NCT06885567 · Phase 2 · NOT YET RECRUITING

A Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of BEY2153 in Patients with Early Alzheimer's Disease

This trial tests BEY2153, a pill taken once a day, in people aged 55 to 85 with early Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment and confirmed amyloid on a brain scan. Researchers are looking at safety and whether it affects thinking and memory over 26 weeks. It is a Phase 2 trial: testing whether it works and is safe, not yet proven or approved.

* MMSE ≥ 20 at Screening
* Amyloid-positive at amyloid PET scan
* Patients who are capable of understanding information provided and can voluntarily sign written informed consent form
Exclusion Criteria:
* Subjects diagnosed with cognitive impairment due to causes other than substrate causes such as brain lesions, psychiatric disorders, or Alzheimer's disease (e.g., stroke, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body disease, vascular dementia)
* Subjects with any of the following cardiovascular diseases at Screening

* Patients with active bacterial infections who have received antibiotics within 7 days prior to Screening.
* Patients with a history of hypersensitivities to any of the components of investigational product
* Patients who have been hospitalized or treated for suicidal behavior within 5 years prior to Screening or whose C-SSRS results at Screening indicate serious suicidal ideation or behavior
* Patients who have received treatment for Alzheimer's disease (e.g., Lecanemab) within 6 months prior to Screening
* Patients expected to require the administration of a long-acting benzodiazepine (BDZ) for the treatment of sleep disorders at Screening
* Any of the following laboratory test values at Screening:
  * Serum Creatinine >1.5×ULN or eGFR (MDRD) \<40 mL/min/1.73 m2
  * Any of the following: AST, ALT >3×ULN, or Total bilirubin >2xULN
* Women who test positive for pregnancy at Screening, or women and men of childbearing potential who are planning to become pregnant, or who do not agree to use adequate contraception* during the study and for 4 weeks after the end of study drug administration
  *Adequate contraception: complete abstinence, hormonal contraceptives with no known drug interactions [Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (IUS) (Mirena), Medroxyprogesterone], surgical sterilization (including vasectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and ligation). However, intermittent abstinence (e.g., using ovulation timing, symptothermal method, or post-ovulation) or external ejaculation are not considered adequate contraception.

* Patients who provided written consent to participate in the Extension Study
Exclusion Criteria:
* Subjects who have dropped out of the Main Study
* Patients who, in the investigator's judgement, are not suitable for participation in Extension Study
* Any of the following laboratory test values at Baseline:
  * Serum Creatinine >1.5×ULN or eGFR (MDRD) \<40 mL/min/1.73 m2
  * Any of the following: AST, ALT >3×ULN, or Total bilirubin >2xULN
