Study of ITI-1284 to Treat Agitation in Alzheimers Dementia Patients Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 2 Trial Using Daily Sublingual Tablets

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating ITI-1284, a drug being studied for agitation associated with Alzheimers dementia. This Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ITI-1284 in patients aged 55 years and older who experience agitation related to Alzheimers disease. The study is sponsored by Intra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. and follows strict clinical criteria for diagnosis and agitation severity. Participants are randomly assigned in equal numbers to receive either ITI-1284 or a placebo. ITI-1284 is given as a rapidly disintegrating tablet taken once daily under the tongue at doses of 10 mg or 20 mg. The study consists of three periods a screening period lasting up to 4 weeks to assess eligibility, a 12-week double-blind treatment period where the assigned study drug is taken daily, and a 30-day safety follow-up period after the last dose to monitor any effects. During the study, participants will have assessments including the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory CMAI to measure agitation levels at Week 12. Other evaluations include the Clinical Global Impression-Severity CGI-S score and cognitive testing with the Mini-Mental State Examination. Safety monitoring occurs throughout the treatment and follow-up periods. Overall, participation lasts approximately 16 to 17 weeks, covering screening, treatment, and safety checks.
