Study to Evaluate the Effects of NMRA-323511 Among Healthy Elderly and Adults With Agitation Associated With Dementia Due to Alzheimer's Disease

May 19, 2026 updated by: Neumora Therapeutics, Inc.

A Phase 1b, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effects of NMRA-323511 Among Healthy Elderly and Adults With Agitation Associated With Dementia Due to Alzheimer's Disease

This study consists of 2 parts, Part A and Part B. Part A is a single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cohort designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of NMRA-323511 among healthy elderly.

Part B is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-group cohort to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of NMRA-323511 among adults with Agitation Associated with Dementia due to Alzheimer's Disease.

Part A consists of a Screening Period (up to 28 days), a 10-day Treatment Period, and a 10- day Follow-up clinic visit after last dose of study treatment.

Part B consists of a Screening Period (up to 28 days), an 8-week Treatment Period, and a 10-day Follow-up clinic visit after last dose of study treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Part A: Safety and Tolerability Assessments Based on Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Validated Clinical Scales
Time Frame: Up to 53 days
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical trial participant, temporally associated with the use of trial intervention, whether or not considered related to the trial intervention. Any AE occurring following the start of treatment or occurring before treatment but increasing in severity afterward were counted as treatment-emergent AE (TEAE). Clinically significant abnormalities in Clinical Laboratory Evaluations, ECGs, Vital Signs, Physical examinations, and Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) scores will be reported as TEAEs.
Up to 53 days
Part B: Safety and Tolerability Assessments Based on Treatment Emergent Adverse Events and Validated Clinical Scales
Time Frame: Up to Week 10
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical trial participant, temporally associated with the use of trial intervention, whether or not considered related to the trial intervention. Any AE occurring following the start of treatment or occurring before treatment but increasing in severity afterward were counted as a TEAE. Clinically significant abnormalities in Clinical Laboratory Evaluations, ECGs, Vital Signs, Physical examinations, and C-SSRS scores will be reported as TEAEs.
Up to Week 10
Part B: Change from Baseline to Week 8 on the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 8
The CMAI is a 29-item scale to assess the frequency of agitated behaviors. The 29 agitated behaviors are categorized into agitation factors, including aggressive behavior, physically non-aggressive behavior, and verbally agitated behavior. Each item is rated over the past 2 weeks on a 7-point scale ranging from "Never" (score of 1) to "Several times per hour" (score of 7). The CMAI total score is calculated as the sum of all 29 items and range from 29 (no agitation) to 203 (most severe agitation). A score >45 is commonly regarded as clinically significant agitation.
Baseline to Week 8
