Efficacy and Safety of DMB-I (INN: Latrepirdine) in Patients With Alzheimer Type Dementia
brief summary
The goal of this clinical study is to learn if the study drug DMB-I (INN: Latrepirdine) works to treat Alzheimer type dementia in adults. It will also learn about the safety of DMB-I (INN: Latrepirdine). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does DMB-I improve cognitive functions in patients with dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease, and how sigificant the improvement is? * What medical problems do participants have when taking DMB-I? Researchers will compare DMB-I to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if the study drug works to treat Alzheimer type dementia. * Is DMB-I effective and safe when taken long-term? Participants will: Take the study drug or a placebo (with or without Akatinol Memantine®) every day for 26 weeks at Stage 1 of the study, and take the study drug (with or without Akatinol Memantine®) every day for 26 weeks at Stage 2 of the study. Visit the clinic 13 times for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their symptoms
detailed description
This is a multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled two-stage study that is to assess efficacy and safety of DMB-I (INN: Latrepirdine) in patients with Alzheimer type dementia.
The study is planned to be conducted in approximately 15 clinical sites of the Russian Federation.
At Stage 1 (comparative stage, 26 weeks), the study will examine three treatment groups. Patients in Group 1 and Group 2 will receive Akatinol Memantine® in addition to the study therapy (DMB-I or Placebo). Patients in Group 3 will receive DMB-I alone. The study is double-blind for DMB-I and Placebo; Akatinol Memantine® will not be blinded.
Patients meeting all the eligibility criteria will be randomized into one of three treatment groups:
1. DMB-I, 10 mg, 2 tablets 3 times daily + Akatinol Memantine®, 20 mg once daily - 175 patients (Group 1: DMB-I + Memantine). 2. Placebo, 2 tablets 3 times daily + Akatinol Memantine®, 20 mg once daily - 175 patients (Group 2: Placebo + Memantine). 3. DMB-I, 10 mg, 2 tablets 3 times daily - 100 patients (Group 3: DMB-I). Following completion of Stage 1, patients will continue participating in the open-label stage of the study (Stage 2) for additional 26 weeks to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of DMB-I. During this stage, patients in Group 1 (DMB-I + Memantine) will continue their study therapy unchanged. Patients in Group 2 (Placebo + Memantine) will discontinue Placebo and begin therapy with DMB-I (while continuing to take Akatinol Memantine®). Patients in Group 3 (DMB-I monotherapy) will also continue their therapy unchanged.
The total study duration for each patient is approximately 56 weeks broken down as follows:
Screening period: up to 2 weeks, Treatment period (Stage 1): 26 weeks, Treatment period (Stage 2): 26 weeks, Follow-up period: 2 weeks.
