K0706 for Patients Diagnosed With Dementia With Lewy Bodies
A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Impact of K0706 on Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Outcomes in Dementia With Lewy Bodies (DLB)
This study evaluates the safety and tolerability of treatment with K0706 in Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB).
The hypothesis is that K0706 will be safe and tolerable and that this drug will alter CSF and plasma biomarkers in DLB. Clinical assessments of cognitive, behavioral and motor functioning will also be evaluated. A total of 45 participants will be randomized 1:1:1 into 3 groups (n=15/per group) to be treated with sachet of 192 mg powder of K0706 ( equivalent to 96 mg capsule of K0706) or sachet of 384 mg powder of K0706 (equivalent to 192 capsule of K0706) or sachet of matching placebo ( equivalent to a capsule of placebo) for 12 weeks, followed by 4-week wash-out period.

|
The MoCA is designed as a rapid screening instrument for mild cognitive dysfunction.
It assesses different cognitive domains, including attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuo-constructional skills, conceptual thinking, calculations and orientation.
Scores range between 0 and 30 where 30 is the highest score and 0 is the lowest score.

The Trail Making Test (TMT) is a neuropsychological test of visual attention and task switching.
It consists of two parts in which the subject is instructed to connect a set of 25 dots as quickly as possible while still maintaining accuracy.
The test can provide information about visual search speed, scanning, speed of processing, mental flexibility, as well as executive functioning.
The time to complete the test is measured.

|
Measuring the effects of K0706 on Cognition using the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - cognitive (ADAS-cog).
Time Frame: 12 weeks
|
ADAS-cog aims to evaluate cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease.
ADAS-cog was included in this LBD study to better capture potential changes in activities of daily living (ADL) and non-ADLs and severity of cognitive impairment.
Points for errors in each task are added up and the greater the dysfunction, the greater the score.

|
Measuring the effects of K0706 on Behavior using the Alzheimer's disease Cooperative Study-Activity of Daily Living scale.
Time Frame: 12 weeks
|
ADCS-ADL is an activity of daily living inventory to assess functional performance.
Using a structured interview format, study partners are queried as to whether participants attempted each item in the inventory during the prior 4 weeks and their level of performance.
The ADCS-ADL includes some items from traditional basic ADL tests as well as instrumental (complex) activities of daily living.
It is a 23 item scale that provide a total score from 0-78 with a lower score indicating greater severity.

Time Frame: 12 weeks
|
The NPI is a multi-item instrument to assess psychopathology in Azheimer's disease based on interview with the study partner.
The NPI evaluates both the frequency and severity of 10 neuropsychiatric disturbances.
Frequency assessments range from 1 (occasionally, less than once per week) to 4 (very frequently, once or more per day or continuously) as well as severity (1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe).
The overall score and the score for each subscale are the product of severity and frequency.

Time Frame: 12 weeks
|
The CAF consists of seven items of confusional behavior (falls, fluctuation, drowsiness, attention, disorganized thinking, altered level of consciousness, communication), scores for which are summed to provide a severity score for fluctuating confusion ranging from 0 to 21.
|
12 weeks
|
Measuring the effects of K0706 on Behavior using the Irritability-Apathy Scale (IAS)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
|
The IAS measures apathy and irritability in patients with dementia.
The IAS is a 28-item self-administered questionnaire collecting information about different aspects of irritability and apathy utilizing a 0-3 scale for each item to indicate severity.
Both a patient and a study partner version can be administered.
The IAS will be completed separately by Subjects and Study Partners.
A higher total score indicates higher severity.

12 weeks
|
Measuring the effects of K0706 on Behavior using the Problem Behaviors Assessment short form (PBA-s)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
|
PBA-s is a structured interview in which a trained interviewer rates the frequency and severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms through observation and the reporting of the Subject and Study Partner.
Symptoms rated include depressed mood, suicidal ideation, anxiety, irritability, angry or aggressive behavior, apathy, perseverative thinking or behavior, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, delusional or paranoid thinking, hallucinations, and disoriented behavior.
Each behavioral problem is rated for both severity and frequency on a 0-4- point scale; severity and frequency ratings are then multiplied to provide an overall score for each symptom.

|
Measuring the effects of K0706 on Motor Function by using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)-I-III.
Time Frame: 12 weeks
|
UPDRS-I-III is used to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's disease.
The UPDRS is made up of these sections: Part I: evaluation of mentation, behavior, and mood.
Part II: self-evaluation of the activities of daily life (ADLs) Part III: clinician-scored monitored motor evaluation.
Part IV: complications of therapy.
Part V: Hoehn and Yahr staging of severity of Parkinson's disease.
Part VI: Schwab and England ADL scale.
