Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Treatment of disinhibition syndrome in participants with Neurodegenerative Disorder.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eligible participants for this study must have a diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Disorder and must exhibit disinhibition syndrome of sufficient severity to warrant treatment.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study consisting of two 6-week treatment periods.

Approximately 12 participants will be enrolled at approximately 2 centers in the United States.

Following screening procedures for assessment of inclusion and exclusion criteria, eligible participants will be randomized into the study.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Documented diagnosis of a Neurodegenerative Disorder including frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DBL), vascular cognitive disorders, or Huntington's disease, at least 3 months prior to Baseline
* The participant has behavior from 2 of the 3 categories of disinhibited behavior from the definition of the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia
* The behavioral changes are not due to a pre-existing major psychiatric disorder (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disease, etc.) and are not due to the direct effect of systemic illness, drug action, or substance use
* Disinhibition scale score of ≥4 on the 3 core disinhibition items of the Frontal Behavioral Inventory (FBI) at Screening and Baseline

Exclusion Criteria

* Participants with symptoms of disinhibition that is not secondary to Neurodegenerative Disorders
* Participants with myasthenia gravis
* Participants with co-existent clinically significant or unstable systemic diseases that could confound the interpretation of the safety results of the study (e.g., malignancy \[except skin basal-cell carcinoma or untreated prostate cancer\], poorly controlled diabetes, poorly controlled hypertension, unstable pulmonary, renal or hepatic disease, unstable ischemic cardiac disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, or unstable valvular heart disease)
