Trial Outcomes & Findings for Multiple Ascending Dose Safety, Tolerability, PK Study of AL001 in Alzheimer's Disease Patients & Healthy Adult Subjects (NCT NCT05363293)

NCT ID: NCT05363293

Last Updated: 2025-05-14

Results Overview

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AL001 in healthy subjects and patients with adverse event(s), AD, descriptive statistics will be presented by treatment group for each cohort and overall, for the following: Proportion of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) * Proportion of participants with serious AEs * Proportion of participants with TEAEs that lead to premature discontinuation * Proportion of participants with abnormal values for each safety laboratory test (change from baseline) * Proportion of participants with abnormal values for each Electrocardiogram (ECG) parameter (change from baseline in standard 12-lead ECG parameters) For all analyses, placebo-treated subjects from each Cohort were combined (pooled) to provide a composite placebo group for all comparisons. Adverse event profiles for all treated subjects were benign as were placebo-treated subjects. No further statistical analyses were therefore appropriate.

Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 - Cohort 1
AD-only participants (no normal healthy subjects) were randomized to receive AL001. When adequate safety data were available, a review was done for all participants to make a dose-escalation or dose and/or regimen modification decision. This was repeated for each cohort. A total of 8 cohorts received 5 different dose levels of AL001 in multiple ascending doses under fasted conditions up to tolerability/safety limits. Cohort 1 included 6 AD subjects only (7 were randomized because 1 subject voluntarily withdrew before dosing); 6 active AD subjects (as per randomization code) received the following treatment or placebo: • Cohort 1: 60% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (1890 mg AL001 daily ×14 days, given as 3 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID) AL 001: a crystal engineered lithium-salicylate-proline lithium delivery product.
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 - Cohort 2a
The data from the previous cohort were deemed safe before the next sequential cohort was enrolled and dosing initiated. Cohort 2a (6 healthy subjects - 3 non-elderly adults and 3 elderly adults). Blinded results from Cohort 2a were reviewed by the safety review committee before Cohort 2b was randomized. Per randomization, there were 6 active subjects in each cohort: • Cohort 2a: 100% 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (3150 mg AL001 daily × 14 days, given as 5 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID). AL 001: a crystal engineered lithium-salicylate-proline lithium delivery product.
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 - Cohort 2b
The data from the previous cohort were deemed safe before the next sequential cohort was enrolled and dosing initiated. Cohort 2b (6 AD subjects). Blinded results from Cohort 2a were reviewed by the safety review committee before Cohort 2b was randomized. Per randomization, there were 6 active subjects in each cohort: • Cohort 2b: 100% 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (3150 mg AL001 daily × 14 days, given as 5 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID). AL 001: a crystal engineered lithium-salicylate-proline lithium delivery product.
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 - Cohort 3a
The data from the previous cohort were deemed safe before the next sequential cohort was enrolled and dosing initiated. Cohort 3a (6 healthy subjects - 3 non-elderly adults and 3 elderly adults). Blinded results from Cohort 3a were reviewed by the safety review committee before Cohort 3b was randomized. Per randomization, there were 6 active subjects in each cohort: • Cohort 3a: 140% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (4410 mg AL001 daily × 14 days, given as 7 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID) AL 001: a crystal engineered lithium-salicylate-proline lithium delivery product.
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 - Cohort 3b
The data from the previous cohort were deemed safe before the next sequential cohort was enrolled and dosing initiated. Cohort 3b (6 AD subjects). Blinded results from Cohort 3a were reviewed by the safety review committee before Cohort 3b was randomized. Per randomization, there were 6 active subjects in each cohort: • Cohort 3b: 140% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (4410 mg AL001 daily × 14 days, given as 7 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID) AL 001: a crystal engineered lithium-salicylate-proline lithium delivery product.
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 - Cohort 4a
