Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of an oral medication, IGC-AD1 that is a natural THC-based (Tetrahydrocannabinol) formulation, administered in micro doses, twice a day, on symptomatological Agitation, in patients with mild to severe dementia from Alzheimer's.


Description:

This is a placebo-controlled, multi-site, parallel, double blind, randomized study. Enrollment is open for Participants ages 60 and above with mild to severe dementia due to Alzheimer's Disease, with established symptomatological Agitation, for a minimum of two weeks prior to enrollment, with Agitation due to other etiologies, or recent, or transient Agitation symptoms ruled out. Clinical Agitation is established with a baseline NPI-12 (Agitation Domain only) score ≥ 4 as well as meeting the IPA criteria for Agitation. The medication is titrated to BID over two days and down over two days at End of Trial (EOT). Caregivers will monitor and record in a logbook vitals daily using Sponsor provided scales and logbook. Safety will be monitored with daily calls to the Participant/Caregiver dyad for the first four days followed by calls every third day till EOT. Week two is an on-site visit with week-four being optional. Both solicited AEs and non-solicited AEs will be monitored, assessed, graded, and tabulated. Solicited AEs include the following: somnolence, falls, dizziness, asthenia, nausea, suicidal ideation, tachycardia, bradycardia, hypertension and hypotension, and BMI. The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of IGC-AD1 on Agitation as scored by the CMAI between baseline and EOT with the secondary objective being acute efficacy as measured by the CMAI between baseline and week two. There are several exploratory objectives included elsewhere. The trial will also have blood draws for sparse Pharmacokinetics (PK).

NPI (Agitation) = 4 2. The presence of clinically significant, persistent Agitation based on the IPA definition (Appendix C) rather than those with recent onset and occasional symptoms, and 3. Agitation not attributable to another psychiatric disorder, suboptimal care conditions, other underlining medical condition, or the physiological effects of a substance. 8. Negative drug screen, except for benzodiazepines if Participant has been using them in stable doses for at least 3 months before screening. 9. All medications used for behavioral symptoms should be consistent for at least 3 months before screening, with allowance for dose changes up to 25%. 10. Women must be of no childbearing potential (postmenopausal, defined as cessation of menses for at least 12 months, without an alternative medical cause for amenorrhea) or surgically sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation)). An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: Exclusion Criteria 1. Prior adverse reaction to cannabinoids or to any component of Study Drug (IGC-AD1 and placebo): THC, melatonin, honey, curcumin, ethyl alcohol, vitamin-E TPGS, ascorbic acid, water, tween-80, and rutin. 2. Serious or unstable medical illness, including cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, respiratory, endocrine, neurologic, or hematologic disease, which might confound assessment of safety outcomes. 3. History of seizures, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder. 4. Has participated in an investigational drug or device study within 30 days prior to study start. 5. Urine drug screen positive for drug use, except for benzodiazepines if Participant was using them previously and their dose had remained stable for at least 3 months before screening. 6. History of Alcohol and Drug use disorder, within one year prior to enrollment. 7. Hypertension: Participants with a history of uncontrolled hypertension as determined by the PI and Participants with a hypertensive crisis in the six months prior to enrollment. 8. Falls: Participants with a history of recurrent falls defined as more than two falls in the six-month period prior to enrollment and a history of falls resulting in injuries or associated with a new acute illness, loss of consciousness, fever, or abnormal blood pressure (Fuller et al., 2000).
