Phase I
Clinical Trial
Evaluating the safety, tolerability, and impact of IGC-AD1, a novel oral THC-melatonin therapy, on neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer's disease.
Safe, well-tolerated and may reduce agitation and
caregiver distress in Alzheimer’s disease.
Objective
Overall NPS Reduction
(max 121) Caregiver distress, and Neuropsychiatric Symptoms (NPS), including agitation, anxiety, and depression improved.
Objective
Overall Safety: Not Black Boxes Warnings
IGC-AD1 is safe and tolerable at three different dosage levels.
Double-blind study evaluating multiple dose levels of IGC-AD1.
(max 180) Mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s patients randomized to receive ascending doses of IGC-AD1 or placebo for 14 days, with comprehensive assessment of safety and symptom changes
Study design
(max 118) Recall the MAD, three-cohort design, participant numbers (active vs. placebo), duration, and washout periods.
Demographics
Female: 69.2%
Male: 30.8%
Mean Age: 80.5 ± 5.7 years
Mean Weight: 147.7 ± 31.6 lb
Results on NPS
Neuropsychiatric Symptoms Measured by NPI Scores
Patients taking IGC-AD1 intervention showed an overall improvement in NPS. Caregiver distress improved as well.
Results on Agitation
At all three dosages, agitation improved both clinically and statistically (p <0.05)
Key Outcomes Phase I- Clinical Trial
(max 139) Safety profile: No serious adverse events; IGC-AD1 was well tolerated across CYP2C9 genotypes, with no induced suicidal ideation.
(max 139) Caregiver distress decreased: NPI-D scores reduced by 55% in active group, 33% in placebo; potential for easing care burden.
(max 139) Reduction in agitation: Active group showed a 36% decrease in NPI Agitation scores versus 0% in placebo, suggesting clinical benefit.
