Brief Summary

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

In clinical trials of preclinical pharmacodynamic studies, Wei Li Bai capsules has been proved to significantly improve the learning and memory ability of Alzheimer's disease model. In this study, the researchers will use a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel method to recruit Alzheimer's disease patients to confirm the efficacy and safety of Wei Li Bai capsules. Confirmation of drug efficacy will be observed through changes in Alzheimer's disease patients' general cognitive function scores, scores of different cognitive domains, daily living activities, and symptom severities.

Detailed Description

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

Wei Li Bai Capsule is composed of sodium ferulate tablets, L-rhamnose and chrysin. Sodium ferulate tablet is a domestically marketed drug, L-rhamnose is a marketed food additive, and chrysin is a dietary supplement. All of them have been widely used and their safety has been confirmed. In addition, since these three compounds all show good potential in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and play an important role in regulating metabolism, improving blood circulation and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, this study will explore the synergistic effect of Wei Libai capsule in patients with mild and moderate Alzheimer's disease in 130 subjects.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

active group

Take 2 tablets each time (study drug), 3 times a day, a total of 0.9g per day. Take it with warm water half an hour before meals.

Specifications: 0.15g/ pill (42mg sodium ferulate dihydrate, 42mg rhamnose monohydrate, 66mg chrysin)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Wei Li Bai capsules

Intervention Type DRUG

The distribution ratio between the groups was 1:1, and the stratification factor was the degree of illness CDR score. In the study, the entry of each subject into the active group or placebo group will be determined by the randomized system.

control group

Take 2 tablets of the control drug (placebo) each time, 3 times a day, 0.9g a day. Take it with warm water half an hour before meals.

Specification: 0.15g/ grain (microcrystalline cellulose)

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age 50 to 80 years old (including 50 and 80 years old), male or female;
2. Meet the diagnostic criteria of "likely ad dementia" of the National Institute on aging Alzheimer's disease association (NIA-AA) (2011);
3. The subjects are primary school graduates / graduates and above, and have the ability to complete the cognitive ability test and other tests specified in the program;
4. Memory loss lasted for at least 6 months and tended to worsen gradually;
5. Subjects with mild or moderate illness: 11 ≤ total score of MMSE ≤ 26;
6. Total score of Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR):

Mild dementia: CDR = 1.0; Moderate dementia: CDR = 2.0;
7. The total score of HIS ≤ 4;
8. The total score of Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD 17 item version) is ≤ 10;
9. If the subject is currently receiving an approved AD treatment, such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI) and/or memantine, they must have been using a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to baseline and maintain a stable dose throughout the study;
10. There was no obvious positive sign in nervous system examination;
11. Coronal scanning of head MRI in screening stage: the MTA grade of medial temporal lobe atrophy visual assessment scale is grade 1-2. If the subject can provide the head MRI film that meets the requirements within 3 month before screening, it can be used as the basis for enrollment without repeated shooting; If the researcher cannot judge whether the subject's condition has changed, the coronal MRI scan of the head before enrollment can be added;
12. The subjects should have stable and reliable caregivers, who will take care of them at least 3 days a week and at least 4 hours a day. The caregivers will accompany the subjects to participate in the whole process of the study. Caregivers must accompany the subjects to the study visit and assist the investigator in completing the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), Alzheimer's Disease Collaborative Study-Ability of Daily Living Scale (ADCS-ADL), and Clinician Interview Based Impression of Severity (CIBIC -plus), and other scale scores;
13. Agree to participate and sign the informed consent form by the legal guardian. Due to the subject's limited cognitive ability and other reasons, the subject's signature is allowed to be left blank, and the reason is explained. In addition, the legal guardian shall sign the reason statement, and the legal guardian shall sign the informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

1. During screening, MRI examination showed significant focal lesions, fulfilling one of the following conditions:

① There were more than 2 infarcts with diameter \> 2 cm at any site;

② MRI examination showed that there were infarcts with arbitrary diameter in key parts (such as thalamus, hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, paraolfactory cortex, angular gyrus, cortex and other subcortical gray matter nuclei);
