Phase 2 Estimation Study of Fixed Dose Drugs Combination Type of Polypill

This is an estimation-focused Phase 2 study designed to explore and quantify treatment-related changes across multiple clinical outcomes in patients with Alzheimer's disease over a 210-day period. The anticipated study population are males and females aged 50-85 years with very mild to severe Alzheimer's Disease. The duration of individual patient participation will be approximately 224 Days: up to 14 days for Screening, 180 days for study drug administration, and a final follow-up visit at 210 days. The planned study duration is 12-18 months from Screening of the first patient until the last follow-up of the last patients.

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical Dementia Rating - Global Score

    Time frame: Day 210

    CDR - Global Score: To estimate the magnitude and variability of clinical response to a drug combination Tablet in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) after 180 days of treatment against Placebo Tablet.

    The CDR scale is a widely used dementia staging instrument that produces a global score. This study will use global score for estimation, comparisons and analysis. The global score ranges from 0 to 3. The sites are instructed to use a standardized online calculator for scoring. This resulting calculation reflects the following scoring 0 = normal, no cognitive impairment; 0.5 = very mild dementia, minimal impairment in one domain; 1 = mild dementia, noticeable impairment in one or more domains; 2 = moderate dementia, significant impairment in multiple domains; 3 = severe dementia, major impairment in multiple domains.

  2. Clinical Dementia Rating - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) Score

    Time frame: Day 210

    CDR - SB: To estimate the magnitude and variability of clinical response to a drug combination Tablet in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) after 180 days of treatment against Placebo Tablet. The CDR scale is a widely used dementia staging instrument that produces a summated score (sum of boxes score). This study will use the summated score, comparisons and analysis. The "Sum of boxes" scoring methodology sums the score for each of the 6 domains and provides a value ranging from 0 to 18 that can change in of 0.5 or greater. Higher scores indicate greater disease severity. A positive change from baseline indicates clinical decline. Score Range from 0 to 18. Response choices are 0 = normal; 0.5 to 2.5 = questionable impairment; 3.0 to 4.0 = very mild dementia; 4.5 to 9.0 = mild dementia; 9.5 to 15.5 = moderate dementia; 16.0 to 18.0 = severe dementia.

  3. Mini-Mental Scale Evaluation, 2nd Edition (MMSE-2) Score

    Time frame: Day 210

    MMSE-2: To estimate the magnitude and variability of clinical response to a drug combination Tablet in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) after 180 days of treatment against Placebo Tablet. The MMSE-2 is a widely used test of cognitive function among the elderly. The Standard Version consists of a 30-point questionnaire that includes tests of orientation, attention, memory, language, and visual-spatial skills. Score Range from 0 to 30. Response choices are 30 = normal; 26 to 29 = mild cognitive impairment; 21 to 25 = early stage dementia or mild cognitive impairment; 11 to 20 = middle stage dementia or moderate cognitive impairment; 0 to 10 = late stage dementia or severe cognitive impairment.

  4. Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-COG)

    Time frame: Day 210

    ADAS-COG: To estimate the magnitude and variability of clinical response to a drug combination Tablet in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) after 180 days of treatment against Placebo Tablet. The ADAS-COG is used to assess cognitive symptoms of dementia. It consists of 7 performance items and 4 clinician-rated items assessing memory, orientation, language and praxis. Score Range from 0 to 70. Response choices are 0 to 10 = minimal to no cognitive impairment; 11 to 20 = mild cognitive impairment; 21 to 30 = moderate cognitive impairment; 31 to 70 = severe cognitive impairment.

  5. Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-ADL scale (ADCS-ADL)

    Time frame: Day 210

    ADCS-ADL: To estimate the magnitude and variability of clinical response to a drug combination Tablet in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) after 180 days of treatment against Placebo Tablet. The ADCS-ADL is a comprehensive battery of ADL questions used to measure the functional capabilities of patients; each item is rated from the highest level of independent performance to complete loss. Score Range from 0 to 78. Response choices are 0 to 20 = severe impairment; 21 to 40 = moderate impairment; 41 to 60 = mild impairment; 61 to 78 = minimal impairment.

  6. Clinical Global Impressions - Improvement (CGI-I)

    Time frame: Day 210

    CGI-I: To estimate the magnitude and variability of clinical response to a drug combination Tablet in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) after 180 days of treatment against Placebo Tablet. The Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) scale will be assessed at all visits after Baseline. The Investigator (or designee) will answer the following question: "Compared to the patient's condition at Baseline. Score Range from 1 to 7. Response choices are: 1 = very much improved; 2 = much improved; 3 = minimally improved; 4 = no change from Baseline; 5 = minimally worse; 6 = much worse; 7 = very much worse since Baseline".

  7. Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S)

    Time frame: Day 210

    CGI-S: To estimate the magnitude and variability of clinical response to a drug combination Tablet in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) after 180 days of treatment against Placebo Tablet. The Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) scale will be assessed at Baseline and all visits afterward. The Investigator (or designee) will answer the following question: "Considering your total clinical experience with AD, how ill is the patient at this time?" Score Range from 1 to 7. Response choices are 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; and 7 = among the most extremely ill patients.
