E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that intravenous infusion of LY2062430 will slow the decline of AD as compared with placebo, as assessed at 80 weeks after initiation of treatment using a mixed-model repeated-measures (MMRM) analysis of 2 coprimary outcomes, the 11 item Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale—Cognitive subscore (ADAS-Cog11) and the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study—Activities of Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL). The specific hypothesis is that the change at the end of the treatment phase for LY2062430 will be significantly less than that for placebo. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess global clinical benefit of treatment as demonstrated through CDR-SB and NPI To provide supporting evidence that LY2062430 attenuates the underlying pathologic process in AD by vMRI to assess the rate of decline in brain volumes To compare the safety of LY2062430 and placebo To characterize population pharmacokinetics To test the hypothesis that LY2062430 will slow the rate of decline associated with AD compared with placebo using ADAS-Cog11, ADCS-ADL, ADAS-Cog12, ADAS-Cog14 and MMSE To assess clinical benefit of treatment with LY2062430 as demonstrated through RUD-Lite, EQ-5D Proxy, and QoL-AD scale To assess differential rate of functional decline with LY2062430 compared with placebo using a subset of items from the ADCS-ADL for instrumental ADLs To provide further supporting evidence that LY2062430 attenuates the underlying pathologic process in AD as measured by several additional biomarkers that will be collected via optional study addenda |

E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Title: H8A-MC-LZAN (1) (Sample Banking) Effect of Passive Immunization on the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease: LY2062430 versus Placebo. Date: 07 October 2008 Version: 1 Objective: Eli Lilly and Company has established a program, Combined Specimen Banking (CSB), to bank samples from patients enrolled in studies sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. The Banked Samples are collected and banked for research to identify the (1) genes, (2) gene products, (3) biochemical markers, or (4) any combination thereof associated with diseases, response to clinical trial medication, or both or other medication taken during the trial.
Title: H8A-MC-LZAN (2) (Lumbar Punctures) Effect of Passive Immunization on the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease: LY2062430 versus Placebo Date: 07 October 2008 Version: 1 Objectives: Lumbar punctures (LPs) will be used to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for assays of CSF glucose, protein, cell count with differential, and albumin; LY2062430, amyloid β peptides (Aβ), and tau proteins and CSF storage. A secondary objective of the study is to show that concentrations of free (unbound to antibody) Aβ1-42 in CSF may be increased in LY2062430-treated patients compared with placebo-treated patients.
H8A-MC-LZAN (3) (Amyloid Imaging)Effect of Passive Immunization on the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease: LY2062430 versus Placebo Date: 22 December 2008 This technique will be used in this study to meet 2 secondary study objectives: first, to test the hypothesis that amyloid burden will be reduced in patients treated with LY2062430 (versus placebo) and second, that only patients demonstrating sufficient amyloid burden at baseline will respond to treatment as determined by clinical measures |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.Meets National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke/Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS/ADRDA) criteria for probable AD (McKhann et al. 1984; Protocol Attachment LZAN.3) as determined by a neurologist or geriatrician. 2.Has a Modified Hachinski Ischemia Scale (MHIS; Hachinski et al. 1975; Protocol Attachment LZAN.3) score of ≤4. 3.Has a Folstein MMSE score of 16 through 26 at Visit 1 (Folstein et al. 1975; Protocol Attachment LZAN.3). 4.Has a Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) score of ≤6 (on the staff-administered short form). 5.Has had an MRI or computerized tomography (CT) scan performed within the past 2 years that has confirmed no findings inconsistent with a diagnosis of AD. Results of this MRI or CT are to be on file at the site. If a patient has not had a prestudy MRI/CT scan in the past 2 years or attempts to obtain offsite imaging results are unsuccessful, then a screening non-contrast head CT is to be performed; due diligence to obtain offsite results should be documented in the patient’s file before obtaining a screening non-contrast head CT scan or MRI scan. Alternatively, the MRI scan required prior to solanezumab administration at Visit 2 may be used to assess eligibility upon approval by the Medical Monitor. 6.Is at least 55 years old, and if a female of childbearing potential, tests negative for pregnancy at Visit 1 and is using a medically accepted means of contraception. 7.If receiving concurrent treatment with an AChEI and/or memantine, has been on the medication for at least 4 months with a stable dose for at least 2 months before Visit 2. Dosing must remain stable throughout the study. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
[8] Does not have a reliable caregiver who is in frequent contact with the patient (defined as at least 10 hours per week), will accompany the patient to the office and/or be available by telephone at designated times, and will monitor administration of prescribed medications. Note: The caregiver(s) must be able to communicate with site personnel and be willing to comply with protocol requirements, and in the investigator’s opinion must have adequate literacy to complete the protocol-specified questionnaires. Participants living in an assisted-living facility may be included if study medication intake is supervised and if regular contact with a caregiver who accompanies the patient is maintained. If it is known that the caregiver could change and the two caregivers are available (in the same location) both should be advised of the study procedures and may attend the visits with the patient. In addition, both will have to sign the Informed Consent Document (ICD) (see section 13.1).

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Each of the 2 coprimary endpoints, ADAS-Cog11 and the ADCS-ADL, will be analyzed separately using an MMRM analysis. The change from baseline score at each visit postbaseline during the treatment period will be the dependent variable. The model for the fixed effects will include 8 terms: baseline score, investigator, treatment, MMSE stratification factor at baseline (mild or moderate), visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, concomitant AChEI or memantine use at baseline (yes/no), and age at baseline. Visit will be considered a categorical variable with values equal to the visit numbers at which the scales were assessed. The null hypothesis is that the contrast between the LY2062430 group versus placebo at the last visit equals zero. A rejection of the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative, showing that LY2062430 is superior to placebo, will demonstrate a treatment effect |
