Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Low Dose Whole Brain Irradiation in the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (NCT NCT02359864)

NCT ID: NCT02359864

Last Updated: 2023-01-26

Results Overview

To assess a change from baseline in adverse conditions, utilizing Common Terminology Toxicity Criteria (Version 5.0) assessing skin, eyes, ears, and central nervous system at 6 weeks post-treatment. Each condition/event will be given a score based on severity . The CTCAE displays Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each adverse event (AE): (Grade 1=1 point, Grade 2=2 points, Grade 3=3 points, Grade 4=4 points. Grade 5=5 points) and event scores added to produce a total patient score. Minimum score is zero, which represents no adverse events. Maximum score is 72. A higher score means a worse outcome. The total patient score at baseline subtracted from the total score at 6 weeks is reported. A positive number indicates an increase in adverse conditions, while a negative number indicates decreased adverse conditions.

An initial 15 patients will be enrolled in the first treatment scheme (5 daily fractions of 2 Gy) and will be followed for 12 months after completion of treatment to assess safety and any toxicity/adverse events associated with treatment. 15 patients will be enrolled and each will be followed for 12 months to assess safety and toxicity/adverse events. 5 daily fractions of 2 Gy: Whole Brain Irradiation to treat Alzheimer's Disease
Cohort Two
The second treatment arm will not be used until the last patient in the first dose arm has completed all follow up. At that point patients #16-30 will be enrolled in the second dose arm (10 daily fractions of 2 Gy). 15 patients will be enrolled and each will be followed for 12 months to assess safety and toxicity/adverse events. 10 daily fractions of 2 Gy: Whole Brain Irradiation to treat Alzheimer's Disease

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 6 weeks post-treatment

Population: No patients were enrolled in Cohort Two

To assess a change from baseline in adverse conditions, utilizing Common Terminology Toxicity Criteria (Version 5.0) assessing skin, eyes, ears, and central nervous system at 6 weeks post-treatment. Each condition/event will be given a score based on severity . The CTCAE displays Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each adverse event (AE): (Grade 1=1 point, Grade 2=2 points, Grade 3=3 points, Grade 4=4 points. Grade 5=5 points) and event scores added to produce a total patient score. Minimum score is zero, which represents no adverse events. Maximum score is 72. A higher score means a worse outcome. The total patient score at baseline subtracted from the total score at 6 weeks is reported. A positive number indicates an increase in adverse conditions, while a negative number indicates decreased adverse conditions.

Change at 6 months post-treatment from the pretreatment neurocognitive evaluation utilizing The Quality of Life in Late Stage Dementia (QUALID) tool; an 11 item assessment with each question scored on a 5 point scale completed by a patient or caregiver, where 5=poor quality of life and 1=excellent quality of life. A cumulative score from all items will be collected (min 11 indicates excellent quality of life, max 55 indicates poor quality of life) and pretreatment score subtracted from 6-month score. A positive number indicates a decreased quality of life. A negative number indicates an improved quality of life.

SUVr is a measure of the amount of radiotracer activity bound to beta amyloid plaque in an individual region of brain tissue compared to radiotracer activity in the cerebellum, which is rarely involved by neuritic plaques. An elevated ratio \>1.10 indicates a strong likelihood of significant underlying neuritic plaque burden. The percent change from baseline to 4-month scans in the frontal region is reported (percent change is calculated by subtracting baseline value from 4-month value; the result is then divided by the baseline value and multiplied by 100 to give a percentage). A positive number (percentage) indicates an increase in SUVr and more plaque burden in the frontal region, while a negative number (percentage) indicates a decrease in SUVr and a reduction in plaque burden in the frontal region.
