A Phase 2b/3 Clinical Study Evaluating T3D-959 in Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer's Disease Subjects

Plain-language summary
This study is a Phase 2b/3 clinical trial of a new candidate drug (T3D-959) to treat patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's. The aims of the trial are to affirm potential therapeutic efficacy and safety observed in earlier clinical trials and assess the potential to modify the course of disease. The drug will be compared to placebo and administered orally to patients once a day for 78 weeks.

Inclusion criteria
. Male or female subject aged 50-90 years old inclusive at the time of Informed Consent
. Subject (or legal representative) and caregiver must sign an Informed Consent to participate in the study.
. Subject has a caregiver, an identified adult who, in the opinion of the investigator, has sufficient contact to knowledgeably report on the subject's cognition, function, behavior, safety, compliance and adherence. Same caregiver should, whenever possible, assist the subject throughout the duration of the trial
. Subject has a biological diagnosis of AD pathology, as assessed by a validated plasma biomarker (presently %p-tau217 plasma biomarker), according to the NIA-AA (National Institute of Aging - Alzheimer's Association) criteria at screening
. Subject has a clinical diagnosis of mild to moderate AD (Stage 4 or 5) according to the NIA-AA (National Institute of Aging - Alzheimer's Association) criteria at screening
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is testing T3D-959 for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease — do I fall into that category, and is this the right stage of the disease to even be considering a trial like this?
2The trial is listed as 'not yet recruiting' — how long might it realistically be before it opens and starts enrolling patients, and should we be looking at other options in the meantime?
3This is a Phase 2b/3 study, which means it's still in a relatively early stage of testing — what does that mean for how much is known about T3D-959's safety and whether it's likely to work?
4The trial is measuring changes in two specific things — a memory and thinking test called ADAS-Cog13 and a daily activities scale called ADCS-iADL — so if I joined, how would we actually know if the treatment was helping or not helping me personally?
5Are there standard Alzheimer's treatments I should try first before considering an experimental trial like this one, or would participating in this study still allow me to use those other medications?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Change from baseline to end of treatment in ADAS-Cog13 and ADCS-iADL
. Meets criteria for mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of 14 through 26 at the screening visit.
. Modified Hachinski \< 4 at screening
. Clinical Dementia Rating is 0.5 to 2.0 at screening
Exclusion criteria
2. Able to swallow oral medications
. Subject has a current diagnosis of a significant psychiatric illness per the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders V (DSM-V) including but not limited to major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders and is in an acute phase/episode; or the subject has a current diagnosis or history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder; or has current signs of suicidality or history of suicide attempt
. Subject with untreated clinical depression at screening; Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) Short Form \> 9
. Evidence of clinically significant lesion(s) on brain MRI at Screening that could indicate a dementia diagnosis other than Alzheimer's disease
. Other significant pathological findings on brain MRI at screening, including but not limited to: more than 4 microhemorrhages (defined as 10 millimeter \[mm\] or less at the greatest diameter); a single macrohemorrhage \>10 mm at greatest diameter; an area of superficial siderosis; evidence of vasogenic edema; evidence of cerebral contusion, encephalomalacia, aneurysms, vascular malformations, or infective lesions; evidence of multiple lacunar infarcts or stroke involving a major vascular territory, severe small vessel, or white matter disease; space occupying lesions; or brain tumors (however, lesions diagnosed as meningiomas or arachnoid cysts and \<1 centimeter \[cm\] at their greatest diameter need not be exclusionary)
. Subject has a current diagnosis of a neurological disease other than AD, which has or could result in cognitive impairment, including, but not limited to, any of the following:
. History of clinically significant stroke or multiple strokes as ascertained by history and/or brain imaging findings, or history of TIA's within 12 months prior to baseline
