Inclusion criteria

  • Can understand the nature of the trial and protocol requirements and provide signed , if in the judgement of the Investigator is deemed competent to provide consent or if patient is deemed not competent to provide informed consent, with the patient's assent (if capable), consent may be provided by an appropriate person (eg, patient's Legally Authorized Representative [LAR]) before the initiation of any study-specific procedures in accordance with local regulations;
  • Meets clinical criteria for Alzheimer's disease based on 2011 National Institute of Aging-Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) dementia criteria and biomarker criteria and either:

    • Has a high likelihood for amyloid pathology consistent with Alzheimer's disease, as confirmed by blood-based biomarker at Screening as detected by an appropriately validated test; or
    • Has historical documentation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker or amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) brain scan;
  • Meets all criteria for agitation according to the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) consensus definition
  • Has agitation defined as a Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Agitation/Aggression (NPI-AA) domain total score of ≥ 4 at both Screening and Baseline;
  • CGI-S score ≥ 4 at Screening and Baseline;
  • Has , 2nd Edition™: Standard Version (MMSE-2®:SV) score of 6 to 24 at Screening;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Agitation symptoms are attributable to concomitant medications, adverse environmental conditions, substance abuse, or active medical or psychiatric conditions as per Investigator's judgment;
  • Has been diagnosed with one or more of the following psychiatric conditions:

    • Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or other psychotic disorder that is not related to Alzheimer's dementia;
    • Bipolar disorder;
    • Major depressive disorder, unless it is considered stable and treated for at least 8 weeks prior to Screening;
  • Has a significant risk for suicidal behavior during the course of their participation in the study, or is considered to be an imminent danger to themselves or others, in the opinion of the investigator, and/or as assessed by Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS); or the patient has had 1 or more suicide attempts within the 2 years prior to Screening;
  • The patient has known or intolerance to ITI-1284 or lumateperone, or to any of their .
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

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.

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.

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. Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) total score

    The CMAI is a reliable and validated, 29-item caregiver-rating questionnaire to assess agitated behavior in elderly patients. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale of frequency, from "never" (1) to "several times an hour" (7), with 1 being the "best" rating and 7 being the "worst" rating. The minimum possible CMAI total score is 29, and the maximum possible CMAI total score is 203.

    Time frame: Week 12

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score

    The CGI-S is a clinician-rated scale to assess a patient's overall mental health. The scale ranges from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients)

    Time frame: Week 12

Timeline

2 registry updates since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2027, 38 months after the start.

Of 41 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Dementia, 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 38 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 83 studies reached it within 38 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 61.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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.
