Tests treatment safety and results for Psychosis Associated With Alzheimer's Disease
Official title A Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of ML-007C-MA for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease Psychosis
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06887192
What this study is testing
What is ML-007C-MA?
ML-007C-MA is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for psychosis associated with alzheimer's disease.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- ML-007C-MA-221 is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ML-007C-MA in male and female participants aged 55 to 90 years with hallucinations and delusions associated with Alzheimer's Disease Psychosis (ADP). The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of ML-007C-MA compared with placebo for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with ADP as measured by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician (NPI-C): Hallucinations and Delusions (H+D) score.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
