A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose Ranging Study of Xanamem® in Healthy Elderly Volunteers

Xanamem® is being developed as a potential drug for Mild Cognitive Impairment in Alzheimer's disease. This study drug has been designed to change the cortisol levels in the brain. Cortisol is a naturally occurring hormone in the body. It is believed that reducing the level of cortisol will be a benefit in the treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment in Alzheimer's disease.

The purpose of this study in older volunteers is to investigate the smallest dose of Xanamem® (5 mg or 10 mg) which works and to investigate which dose in this study will be used in the upcoming clinical trials in patients.

Treatment and study plan

Xanamem® 5 mg

Drug

Oral Xanamem® ("UE2343") capsules 5 mg, administered orally once daily.

Placebo

Drug

Matching placebo which is identical in appearance to the test product (5 mg, 10 mg Xanamem® QD) except that it contains no active ingredient.

Xanamem® 10 mg

Primary outcomes

  1. Short-term efficacy: Assessment of changes of different doses of Xanamem® on cognition.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6 (End of Treatment), Week 10 (Follow-Up)

    Using a tailored Cogstate Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB), changes from baseline, as well as composite scores based on a combination of these variables at each treatment visit [Week 2, Week 4, Week 6 (End of Treatment), Week 10 (Follow-Up)] will be analyzed.

  2. Assessment of safety and tolerability of different Xanamem® doses by the occurrence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs).

    Time frame: 10 Weeks [Baseline to Week 10 Follow-Up (4 Weeks Post Last Dose of Study Drug)]

    The number, type, and severity of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) that are reported from Baseline to Follow-up Visit will be collected and evaluated.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Short-term efficacy of different doses of Xanamem® on cognition

    Time frame: Screening, Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6 (End of Treatment), Week 10 (Follow-Up)

    Using the International Daily Digit Symbol Substitution Test-Symbols, to analyze changes from Screening to, Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6 (End of Treatment), Week 10 (Follow-Up).
