | Baseline and Week 24 | Change from baseline to Week 24 in Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) is an 11-item test to assess the cognitive aspects of mental function. The subtests assess orientation, memory, attention, language, and visual construction. The scores for each item is dichotomous (1 = response is correct, 0 = response is incorrect). Total score of the 11 items ranges from 0 to 30 (higher score indicates lower deficit). |
| Change in Health-related Quality of Life (EQ-5D) Utility Score | Baseline and Week 24 | Change from baseline to Week 24 in EuroQol 5-dimensional (EQ-5D) utility score The EQ-5D is a patient-reported assessment that measures the patient's well-being.

Each descriptive item is rated on a 3-point index ranging from 1 (no problems) to 3 (extreme problems) that is used for calculating a single summary index (from 0 to 1). A higher EQ-5D score indicates a worse outcome. |
