About this study

Official title: An Open-label Study of Nelotanserin in Patients With Lewy Body Dementia Who Have Frequent Visual Hallucinations or REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

This study seeks to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of nelotanserin for the treatment of visual hallucinations (VHs) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) in subjects with Lewy body dementia (LBD).

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center open-label, long-term study in LBD subjects with RBD and/or VHs. Eligible subjects who completed a previous nelotanserin VH or RBD study and choose to participate in this open-label study will receive 20, 40, 60, or 80 mg nelotanserin once daily for 24 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Long-term safety and tolerability will be evaluated based on incidence of adverse events (AEs) and significant changes in physical examinations, vital signs, ECGs, and clinical laboratory assessments over time during treatment.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Long-term effectiveness will be evaluated based on change in the frequency and severity of visual hallucinations (as recorded by patient's caregiver) and/or REM sleep behaviors (based on a clinical evaluator) over time during treatment.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Long-term safety and tolerability will be evaluated based on incidence of adverse events (AEs) and significant changes in physical examinations, vital signs, ECGs, and clinical laboratory assessments over time during treatment. (time frame: 24 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?
