Background summary
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurological disorders
worldwide, the most common and invalidating age-related disorder. AD causes
progressive amnesia, dementia, and eventually erratic problems and death.
Currently, the only pharmacological therapy is symptomatic drugs such as
cholinesterase inhibitors (Cheis) or other drugs against AD's secondary
behavioral symptoms.
Study objective
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of treatment on cognition,
overall clinical status and underlying pathology in subjects with a risk of
occurrence of the first clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
People without cognitive problems with genotype APOE4 HT and age 60 to 75 years
are selected because they represent a population with a particularly high risk
of progression to MCI (mild cognitive impairment) due to the disease of
Alzheimer's disease and / or dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
Study design
In the pre-screening phase, participants will receive disclosure of their
individual test results for APOE genotyping. In the follow-up after release of
the genetic information, telephone appraisal talks are conducted with
participants to whom their genotype is released.
In the treatment phase, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled,
two-cohort, two-cohort study carried out in parallel with subjects receiving at
least 60 months of treatment or associated placebo treatment. The duration of
treatment given to each subject depends on the timing of the randomization
within the study, i.e. subjects will be treated until the last subject has been
treated for approximately 60 months. As recruitment is expected to take up to 3
years, subjects who have been randomized early in the investigation may be
treated to 96 months.
The randomization ratio is 2: 1: 2 (CNP520 50 mg, CNP520 15 mg, Placebo)
Intervention
Buccal swab; 1x if not done before
Blood pressure, Pulse: During screening 1x, then every visit.
ECG: During screening 1x, at month 3, then every six months
Physical research including neurological and dermatological research: During
screening 1x, at strat treatment, at month 3, then every 6 months
Pictures of the skin: During screening 1x, then if necessary
Blood collection: During screening 2x, at month 3, then every six months
Urine collection: During screening 1x, at start treatment, at month 3, then
every six months
MRI: During screening 1x, at month 6 and 12, thereafter annually
CSF or PET scan: screening (CSF prefered): During screening 1x. Optional: At
year 2, year 5 and at EOS.
Completion of Questionnaires: During screening 3x, at start treatment, at month
3, then every six months
Study burden and risks
The benefits of CNP520 have not yet been established and may not directly
benefit from participation in this research. The information provided by this
research may be useful to the subject and / or other people at risk of
occurrence of the first clinical signs of Alzheimer's disease. The burden and
risk are therefore high, the subjects are not ill at the time of participation.
However, there is no other way to investigate this product.

Inclusion criteria
Screening part I: Participants eligible for inclusion must fulfill all of the
following criteria prior to scheduling the genetic disclosure.
- Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed
as part of the study, including consent to receive disclosure of their risk
estimates to develop clinical symptoms of AD based on their APOE genotype and,
if HTs, with evidence of elevated brain amyloid.
- Male or female, age 60-75 years inclusive, at the time of signing the
informed consent.
- Females must be considered post-menopausal and not of child bearing potential
i.e. they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an
appropriate clinical profile (e.g. history of vasomotor symptoms), or have had
surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy), total
hysterectomy, or tubal ligation.
- Intellectually, visually and auditorily capable, fluent in, and able to read,
the language in which study assessments are administered (e.g. completion of at
least 6 years of regular schooling or sustained employment or equivalent local
level of knowledge).
- Mini-Mental State Examination total score *24.
- Willing to have a study partner throughout the study.Screening part II:
Participants eligible for inclusion must fulfill all of the following criteria
prior to randomization based on the results from the screening test procedures.
- Carrier of at least one *4 allele of the APOE gene: HMs with elevated or not
elevated brain amyloid OR HTs with elevated brain amyloid (as measured in CSF
collected via lumbar puncture or by amyloid PET imaging).
Note: In cases where both lumbar puncture (CSF) amyloid and amyloid PET imaging
tests are performed, at least one should be indicative of elevated brain
amyloid.
- Cognitively unimpaired at screening visit as defined by: Score of 85 or
greater on the RBANS delayed memory index score AND CDR global score of 0
- Having a study partner who agrees to participate in the study and who is
intellectually, visually, and auditorily capable, and fluent in, and able to
read, the language in which study assessments are administered.
Exclusion criteria
Screening part I: Participants will be excluded if they fulfill any of the
following criteria prior to scheduling the genetic disclosure.
- Current medical or neurological condition that might impact cognition or
performance on cognitive assessments e.g. MCI, dementia, Huntington*s or
Parkinson*s disease etc.
- Advanced, severe progressive or unstable disease that may interfere with the
safety, tolerability and study assessments, or put the participant at special
risk e.g. active hepatitis, HIV infection, severe renal impairment, severe
hepatic impairment etc.
- History of malignancy of any organ system, treated or untreated, within the
past 60 months, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or
metastases. However, localized nonmalignant tumors not requiring systemic
chemo- or radio-therapy, localized basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the
skin, or in-situ cervical cancer are permitted.
- Current treatment with Cholinesterase Inhibitors and/or another AD treatment.
- Clinically relevant depigmenting or hypopigmenting conditions or
active/history of chronic urticaria in the past year.
- Score *yes* on item 4 or 5 of the Suicidal Ideation section of the C-SSRS
PRO, if this ideation occurred in the past 6 months, or *yes* on any item of
the Suicidal Behavior section, except for the *Non-Suicidal Self-Injurious
Behavior*, if this behavior occurred in the past 2 years prior to screening.
- Lacking psychological readiness to receive APOE genotype/amyloid status
results, as assessed based on investigator*s judgement supported by the
pre-disclosure rating scales: Geriatric Depression Scale total score >6; Six
Item Subset Inventory of the modified State Trait Anxiety Inventory total score
>17.
- Contraindication or intolerance to MRI investigations.Screening part II:
Participants fulfilling any of the following criteria based on results from the
screening test procedures will be excluded.
- A positive drug screen, if, in the investigator*s opinion, this is due to
drug abuse. Participants with a positive drug screen not believed to be related
to drug abuse can be re-screened.
- Significantly abnormal laboratory results at screening, meeting the
exclusionary alert values specified in the Laboratory Manual. If, in the
opinion of the investigator, an abnormal finding is the result of a temporary
condition, the laboratory test can be repeated.
- Current significant ECG findings from central reader that are assessed as
clinically significant by the investigator. QTc interval >500 ms is
exclusionary.
- Brain MRI results from the central reading showing findings unrelated to AD
that, in the opinion of the investigator might be a leading cause of future
cognitive decline, might pose a risk to the participant, or might confound MRI
assessment for safety monitoring (e.g. extensive white matter lesions, stroke,
cerebrovascular disease as evidenced by multiple lacunar infarcts *20 mm or
single infarct >20 mm, evidence of cerebral contusion etc.).
- If PET scans are scheduled for this participant: Total dosimetry above the
acceptable exposure in the country when combining the previous or planned
Nuclear Medicine Radiology exposure and the scheduled study PET scan(s).
- If CSF sampling is scheduled for this participant: Contraindication to lumbar
puncture e.g. low platelet count, abnormal prothrombin time international
normalized ratio, history of back surgery (except microdiscectomy or
laminectomy over one level), signs or symptoms of intracranial pressure etc.
