Apathy in Dementia Methylphenidate Trial 2

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Apathy in Dementia Methylphenidate Trial 2 (ADMET 2) is a Phase III, placebo-controlled, masked, 6 month, multi-center randomized clinical trial sponsored by National Institutes of Aging involving 200 participants with Alzheimer's disease (AD). ADMET 2 is designed to examine the efficacy and safety of methylphenidate as treatment for clinically significant apathy in AD participants. ADMET 2 will enroll participants from real world settings such as outpatient, nursing home, and assisted living facilities and will examine the effects of methylphenidate on apathy and cognition. ADMET 2 will also conduct careful safety monitoring.

Clinical Trial Description

ADMET 2 will examine in a masked, randomized trial the efficacy of methylphenidate for the treatment of clinically significant apathy in participants with Alzheimer's dementia. Efficacy will be assessed as the change in Neuropsychiatric Inventory Apathy subscale (NPI apathy) from baseline to 6 months and score on the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) scale at 6 months. ADMET 2 will also examine the safety of methylphenidate for the treatment of clinically significant apathy in participants with Alzheimer's disease by measuring vital signs, electrolyte panels, adverse event reports, and electrocardiograms. Safety will also be measured by examining neuropsychiatric symptoms other than apathy using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). Changes from baseline to 6 months in other neuropsychological assessments as measured using the Dementia Apathy Interview and Rating (DAIR) scale will also be assessed. Cost-effectiveness will be measured by assessing quality of life and economic assessment and cognitive changes using a cognitive battery that includes the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) and other scales. A biomarker sub-study initiated part-way through the main trial will collect information on blood-based biomarkers, including microRNA, markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, neuronal loss and lipidomics. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
