A 28-Day Study of GAL-101 in Participants With Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

A Phase 2 interventional study of GAL-101 Salt and Placebo in Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease, sponsored by Galimedix Therapeutics Inc. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 50 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-27.

Study summary

This Phase 2a study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of GAL-101 in approximately 100 participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease associated with amyloid-beta pathology. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 1200 mg of GAL-101 salt or matching placebo tablets by mouth once daily for 28 days. Neither the participants nor the study team will know which treatment each participant receives during the study.

The study will also explore whether GAL-101 affects brain-wave activity measured using quantitative electroencephalography, Alzheimer's disease-related biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid, and performance on cognitive tests. Blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples will be collected to evaluate how GAL-101 is absorbed and distributed in the body.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female participants aged 50 to 85 years, inclusive.
  • Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease at the mild or moderate dementia stage (Stages 4 or 5) according to the 2018 National Institute on Aging and Alzheimer's Association criteria
  • Evidence of amyloid-beta pathology based on cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, amyloid-beta positron emission tomography, or plasma phosphorylated tau 217.
  • Evidence of cognitive decline during the previous year.
  • Availability of a reliable trial partner, caregiver, or legal representative who has contact with the participant for at least 10 hours per week and can support study participation.
  • Able and willing to provide and comply with study requirements.
  • In sufficiently good health, in the investigator's opinion, to participate in the study.
  • If receiving an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor or memantine, treatment must be at a stable dose for the protocol-specified period.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • A neurological, psychiatric, cerebrovascular, or other medical condition that could explain the participant's cognitive impairment, interfere with study assessments, or create an unacceptable safety risk.
  • Previous treatment with anti-amyloid-beta immunotherapy.
  • Participation in another interventional clinical study or receipt of an drug within 3 months before screening.
  • Use of prohibited medications or substances that could affect cognition, electroencephalography assessments, safety, or interpretation of the study results.
  • or unstable cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, metabolic, infectious, or malignant disease.
  • Active major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or clinically significant suicide risk.
  • Known or suspected to GAL-101, placebo, or their components.
  • A scalp condition that would prevent adequate electroencephalography assessment.
  • Inability to comply with the study schedule or procedures.
  • Any other condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the participant unsuitable for the study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

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.

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.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    GAL-101 1200 mg

    Participants will receive two 600 mg GAL-101 salt tablets orally once daily for 28 days. Treatment may be administered with or without food.

    Drug: GAL-101 Salt

  • Placebo comparator
    Placebo

    Participants will receive two matching placebo tablets orally once daily for 28 days. Treatment may be administered with or without food.

    Drug: Placebo

Interventions

  • DrugGAL-101 Salt

    GAL-101 salt will be administered orally as two 600 mg tablets, for a total dose of 1200 mg once daily for 28 days. The tablets may be taken with or without food.

  • DrugPlacebo

    Matching placebo will be administered orally as two tablets once daily for 28 days. The tablets may be taken with or without food.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Number of participants who experience one or more adverse events following administration of GAL-101 salt or placebo.

    Time frame: From the first dose through 4 weeks after the last dose, approximately 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Global Alpha-Band Corrected Amplitude Envelope Correlation

    Change from baseline in global alpha-band corrected amplitude envelope correlation (AEC-c), assessed using quantitative electroencephalography. AEC-c is used to evaluate functional connectivity and synaptic activity in the brain.

    Time frame: Baseline to the end of the 28-day treatment perio
