About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Healthy Elderly Volunteers focused on measuring AZD3293, Healthy volunteers, Elderly volunteers, Alzheimer's Disease patients, AD patients, Phase 1, Multiple Ascending Dose Study

Eligibility Criteria

55 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Part 1: Healthy elderly male and female (of non-childbearing potential) subjects.
  • Part 2: Male and non-fertile female AD patients.
  • Body mass index (BMI) between 19 and 30 kg/m2 and weigh at least 50 kg and no more than 100 kg.
  • Part 2: Clinical diagnosis of probable AD according to the NINCDS-ADRDA criteria.
  • Part 2: Manifestation of AD symptoms at least 6 months before randomization.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Part 1: History or presence of psychiatric disease/condition, GI, renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, psychiatric, or retinal diseases or disorders.
  • Part 2: Significant disease affecting the CNS other than Alzheimer's disease, including but not limited to other dementias, other significant neurological or major psychiatric disease.
  • History of use of antipsychotic drugs , or chronic use of antidepressant or anxiolytic drugs.

Arms of the Study

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

AZD3293

Placebo

Arm Description

Part 1: Up to 6 sequential cohorts of healthy elderly subjects are planned, with multiple ascending doses, starting with 5 mg (subject to confirmation by the Safety Review Committee) Part 2: Up to 16 mild-to-moderate AD patients administered one to up to 3 dosage levels of AZD3293

Part 1: Placebo given (2 subjects in each cohort) Part 2: Placebo given (up to 4 subjects)

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Adverse event monitoring
Assessment of vital signs (blood pressure, pulse and body temperature) and physical exams
Clinical laboratory tests (chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, renal safety)
Assessment of 12-lead digital electrocardiograms to measure rhythm, rate, morphology, QT/QTc interval
Assessment of telemetry, as reported by Investigator Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) captures the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors during the assessment period. Some questions are yes/no and some are on a scale of 1 (low severity) to 5 (high severity). Completed suicide and non-fatal suicide events are yes/no questions and results presented are the number of participants with these events. Worsening of suicidal ideation was an increase in severity of suicidal ideation from baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Investigation of the effect of AZD3293 on plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers relevant for Alzheimer Disease (AD)
Investigation of the effect of AZD3293 on plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers relevant for Alzheimer Disease (AD) in mild-moderate AD patients in comparison to elderly healthy volunteers
Investigation of the multiple dose Pharmacokinetics for AZD3293 and its metabolite AZ13569724, including dose proportionality for AZD3293 following oral administration
Investigation of the Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics relationship of the effect of AZD3293 on biomarkers relevant for Alzheimer Disease (AD) in plasma
