Clinical Trial Summary

Study purpose: - evaluate safety and clinical efficacy of Prospecta in the treatment of cognitive, behavioural and psychiatric disorders in patients with vascular dementia. Study objectives: - evaluate and compare changes in cognitive functions and in behavioural and psychiatric dementia symptoms in Prospecta and Placebo groups after 24-week therapy: - evaluate and compare the frequency, severity and causal relationship of adverse events (AEs) with the type of therapy in Prospecta and Placebo groups (including central nervous system AEs during therapy, their relationship with the product and other characteristics).

Description:

Design: a multicenter double blind placebo-controlled parallel-group randomized clinical trial. The study will enroll male and female subjects aged 60-85 years diagnosed with vascular dementia (verified at Visit 1 and diagnosed according to the criteria of The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke-Association Internationale pour la Recherche et l'Enseignement en Neurosciences - NINDS-AIREN). Severity of vascular dementia should be moderate or mild (10-24 points according to Mini-Mental State Examination - MMSE), without signs of depression (total Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD) score ≤10). After signing patient information sheet (informed consent form), investigator will collect complaints and medical history, perform objective examination, record vital signs (blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR)) and evaluate the compliance of the subject's diagnosis with NINDS-AIREN vascular criteria of dementia (Visit 1; from day -14 to day 1). The investigator will assess cognitive disorders using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Сognitive Assessment (МоСА). The investigator will fill the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Сlinician (NPI-С), and СSDD scales. The subject will undergo brain MRI (unless brain MRI was held within the last 12 months prior to enrollment are available). Concomitant therapy and concurrent diseases and conditions will be recorded. If subject met inclusion criteria, he/she will be randomized to one of the two groups: group 1 will receive Prospecta 2 tablets twice daily; group 2 will receive Placebo using the study drug dosing regimen. Treatment duration will be 24 weeks during which 6 Visits will be made. At visits 2 and 3 (week 4±3 days and week 8±3 days) the investigator will make a phone call and collect the complaints, monitor the prescribed and concomitant therapy, evaluate therapeutic safety. At visit 4 (week 12±7 days) the investigator will collect complaints, record objective examination findings and vital signs, monitor the prescribed and concomitant therapy, evaluate therapeutic safety and compliance, issue the study product until the next visit. The investigator will fill MoCA and NPI-C. At visits 5 and 6 (week 16±3 days and week 20±3 days) the investigator will make a phone call and collect the complaints, monitor the prescribed and concomitant therapy, evaluate therapeutic safety. At visit 7 (week 24±7 days) the investigator will collect complaints, perform objective examination, record vital signs, monitor the prescribed and concomitant therapy, evaluate therapeutic safety, evaluate compliance. The investigator will fill MоСА and Clinical Global Impression Efficacy Index (CGI-EI). The investigator will fill NPI-C. During the study the treatment for underlying medical conditions will be allowed with the exception of the drugs indicated in the section "Prohibited concomitant therapy".
