What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline to 12 Weeks in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Amyloid Beta (Aβ)1-40 and Aβ1-42 Concentrations

    Percent change in lumbar CSF concentrations of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 from baseline at 12 weeks post-dose was calculated. The units for CSF were picograms per milliliter (pg/mL). Least Squares (LS) means of percent change in concentration from baseline was calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with baseline as a covariate and treatment as a fixed effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  2. Change From Baseline to 26 Weeks in CSF Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 Concentrations

    Percent change in lumbar CSF concentrations of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 from baseline at 26 weeks post-dose was to be calculated. The units for CSF were picograms per milliliter (pg/mL). LS means of percent change in concentration from baseline was calculated using ANCOVA with baseline as a covariate and treatment as a fixed effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change From Baseline in Plasma Amyloid Beta (Aβ)1-40 and Aβ1-42 Concentrations

    Percent change in plasma concentrations of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 from baseline at 12 weeks and 26 weeks post-dose was calculated. The units for CSF were picograms per milliliter (pg/mL).

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks, 26 weeks

  2. Change From Baseline to 26 Weeks in Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB)

    The NTB is a composite cognitive measure in clinical Alzheimer's disease studies and is a collection of several written and oral tests that examines verbal and nonverbal brain functions. NTB Z-score typically ranges from -3 to 3, with lower scores suggesting greater cognitive impairment. LS means were calculated using ANCOVA with baseline as a covariate and treatment as a fixed effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline to 26 Weeks in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog)

    ADAS-Cog11 is an 11-item instrument measuring impairment in memory (Items 1-4, 7, 11), praxis (Items 4 and 5), orientation (Item 6), and language (Items 8-10). Item 1 ranged 0 (all items recalled correctly)-10 (none recalled correctly); Items 2-5 and 8-11 ranged 0 (all items named, performed, drawn, spoken, remember correctly/clearly)-5 (none correct/not clearly spoken); Item 6 ranged 0 (no incorrect responses)-8 (all incorrect); and Item 7 ranged 0 (all words remembered correctly)-12 (no words remembered correctly) for a total ADAS-Cog11 score of 0-70 with higher scores indicating greater disease severity. A score of 0-10 for delayed free recall and a conversion code of 0-5 for digit cancellation and maze completion was added to the total ADAS-Cog11 score for a total ADAS-Cog14 score ranging 0-90 with higher scores indicating greater impairment. LS means were calculated using Mixed Model Repeated Measures (MMRM) with Treatment + Visit + Treatment*Visit + Baseline + Baseline*Visit.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks

  4. Change From Baseline to 26 Weeks in the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)

    The CDR-SB is a composite measure of 6 domains of cognitive and functional performance: memory, orientation, judgment and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care. Scores ranged from 0 to 18, with higher scores indicating greater impairment. LS means were calculated using MMRM with Treatment + Visit + Treatment*Visit + Baseline + Baseline*Visit.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks

  5. Change From Baseline to 26 Weeks in Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    The MMSE (Folstein et al. 1975) is one of the most widely used screening instruments for cognitive impairment. The test consists of five sections (orientation, registration, attention-calculation, recall, and language) and provides a total score ranging from 0 to 30, with lower scores indicative of greater cognitive impairment. LS means were calculated using MMRM with Treatment + Visit + Treatment*Visit + Baseline + Baseline*Visit.

    Measured: Baseline, 26 weeks

  6. Change From Baseline in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Tau and Phosphorylated Tau (Ptau)-181 Concentrations

    Percent change in lumbar CSF tau and ptau-181 concentrations from baseline at 12 weeks post-dose and 26 weeks post-dose was calculated. The units for CSF were picograms per milliliter (pg/mL). Least Squares (LS) means of percent change in concentration from baseline was calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with baseline as a covariate and treatment as a fixed effect.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks, 26 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing LY2886721 in people with Alzheimer's Disease, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 34 sites in 5 countries.

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 15 inclusion and 14 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 18 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 34 sites in United States, Spain, Italy, Japan, Netherlands. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 18 May 2018). 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 to 12 Weeks in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Amyloid Beta (Aβ)1-40 and Aβ1-42 Concentrations (time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 May 2018.
