  Purpose

The study will evaluate the safety & efficacy of AC-1204, a ketogenic compound, administered orally on a daily basis for 6 months. Following the 6 month double-blind phase of the study, subjects may enroll in an optional 6 month open-label extension phase. Efficacy will be evaluated by standard tests of memory and cognition, along with other measurements of activities of daily living and quality of life. Safety will be assessed by frequency of adverse events and changes in laboratory test results. Subjects will be stratified and outcomes will be separately analyzed based on apolipoprotein E4 genotype (APOE4).

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Alzheimer's disease assessment scale - cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog) [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    change from baseline in ADAS-cog scores at 6 months in APOE4(-) patients


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Clinicians Interview Based Impression of Change with Caregiver Input (CIBIC+) [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    change from baseline in CIBIC+ scores at 6 months in APOE4(-) patients


Enrollment: 0
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: AC-1204 Drug: caprylic triglyceride
oral, 20 gm, daily x 6 months
Other Name: AC-1204
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Drug: long-chain triglyceride
oral, 14 gm, daily x 6 months
Other Name: sunflower oil + maltodextrin

Detailed Description:

Two primary outcome measures will be assessed in APOE4(-) patients:

  1. differences from baseline between AC-1204 and placebo groups' ADAS-cog scores at 6 months
  2. differences from baseline between AC-1204 and placebo groups' CIBIC+ scores at 6 months Secondary endpoints will include differences between AC-1204 & placebo groups' scores for these same instruments at 3 months.
