About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Flexible-dose Study of the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of ITI-1284 in Patients With Agitation Associated With Alzheimer's Dementia
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, flexible-dose study of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ITI-1284 in patients with agitation associated with Alzheimer's dementia.
- Being tested
- ITI-1284, Placebo
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ITI-1284Drug
ITI-1284 10 mg or 20 mg rapidly disintegrating tablet, taken once daily, sublingual administration
PlaceboDrug
Placebo rapidly disintegrating tablet, taken once daily, sublingual administration
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| ITI-1284 | Experimental | ITI-1284 10 mg or 20 mg rapidly disintegrating tablet, taken once daily, sublingual administration Receives: Drug: ITI-1284 |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Placebo rapidly disintegrating tablet, taken once daily, sublingual administration Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) total score
The CMAI is a reliable and validated, 29-item caregiver-rating questionnaire to assess agitated behavior in elderly patients. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale of frequency, from "never" (1) to "several times an hour" (7), with 1 being the "best" rating and 7 being the "worst" rating. The minimum possible CMAI total score is 29, and the maximum possible CMAI total score is 203.
Measured: Week 12
Secondary outcomes (1)
Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score
The CGI-S is a clinician-rated scale to assess a patient's overall mental health. The scale ranges from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients)
Measured: Week 12

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing ITI-1284 in people with Agitation Associated With Alzheimer's Dementia, run by Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. at 71 sites in 8 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 8 inclusion and 7 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 3 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 71 sites in United States, Bulgaria, Czechia, Romania, Slovakia and 3 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 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?
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 Study Contact (844-434-4210, Participate-In-This-Study1@its.jnj.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) total score (time frame: Week 12). 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 3 Nov 2026.
