Clinical Trial Summary

This ongoing study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tianzhi granule in mild to moderate vascular dementia in a more reasonable design.


Description:

This study is a 24-weeks, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double- placebo, parallel controlled phase III trial being carried out in 23 centers around China. The study population includes mild to moderate VaD patients (planned a total of 630) aged 45-85 in both gender. Participants will be randomly allocated to TZK (15g/d) and placebo identified to donepezil, donepezil (5mg/d) and placebo identified to TZK, or placebo identified to TZK and placebo identified to donepezil for a 24-weeks double-blind treatment period . The primary outcome measure is change from baseline in the Vascular Dementia Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale and Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change-Plus carer Interview. The secondary outcomes are changes from baseline in the Mini-Mental State Examination, Activity of Daily Living Scale, Clock Drawing Test, Trail Making Test and Neuropsychiatric Inventory. Safety is being assessed by observing side effects and adverse reaction during the entire treatment period. Statistical analysis will be conducted according to per-protocol population and intend-to-treat population and the safety will be analyzed in safety set.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Changes of Vascular Dementia Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale(VADAS-cog) from baseline after 24 weeks' intervention Cognition : VaDAS-cog is a revision of the ADAS-cog to be a better measure in vascular conditions. The original ADAS-cog developed by Rosen et al., measures cognitive performance by combining ratings of 11 items. The cognitive domains mainly addressed by ADAS-cog are memory (short term), language, ability to orientate (reflects memory), construction/planning of simple designs and performance. In addition to ADAS-cog, the VaDAS-cog comprises additional frontal lobe tests reflecting attention, working memory, executive function, and verbal fluency.The VADAS-cog will conducted at baseline, 4weeks, 12weeks, 24weeks week 0, 4, 12, 24
Primary Changes of Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change-Plus carer Interview(CIBIC-plus) from baseline after 24 weeks' intervention Overall clinical response: CIBIC-plus is a 7-point scale which provides an index of clinically important change for dementia patients. It is a global measure of detectable change in concentration, orientation, memory, language, behavior, initiative and activities of daily living, usually requiring separate interviews with patients and caregivers,the CIBIC-plus will be conducted at baseline, 4weeks, 12weeks, 24weeks week 0, 4, 12, 24
Secondary Changes of Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE) from baseline after 24 weeks' treatment Global cognition will be assessed by the MMSE,which will be conducted at baseline, 4weeks, 12weeks, 24weeks. week 0, 4, 12, 24
Secondary Changes of Activity of Daily Living Scale(ADL) from baseline after 24 week's intervention Function:The ADL mainly used to measure the basic activities of daily living (or self-care) and the instrumental activities of daily living. The ADL scale can be divided to Physical Self-Maintenance Scale (PSMS) and the instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). The PSMS relate to physical activities, such as toileting, mobility, dressing and bathing , and the IADL contains 8 items ,such as shopping, cooking, doing laundry, handling finances, using telephone, mode of transportation, responsibility for own medication and housekeeping.The ADL wil be conducted baseline, 4weeks, 12weeks, 24weeks week 0, 4, 12, 24
Secondary Changes of Clock Drawing Test(CDT) from baseline after 24 week's intervention Executive function and Visuospatial function : the CDT scale will be conducted at baseline, 4weeks, 12weeks, 24weeks. week 0, 4, 12, 24
Secondary Changes of Trail Making Test (TMT) from baseline after 24 week's intervention Executive function: The TMT scale will be conducted at baseline, 4weeks, 12weeks, 24weeks. week 0, 4, 12, 24
Secondary Changes of Neuropsychiatric Inventory(NPI) from baseline after 24 weeks' intervention Changes in psychological symptom: NPI is used throughout the study to assess changes in psychological symptom,the NPI will be conducted at baseline, 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks. week 0, 4, 12, 24
