| Alzheimer Disease | Drug: COR388 capsule Drug: Placebo capsule | Phase 2 Phase 3 |
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that assessed the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 dose levels of COR388 oral capsules in subjects with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia according to the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) criteria. The subject did not have other conditions or brain imaging abnormalities that could explain the symptoms of dementia. All subjects were encouraged to have lumbar punctures (LPs) (during screening, week 24 and week 48) in the absence of medical conditions that could increase the risk of the procedure in the opinion of the Investigator. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), saliva, and blood were analyzed for measurements of biomarkers of AD and neuroinflammation, and for the presence of bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis). A subset of sites monitored subjects for clinical evidence of periodontitis at baseline, 24 and 48 weeks.
The study consisted of 3 phases: a screening phase of up to 6 weeks, a treatment phase of up to 48 weeks, and a safety follow-up phase of 6 weeks.

- Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 11 (ADAS-Cog 11) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 11 (ADAS-Cog 11) - Total Score The cognitive subscale of the ADAS (ADAS Cog11) was used as a primary efficacy measure and consists of 11 items assessing areas of function most typically impaired in Alzheimer's disease (AD): orientation, verbal memory, language, and praxis. he scale ranges from 0 to 70, with higher scores indicating greater disease severity.
- Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Group-Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) Inventory Score is a 23-item inventory.
The ADCS-ADL measures both basic and instrumental activities of daily living The total ADCS-ADL score ranges from 0 to 78, with lower scores indicating greater disease severity.
- Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) - Sum of Boxes CDR-SB is a semi-structured interview of participants and their caregivers. Participant's cognitive status is rated across 6 domains of functioning, including memory, orientation, judgment/problem solving, community affairs, home/hobbies, and personal care.
Severity score assigned for each of 6 domains; total score (SB) ranges from 0 to 18. Higher scores indicate greater disease severity.
- Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]Change in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) - Total Score Minimum Score - 0 Maximum Score - 30 Higher score means better outcome
- Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) - Total Score NPI assesses psychopathology in participants with dementia and other neurologic disorders.
Total score ranges from 12 to 144; higher scores indicate greater disease severity.
- Anti-P. Gingivalis IgG in Serum [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
Anti-P. gingivalis immunoglobulin G (IgG) in serum
Antibody levels were measured by ELISA and outcome measure are ELISA UNITS (EU)
Lower levels represent a pharmacodynamic effect of the drug on its target
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
Change in magnetic resonance imaging - bilateral whole brain volume
Larger volume may represent effect of the drug on its target
- Periodontal (or Gum) Pocket Depth [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 48 ]
Periodontal (or gum) pocket depth - pocket depth for only sites with depth >= 4mm.
The primary endpoint was mean change in pocket depth from baseline to the end of the double-blind treatment period for tooth sites with depth ≥ 4mm at any time during the study. Therefore, values presented may be less than 4mm.
Larger measure means worse outcome

Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Subject has probable AD dementia according to the NIA-AA criteria.
- Subject has an Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score 12 and 24 inclusive at both screening and Visit 2 and a ≤3-point difference between these visits.
- Subject has brain MRI scan consistent with the diagnosis of AD performed during the screening period. Computed Tomography scan can be used only if the subject has an absolute contraindication for MRI.
- Subject has a Modified Hachinski score ≤4 at screening.
- Subjects with background symptomatic therapy with acetylcholine esterase inhibitors, and/or memantine, are allowed as long as the dose has been stable for 90 days prior to screening and no changes are planned during the study.
- Subject has a primary caregiver willing to accept responsibility for supervising the treatment (e.g., administering study drug) and assessing the condition of the subject throughout the study in accordance with all protocol requirements.
- Subject has body mass index <38 kg/m2 at Screening
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject has imaging consistent with a dementia diagnosis other than AD.
- Subject has had an increase or restoration of cognition based on medical history.
- Subject with history or current evidence of major psychiatric illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depressive disorder that may interfere with the patient's ability to perform the study and all assessments. Note: Mild depression or depressive mood arising in the context of AD are not criteria for exclusion. The use of anti-depressants or the use of anti epileptic medication for non seizure-related treatment is allowed if the dose has remained stable for at least 60 days prior to enrollment.
-
