A Phase IIa Proof of Concept, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of the Effects of L-serine on Early Stage Alzheimer's Disease Patients
Abstract
This is a Phase IIa, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Subjects for participation in this study will be identified by the Investigator based on their Clinical Dementia Rating score which will be completed as part of standard practice. Patients meeting the criteria for early Alzheimer's disease will be considered for study participation, with the Investigator taking the additional inclusion/exclusion criteria into consideration. Up to 40 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects participating in the study will be randomized to receive either gummies containing L-Serine or placebo gummies, with the Investigator and study staff blinded to the group assignments.
Conditions: Alzheimer Disease.
Primary outcome: Change in Score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Assessment Evaluation.
Enrollment: 29 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 29 participants or records.
