About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open Label, Multiple Dose, Parallel Group Investigation Of The Long-term Safety, Tolerability, Reactogenicity, Pharmacokinetics And Pharmacodynamics Of Aab-001 Administered Subcutaneously In Subjects With Mild To Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of bapineuzumab when administered by subcutaneous injection. The study is open only to subjects who participated in the preceding double-blind study (3133L1-2203 US). Subjects will receive weekly injections of bapineuzumab for 3 years (156 doses). One dosage level will be included: 5 mg/week. All subjects will receive active treatment (bapineuzumab) and no subjects will receive placebo.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Clinically Significant Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Findings

    A brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was obtained from all participants at Week 13 and quarterly thereafter. Participants were to meet the following criteria: screening brain MRI scan is consistent with the diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. Screening diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease according to National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke-Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS/ADRDA) criteria. Clinically significant MRIs were identified by the investigator. The number of participants with clinically significant MRIs are tabulated by visit and treatment group.

    Measured: Week 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, 104, 117, 130, 143, 156, Any visit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetic Parameters Including Maximal Serum Drug Concentration, Time to Maximal Serum Drug Concentration, and Terminal Half-life of Elimination

    Measured: 36 months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted9 Jun 2009 (estimated)
  2. Study startJun 2009
  3. Primary completionSep 2012
  4. Study completionSep 2012

Why it stopped: The study was terminated on August 6, 2012, because 2 large Phase 3 studies showed no clinical benefit. This decision was not based on any new safety concerns.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bapineuzumab in people with Alzheimer Disease, run by Pfizer at 16 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Jun 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Reporting Clinically Significant Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Findings (time frame: Week 13, 26, 39, 52, 65, 78, 91, 104, 117, 130, 143, 156, Any visit). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2017.
