Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GV1001 administered subcutaneously in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease (AD).


Clinical Trial Description

Studies using in vivo and in vitro Alzheimer's Disease (AD) models have shown that GV1001 inhibits neurotoxicity, apoptosis, and the production of reactive oxygen species induced by amyloid beta (Aβ) in neural stem cells by mimicking the extra-telomeric functions of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). In nonclinical studies, using both mild (early stage) and severe (late stage) AD mouse models, GV1001 was shown to improve cognitive function and memory, as well as significantly reduce the amount of Aβ and tau proteins. The multifunctional effect of GV1001 makes it a promising therapeutic option for the treatment for AD. In a completed Phase 2 study (NCT03184467) conducted in Korea, GV1001 showed significant improvement in change from baseline of Severe Impairment Battery score at Week 24 and demonstrated a clinically acceptable safety profile in patients with moderate to severe AD. This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel design, prospective phase 3 study in participants with moderate to severe AD. The study consists of 24 weeks of Double-blind phase and 25 weeks of open-label phase. ;
