NCT01284387

Brief Summary

A Phase II clinical research study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different dose levels of an injectable investigational treatment (ACC-001) in subjects with Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer's disease. ACC-001 (vanutide cridificar) is a beta amyloid fragment attached to a carrier protein. It is intended to help induce an antibody response against beta amyloid and is administered as an intramuscular injection.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To evaluate the effect of ACC-001 in combination with an adjuvant immunostimulatory agent (QS-21), administered intramuscularly compared to placebo on cerebral amyloid burden in subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

    24 Months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 dosage levels of ACC-001 plus QS-21 vs. placebo in subjects with mild to moderate AD.

    24 Months

  • Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in disease biomarkers.

    24 Months

  • Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in measurements of immunogenicity.

    24 Months

  • Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in cognitive and functional scales.

    24 Months

  • Exploratory Outcome Measure: To assess the effects of ACC-001 compared to placebo as measured by change from baseline in health outcome measures.
