Trial Outcomes & Findings for Tetra PICASSO AD Trial: Study to Evaluate Effects of BPN14770 in Early Alzheimer's Subjects (NCT NCT03817684)

NCT ID: NCT03817684

Last Updated: 2025-02-18

Results Overview

The RBANS is a brief, individually administered test measuring attention, language, visuospatial/constructional abilities, and immediate and delayed memory. It consists of 12 subtests, which yield 5 Index scores and a Total Scale score. Lower scores indicate worse performance on the test (and thus greater impairment). Scores for the RBANS DMI range from 40 (greater impairment) to 160 (improved function), with higher scores indicating improved function.

The ADCS-ADL is an interviewer-administered informant-based scale where the informant (caregiver) responds to 23 activities of daily living questions about the participant. The questions range from basic to instrumental activities of daily living. The total score ranges from 0-78 and a higher score signifies greater functional ability.

The MMSE consists of 11 items covering orientation, memory (recent and immediate), concentration, language and praxis. Total score ranges from 0 (severe cognitive impairment) to 30 (intact cognitive function), with lower scores indicating greater cognitive impairment. In participants with a diagnosis of AD, lower scores indicating worse disease. A score of 20 to 24 suggests mild dementia, 13 to 20 suggests moderate dementia, and less than 12 indicates severe dementia.

The CDR was developed primarily to assess severity level in persons with dementia. Six domains were assessed and then synthesized to assign a Global CDR score. The domains were memory, orientation, judgment and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care. Impairment was defined only when caused by cognitive loss rather than by physical disability or other non-cognitive factors. CDR is an ordinal parameter (scale 0 \[least impairment\]-3 \[severe impairment\]). CDR-SB score was obtained by summing each of the domain box scores, with scores ranging from 0 (least impairment) to 18 (severe impairment).

The CGI-I employs a 7-point Likert scale to measure the overall improvement in the participant's condition post-treatment. The Investigator rated the participant's total improvement whether or not it was due entirely to drug treatment. Response choices included: 0=not assessed, 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, and 7=very much worse.
