About this study

Official title: Multicenter Randomized Double-blind Placebo-controlled Active Comparator-controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of DMB-I (Dimebon®, INN: Latrepirdine) in Patients With Dementia Associated With Alzheimer's Disease

The goal of this clinical study is to learn if the study drug DMB-I (INN: Latrepirdine) works to treat Alzheimer type dementia in adults. It will also learn about the safety of DMB-I (INN: Latrepirdine).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Read more
  • Does DMB-I improve cognitive functions in patients with dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease, and how sigificant the improvement is?
  • What medical problems do participants have when taking DMB-I? Researchers will compare DMB-I to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if the study drug works to treat Alzheimer type dementia.
  • Is DMB-I effective and safe when taken long-term?

Participants will:

Take the study drug or a placebo (with or without Akatinol Memantine®) every day for 26 weeks at Stage 1 of the study, and take the study drug (with or without Akatinol Memantine®) every day for 26 weeks at Stage 2 of the study.

Visit the clinic 13 times for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their symptoms

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled two-stage study that is to assess efficacy and safety of DMB-I (INN: Latrepirdine) in patients with Alzheimer type dementia.

The study is planned to be conducted in approximately 15 clinical sites of the Russian Federation.

At Stage 1 (comparative stage, 26 weeks), the study will examine three treatment groups. Patients in Group 1 and Group 2 will receive Akatinol Memantine® in addition to the study therapy (DMB-I or Placebo). Patients in Group 3 will receive DMB-I alone. The study is double-blind for DMB-I and Placebo; Akatinol Memantine® will not be blinded.

Patients meeting all the eligibility criteria will be randomized into one of three treatment groups:

  1. DMB-I, 10 mg, 2 tablets 3 times daily + Akatinol Memantine®, 20 mg once daily - 175 patients (Group 1: DMB-I + Memantine).
  2. Placebo, 2 tablets 3 times daily + Akatinol Memantine®, 20 mg once daily - 175 patients (Group 2: Placebo + Memantine).
  3. DMB-I, 10 mg, 2 tablets 3 times daily - 100 patients (Group 3: DMB-I). Following completion of Stage 1, patients will continue participating in the open-label stage of the study (Stage 2) for additional 26 weeks to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of DMB-I. During this stage, patients in Group 1 (DMB-I + Memantine) will continue their study therapy unchanged. Patients in Group 2 (Placebo + Memantine) will discontinue Placebo and begin therapy with DMB-I (while continuing to take Akatinol Memantine®). Patients in Group 3 (DMB-I monotherapy) will also continue their therapy unchanged.

The total study duration for each patient is approximately 56 weeks broken down as follows:

Screening period: up to 2 weeks, Treatment period (Stage 1): 26 weeks, Treatment period (Stage 2): 26 weeks, Follow-up period: 2 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of the change in ADAS-Cog Scale overall score at Week 26 compared to baseline (Week 0) in patients receiving DMB-I (Group 1) Vs. patients receiving placebo (Group 2)

    ADAS-Cog Scale consists of 12 questions. The scale's minimum score - 0, maximum score - 88, where the higher score means the worse outcome

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) Vs. Week 26

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assessment of the change in ADAS-Cog Scale overall score at Week 26 compared to baseline (Week 0) in patients receiving DMB-I (Group 3) Vs. patients receiving placebo (Group 2)

    ADAS-Cog Scale consists of 12 questions. The scale's minimum score - 0, maximum score - 88, where the higher score means the worse outcome

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) Vs. Week 26

  2. Change in ADAS-Cog Scale overall score at Week 4, Week 12, Week 26, Week 30, Week 38, and Week 52 compared to baseline (Week 0) across all treatment groups

    ADAS-Cog Scale consists of 12 questions. The scale's minimum score - 0, maximum score - 88, where the higher score means the worse outcome

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) Vs. Week 4, Week 12, Week 26, Week 30, Week 38, Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DMB-I (INN: Latrepirdine) and Memantine Hydrochloride 20 MG in people with Alzheimer Type Dementia, run by Bigespas LTD at 12 sites in Russia.

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 18 inclusion and 24 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 10 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Russia. 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 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 Anna Rashina (+74952761143, aar@ipharma.ru), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assessment of the change in ADAS-Cog Scale overall score at Week 26 compared to baseline (Week 0) in patients receiving DMB-I (Group 1) Vs. patients receiving placebo (Group 2) (time frame: Baseline (Week 0) Vs. Week 26). 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 10 Dec 2025.
