A Phase 3 Efficacy Study Of Dimebon In Patients With Moderate To Severe Alzheimer's Disease - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Pfizer
Collaborator:	Medivation, Inc.
Information provided by:	Pfizer
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00912288

Purpose

No Dimebon clinical data exist yet in patients with disease that has advanced to the moderate-to-severe stage. Therefore, this study evaluates the safety and efficacy of Dimebon in patients with moderate-to-severe AD who are receiving existing background therapy with memantine.

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Alzheimer Disease	Drug: Dimebon 20 mg po TID Drug: Placebo po TID	Phase III

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator) Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title:	A Phase 3, Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled 26-Week Trial To Evaluate The Efficacy And Safety Of Dimebon In Patients With Moderate-To-Severe Alzheimer's Disease

Safety and Tolerability including adverse events and summary of clinically important changes in clinical safety laboratory assessments, electrocardiograms, and vital signs [ Time Frame: 26 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment:	576
Study Start Date:	September 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date:	November 2011
Primary Completion Date:	August 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Dimebon: Experimental	Drug: Dimebon 20 mg po TID Dimebon 10 mg po TID for 1 week followed by Dimebon 20 mg TID for 25 weeks
Placebo: Placebo Comparator	Drug: Placebo po TID Placebo (matched to Dimebon) po for 26 weeks

Detailed Description:

This study was terminated on May 7, 2010 due to modification of the dimebon development plan following the lack of demonstration of efficacy in the completed DIM14 (CONNECTION) Study. The study was not terminated due to any safety findings. Dimebon has been well-tolerated in clinical trials. Demonstration of efficacy for dimebon in Alzheimer's disease is pending completion of the ongoing DIM18 (CONCERT) Study.
