Alzheimer's Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Impact of Icosapent Ethyl on Alzheimers Disease Biomarkers in Preclinical Adults
The number of Americans diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is expected to triple by 2050. Compared to the general population, Veterans have a greater risk of AD, likely in part due to their increased incidence of traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and other vascular-related health issues. Based on available data, 423,000 new cases of AD are anticipated in Veterans by 2020. Thus, the discovery of effective therapies to prevent or delay the onset of AD in Veterans is critical. The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a purified form of the omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) called icosapent ethyl (IPE), on improving brain blood flow, spinal fluid markers of AD pathology, and cognitive performance in middle-aged, cognitively-healthy Veterans with increased risk of AD. If IPE delays the onset of AD by even 5 years, the incidence of AD would be reduced by 50% in this population and could have a profound effect on Veteran quality of life and healthcare costs.
The proposed study is a proof-of-concept, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial assessing the efficacy of 18 months of icosapent ethyl (IPE) therapy on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and cognitive biomarkers for AD in 150 cognitively-healthy Veterans ages 50-75 years. The overarching goal of this trial is to assess whether icosapent ethyl beneficially affects intermediate physiological measures associated with onset of AD in order to evaluate whether larger, multi-site, longer-duration Alzheimer's prevention trials are warranted to assess more definitive clinical outcomes. The proposed study aims to: 1) investigate the effects of 18 months of IPE vs. placebo on regional cerebral blood flow as measured by arterial spin-labeling MRI; 2) determine the impact of 18 months of IPE vs. placebo on CSF biomarkers of AD pathology; and 3) evaluate the effects of 18 months of IPE vs. placebo on cognitive performance. ;
