About this study
Official title: A Master Protocol for Three Independent, Seamlessly Enrolling, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Efficacy and Safety Studies of ACP-204 in Adults With Alzheimer's Disease Psychosis
This is a master protocol for 3 independent, seamlessly enrolling, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies in patients with ADP
- Substudy 1 (Phase 2) will evaluate efficacy and dose response of ACP-204 30 and 60 mg vs placebo. This substudy will be initiated first.
- Substudies 2A and 2B (both: Phase 3) will be confirmatory studies of either both doses (ACP-204 30 and 60 mg, respectively) or a single dose from Part 1 vs placebo. Substudies 2A and 2B will be performed independently of each other and will commence after enrollment of Part 1.

All 3 substudies will be analyzed independently of each other.
Each substudy individually will consist of a screening period (up to 49 days); a double-blind treatment period (6 weeks); a safety follow-up period (30 days) for patients not rolling over into an open-label extension study; and vital status follow-up (for patients who terminated their substudy early).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ACP-204Drug
ACP-204 is a potent and selective antagonist/inverse agonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) receptor subtype 2A.
PlaceboDrug
ACP-204 matching placebo
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| ACP-204 30 mg | Experimental | Administration once daily at approximately the same time of day, with or without food Receives: Drug: ACP-204 |
| ACP-204 60 mg | Experimental | Administration once daily at approximately the same time of day, with or without food Receives: Drug: ACP-204 |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Administration once daily at approximately the same time of day, with or without food Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms-Hallucinations and Delusions subscales (SAPS-H+D) total score change from baseline (Substudies 1, 2A, 2B)
The SAPS-H+D subscales are a measure of two psychotic symptoms: hallucinations and delusions. The SAPS-H+D total score is the sum of the scores of the Hallucinations and Delusions subscales. The hallucinations domain score (SAPS-H) is the sum of the 7 hallucinations item scores, and the delusions domain core (SAPS-D) is the sum of the 13 delusions item scores.
Measured: From baseline to Week 6
Secondary outcomes (1)
Clinical Global Impression-Severity in the ADP context (CGI-S-ADP) score
The CGI-S scale is a clinician-rated, 7-point scale that is designed to rate the severity of the subject's symptoms at the time of assessment using the Investigator's judgment and past experience with subjects who have the same disorder. The CGI-S-ADP scale is the CGI-S scale applied in the ADP context, in which hallucinations and delusions are the symptoms of interest.
Measured: Baseline to Week 6

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a master protocol for 3 independent, seamlessly enrolling, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies in patients with ADP
- Substudy 1 (Phase 2) will evaluate efficacy and dose response of ACP-204 30 and 60 mg vs placebo. This substudy will be initiated first.
- Substudies 2A and 2B (both: Phase 3) will be confirmatory studies of either both doses (ACP-204 30 and 60 mg, respectively) or a single dose from Part 1 vs placebo. Substudies 2A and 2B will be performed independently of each other and will commence after enrollment of Part 1.
All 3 substudies will be analyzed independently of each other.
Each substudy individually will consist of a screening period (up to 49 days); a double-blind treatment period (6 weeks); a safety follow-up period (30 days) for patients not rolling over into an open-label extension study; and vital status follow-up (for patients who terminated their substudy early).

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 10 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 155 sites in United States, Brazil, Serbia, Bulgaria, France and 7 more countries. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Christine Murphy (858-465-7480, cmurphy@acadia-pharm.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms-Hallucinations and Delusions subscales (SAPS-H+D) total score change from baseline (Substudies 1, 2A, 2B) (time frame: From baseline to Week 6). 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 5 Nov 2026.
