About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Twice Daily TMBCZG in Mild to Moderate Vascular Dementia: Randomized, Double Blind, Parallel Group, Placebo Controlled, Multicenter Trial

The study will be a 24-week multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase Ⅱa trial with 4 treatment arms in China. Participants aged 55-80 years will be randomized to TMBCZG-high dose(84mg per day), TMBCZG- medium dose(56mg per day), TMBCZG- low dose(28mg per day) or to placebo. The primary endpoint will be VADAS-Cog and CDR-SB. Secondary outcomes included changes in MMSE and ADL. Patients' safety will be assessed by recording of adverse events, clinical examinations, electrocardiography and laboratory tests. The patients, caregivers, and investigators will be blinded to the treatment allocations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TMBCZG in people with Vascular Dementia, run by Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing at 1 site in China.

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 11 inclusion and 15 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 2 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Vascular Dementia Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale(VADAS-Cog) (time frame: baseline, 4-week, 12-week, 24-week and 28-week.). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03230071, 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 2 Mar 2021.