The data from the previous cohort were deemed safe before the next sequential cohort was enrolled and dosing initiated. Cohort 4a (6 healthy subjects - 3 non-elderly adults and 3 elderly adults). Blinded results from Cohort 4a were reviewed by the safety review committee before Cohort 4b was randomized. Per randomization, there were 6 active subjects in each cohort: • Cohort 4a: 160% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (5040 mg AL001 daily × 14 days, given as 8 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID) AL 001: a crystal engineered lithium-salicylate-proline lithium delivery product.
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 - Cohort 4b
The data from the previous cohort were deemed safe before the next sequential cohort was enrolled and dosing initiated. Cohort 4b (6 AD subjects). Blinded results from Cohort 4a were reviewed by the safety review committee before Cohort 4b was randomized. Per randomization, there were 6 active subjects in each cohort: • Cohort 4b: 160% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (5040 mg AL001 daily × 14 days, given as 8 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID) AL 001: a crystal engineered lithium-salicylate-proline lithium delivery product.
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 - Cohort 5a
The data from the previous cohort were deemed safe before the next sequential cohort was enrolled and dosing initiated. Cohort 5 was planned to be divided into 2 sub-cohorts: Cohort 5a (6 healthy subjects - 3 non-elderly adults and 3 elderly adults) and Cohort 5b (8 AD subjects). Per randomization, there were 6 active normal healthy subjects in cohort 5a. Stopping rules were invoked by the Safety Committee due to the pharmacokinetic results of Cohort 5a. The Stopping Rules were not invoked due to any adverse event. The stopping criteria were modest increases in plasma levels of lithium and salicylate above what is reported in the literature as the maximum therapeutic range concentrations. • Cohort 5a: 200% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (6300 mg AL001 daily × 14 days - lithium dose equivalent to that used for bipolar/affective disorders, given as 10 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID) AL 001: a crystal engineered lithium-salicylate-proline lithium delivery product.
Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 - Cohort 5b
Subjects for Cohort 5b (6 AD subjects) were not enrolled because the Safety Committee invoked study stopping rules. Per randomization, there were 6 active normal healthy subjects in cohort 5a. Stopping rules were invoked by the Safety Committee due to the pharmacokinetic results of Cohort 5a. The Stopping Rules were not invoked due to any adverse event. The stopping criteria were modest increases in plasma levels of lithium and salicylate above what is reported in the literature as the maximum therapeutic range concentrations. • Cohort 5b was not dosed. Subjects would have been dosed at 200% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (6300 mg AL001 daily × 14 days - lithium dose equivalent to that used for bipolar/affective disorders, given as 10 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID) AL 001: a crystal engineered lithium-salicylate-proline lithium delivery product.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AL001 in healthy subjects and patients with adverse event(s), AD, descriptive statistics will be presented by treatment group for each cohort and overall, for the following: Proportion of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) * Proportion of participants with serious AEs * Proportion of participants with TEAEs that lead to premature discontinuation * Proportion of participants with abnormal values for each safety laboratory test (change from baseline) * Proportion of participants with abnormal values for each Electrocardiogram (ECG) parameter (change from baseline in standard 12-lead ECG parameters) For all analyses, placebo-treated subjects from each Cohort were combined (pooled) to provide a composite placebo group for all comparisons. Adverse event profiles for all treated subjects were benign as were placebo-treated subjects. No further statistical analyses were therefore appropriate.

Multiple Ascending Doses of AL001 vs. Placebo - Cohort 1
n=6 Participants
AD-only participants (no normal healthy subjects) were randomized to receive AL001. When adequate safety data were available, a review was done for all participants to make a dose-escalation or dose and/or regimen modification decision. This was repeated for each cohort. A total of 8 cohorts received 5 different dose levels of AL001 in multiple ascending doses under fasted conditions up to tolerability/safety limits. Cohort 1 included 8 AD subjects only (9 were randomized because 1 subject voluntarily withdrew before dosing); 6 active and 2 placebo AD subjects (as per randomization code) received the following treatment or placebo: • Cohort 1: 60% of 450 mg lithium carbonate equivalent of AL001 (1890 mg AL001 daily ×14 days, given as 3 × 210 mg AL001 capsules TID) AL 001: a crystal engineered lithium-salicylate-proline lithium delivery product Placebo: matching placebo formulation
