FLURIZAN™ Alzheimer's Disease Phase 3 Clinical Trial (US)


A Clinical Trial to Evaluate Aβ42 Reduction for Limiting the Impact of Alzheimer's Disease

Experimental Drug: FLURIZAN tarenflurbil
Therapeutic Area: Alzheimer's Disease
Current Status: Phase 3 Enrollment is Complete

Enrollment Status

Enrollment for the U.S. phase 3 study is complete.

Trial Description/Purpose

Enrollment is complete for Myriad's U.S. Phase 3 trial of FLURIZAN in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease (MMSE 20-26). The Phase 3 study is a double blind, placebo-controlled trial, with randomization of patients at enrollment into one of two arms. Patients will be given 800mg of FLURIZAN or placebo twice daily for the duration of the 18-month study period. Patients may be taking approved medication for Alzheimer's disease provided the dose has been stable for at least 6 months. The study is designed to determine FLURIZAN's ability to alter the course of cognitive decline and functional change in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease, as measured by the ADAS-cog (Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale, cognitive subscale) test, and the change in ADCS-ADL (Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living scale), respectively. Patients who complete 18 months of the study may be eligible for treatment with Flurizan under an open-label protocol.
