What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Total Sleep Time (TST) After 4 Weeks of Treatment, Based on PSG Measurement.

    Total sleep time (TST) is defined as the total time in minutes, that subjects were determined to be in a sleep state by polysomnography (PSG) measurement.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 4.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change From Baseline in Sleep Efficiency After 4 Weeks of Treatment, Based on PSG Measurements.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 4.

  2. Change From Baseline in Latency to Persistent Sleep After 4 Weeks of Treatment, Based on PSG Measurements.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 4.

  3. Change From Baseline in Night Total Sleep Time After 4 Weeks of Treatment, Based on Actigraphy Recording.

    Change from baseline in night total sleep time after 4 weeks of treatment: assessed if valid baseline and week 4 actigraphy data

    Measured: Baseline and Week 4.

  4. Change From Baseline in Latency of Persistent Sleep After 4 Weeks of Treatment, Based on Actigraphy Recording.

    Change from baseline in latency of persistent sleep after 4 weeks of treatment, based on participants with valid baseline and week 4 actigraphy data

    Measured: Baseline and Week 4.

  5. Change From Baseline in Sleep Efficiency After 4 Weeks of Treatment, Based on Actigraphy Recording.

    Change from baseline in sleep efficiency after 4 weeks of treatment, based on participants with valid baseline and week 4 actigraphy data

    Measured: Baseline and Week 4.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD5213 in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Mild Alzheimer's Disease, run by AstraZeneca at 13 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 5 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 5 Dec 2016). 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?

Change From Baseline in Total Sleep Time (TST) After 4 Weeks of Treatment, Based on PSG Measurement. (time frame: Baseline and Week 4.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01548287, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Feb 2017.
