Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

MMSE and MoCA

Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in the total score of the 11-item Alzheimer´s Disease Assessment Scale- Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog)

    Scores on the ADAS-Cog range from 0-70 with higher scores indicating greater cognitive impairment.

    Time frame: Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4)

  2. Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: throughout the 12-week study period.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in the score of the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST)

    Scores on the DSST range from 0-93 with lower scores indicating greater impairment.

    Time frame: Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4)

  2. Change From Baseline in the speed to perform the Zazzo's Cancellation Test

    Time frame: Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4)

  3. Change From Baseline in the score of the Zazzo's Cancellation Test

    Time frame: Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4)

  4. Change From Baseline in the score of the 15-second Isaacs Set Test

    Time frame: Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4)

  5. Change From Baseline in the time score of the Trail Making Test - part A

    Time frame: Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4)

  6. Change From Baseline in the time score of the Trail Making Test - part B

    Time frame: Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4)

  7. Change From Baseline in the score of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT)

    FCSRT is a memory test administered according to the procedure described by Gröber and Buschke modified with 16 verbal items.

  8. Change From Baseline in the score of the 4-item Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale (IADL-PAQUID)

    The 4-item Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale (IADL) concerns four routine daily functions (using transportation, managing finances, using the phone and managing medicines use). Scores on the IADL range from 4-15 with higher scores indicating greater impairment.

    Time frame: V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (V2, V3 and V4)

  9. Change From Baseline in the score of the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale

    The Sum of Boxes score of the CDR ranges from 0 to 18, with higher scores indicating greater impairment.

    Time frame: 1 (baseline) and V4 (end of study, after 12 weeks of treatment)

  10. Change From Baseline in the score of the Apathy Inventory (AI) scale

    Scores on the AI range from 0-12 with higher scores indicating greater impairment.

    Time frame: 1 (baseline) and V4 (end of study, after 12 weeks of treatment)

Other outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in the cognitive Event Related Potential parameters (optional)

The record gives a start of Feb 2013, a primary completion of Jun 2015 and a completion of Jun 2015. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 15, 2016, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
