Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacokinetic Effects of BMS-708163 in the Treatment of Patients With Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of BMS-708163 in patients with Prodromal Alzheimer's disease over a treatment period of a minimum of 104-weeks. In addition patients will be seen for safety visits at 4 and 12 weeks post treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Safety and tolerability of BMS-708163 in patients with Prodromal Alzheimer's disease as measured by adverse events, vital signs, laboratory assessments, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and Safety Head Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings
Time Frame: Every 12 weeks up to week 220
Every 12 weeks up to week 220
Safety and tolerability of BMS-708163 in patients with Prodromal Alzheimer's disease as measured by adverse events, vital signs, laboratory assessments, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and Safety Head Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings
Time Frame: Avagacestat-treated patients will be seen for safety visits at 4 Post Treatment/Study Termination

Avagacestat-treated patients will have a 24 week post treatment skin examination by a dermatologist

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Predictive value of Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) biomarkers (Aβ40, and Aβ42, total Tau, total Tau/Aβ42 ratio, phosphorylated Tau) on progression to dementia
Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0), Week 2 (optional), Week 24 and Week 104
Baseline (Week 0), Week 2 (optional), Week 24 and Week 104

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 1, 2009

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
