Key Objectives Primary Objective:
Secondary Objective:
Study Design • Type of Study:
o A randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study. "Randomized" means participants are randomly assigned to receive either the actual drug (NTRX-07) or a placebo (an inactive substance). "Double-masked" indicates that neither the participants nor the researchers know who receives the real drug or the placebo, reducing bias and ensuring objective results.
48 individuals with MCI or mild to moderate AD.
Participants will be split into two groups: 24 will receive NTRX-07, and 24 will receive a placebo.
Study Procedures
Before starting the treatment, participants will undergo a screening period of up to 45 days. During this time, they will have tests to confirm their eligibility, including physical exams, blood tests, cognitive assessments, and brain imaging (MRI).
Participants will take the study drug or placebo daily for 28 days. During this period, they will visit the study center for evaluations, including safety checks, cognitive tests, blood and CSF sampling, and EEG tests (to measure brain activity).
Safety Monitoring and Assessments
Exploratory Assessments
o Cognitive Testing:
Standard tests like the AD Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-cog) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) will be used to evaluate any changes in cognitive function.
o Brain Imaging:
MRI scans will help assess changes in brain structure and inflammation.
o Biomarkers:

Change in Quantitative EEG in treated participants
32 lead EEG; absolute power and relative power in the different frequency bands, 10 min eyes shut followed by 10 min eyes open. EEG processing involves the computation of the spectra of artifact-free segments. The Hanning window is used, and the FFT algorithm is analyzed using Matlab scripts. The AUC of spectrum segments provides estimations of power in each frequency band of interest. Absolute powers and relative powers are provided for each band. For each band, relative power is the absolute power divided by the power of the total band.
Time frame: Baseline and Day 28
Change in Quantitative EEG p-300 evoked response in treated participants
The P300 wave is an evoked potential that reflects the decision-making process in the cerebral cortex in a situation of cognitive task. It is obtained by repeated stimulations with two types of auditory stimuli: a group of stimuli constituting the background (stimuli called "standard" or "frequent"), against different stimuli which are less frequent (stimuli named "odd" or "rare" or "deviant"). The P300 wave is characterized by a positive deflection occurring approximately 300 ms after odd stimuli. The standard stimulus is a 500Hz sound, and the oddball stimulus is a 2000Hz sound. Stimuli are presented through calibrated headphone in a pseudo randomized order. The inter-stimulus interval is randomized between 1200 and 1900ms to avoid anticipation. Oddball makes up 15% of presentations.
