According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial enrolled 421 participants across four groups. All participants had Alzheimer's disease and were being studied in relation to a drug called lanabecestat at two different doses (20 mg and 50 mg). The trial was structured so that some participants started on a placebo (an inactive treatment) before switching to lanabecestat, while others received lanabecestat from the beginning. The study measured changes in cognition (thinking and memory), daily activities, and overall functioning using several standardised rating scales. Notably, the vast majority of participants did not complete the trial — only one person out of 421 was recorded as having completed it — which is important context for understanding all of the numbers below. The reported data shows the following changes from the start of the trial to its end across the four groups. On the primary measure — a cognitive test called the ADAS-Cog13 (scored 0–85, where higher numbers mean worse cognition) — scores increased (worsened) by between approximately 8.4 and 10.4 points across all groups. On a daily activities scale (ADCS-iADL, scored 0–59, where lower numbers mean worse ability), scores fell by between roughly 7.4 and 9.2 points across groups. On a separate daily activities questionnaire (FAQ, scored 0–30, where higher means greater difficulty), scores rose by between about 6.3 and 7.1 points across groups. On a combined cognition-and-function scale (iADRS, scored 0–144, where higher means greater impairment), scores worsened by between approximately 15.4 and 18.9 points. On a general cognitive test (MMSE, scored 0–30, where lower means worse), scores fell by between roughly 4.7 and 5.8 points across groups. A second reported ADAS-Cog13 analysis showed score increases of between approximately 12.4 and 16.8 points across groups. These are the results as reported to ClinicalTrials.gov.

Who may be able to join

  • You must have already taken part in a previous clinical trial called AMARANTH (NCT02245737) and still meet the requirements to continue into this new phase of the study.

Who may not be able to join

Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.

  • If you were part of the AMARANTH trial (NCT02245737) but have since developed any new health conditions that would prevent you from safely joining this follow-on study, you would not be eligible (confirm with trial site).

Important: Always verify eligibility with the trial site directly before applying.

Other options

Expanded access pathways

This trial is not enrolling. Other access pathways exist in general: in Australia, the TGA Special Access Scheme allows access to unapproved therapeutic goods for individual patients. Whether it applies to any treatment studied here is a question for your doctor — nothing on this page says it does.
