This is a multicenter randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two doses of CT1812 compared to placebo in participants diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease.
This is a multicenter randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two doses of CT1812 compared to placebo for approximately 18 months (72 weeks) in approximately 540 participants diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease
Participants will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive either 100mg or 200mg of CT1812 or placebo. CT1812 or placebo will be administered as 2 capsules to be taken orally once daily.

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.
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.

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.

Change from baseline in the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) scale.
The Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) is a clinical scale that describes 5 levels of impairment in performance on each of 6 categories of function including memory, orientation, judgment and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care. The ratings of degree of impairment obtained on each of the 6 categories of function are synthesized into 1 global rating of dementia as absent, questionable, mild, moderate, or severe (global CDR scores of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, or 3, respectively). The score is based on interviews with the participant and study partner, using a structured interview. A sum of boxes score (CDR-SB) provides an additional measure of change where each category has a maximum possible score of 3 points and the total score is a sum of the category scores giving a total possible score of 0 to 18 with higher scores indicating more impairment.

Started Jun 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2027, 47 months after the start.
Of 130 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Alzheimer Disease, half reached primary completion within 26 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 39. This study's planned 47 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 257 studies reached it within 37 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 58.
