What is the purpose of the XanaMIA phase 2b/3 trial in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease?

The purpose of the trial is to test a potential new treatment for improving cognitive performance, including issues with memory, concentration, decision-making and other aspects of cognition.

This trial investigates the effectiveness of an oral medication called Xanamem® in improving cognitive symptoms and overall clinical function in patients with mild or moderate dementia due to AD.

Xanamem was created to block the excess production of cortisol – the stress hormone – inside brain cells. High levels of cortisol are often seen in people with Alzheimer’s disease and may contribute to brain dysfunction.

The trial medication is experimental.

®Xanamem is a registered trademark of Actinogen Medical Limited

What does the trial involve?

Participation in the trial will be required for approximately 11.5 months (50 weeks). This includes a pre-screening period (if required) of 6 weeks, a screening period of up to 4 weeks, a treatment period of 9 months (36 weeks) and a follow-up period of 4 weeks.

‘Randomized’ means that you will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to receive either the research project treatment or a placebo (no active ingredients).

‘Double-blind’ means neither doctor, participant, nor Actinogen will know which treatment was assigned at randomization.

Participants in the XanaMIA-B trial will need to:

  • Attend appointments at a clinical trial site and appointments via telephone together with a study partner
  • Undergo interviews (participant and study partner)
  • Take a daily oral medication
  • Have blood and urine samples collected for laboratory testing
  • Complete various questionnaires
  • Undergo cognitive assessments that will evaluate functions such as memory, concentration, and decision-making

Is there a cost?

There is no cost to participate in this clinical trial.

Reimbursement for reasonable travel and incidental costs incurred attending clinic visits will be provided.
