NCT01739348 ↗ | An Efficacy and Safety Trial of Verubecestat (MK-8931) in Mild to Moderate Alzheimer's Disease (P07738) | Terminated | Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. | Phase 2/Phase 3 | This study consists of two parts, Part I and Part II. The purpose of Part I of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of verubecestat (MK-8931) compared with placebo administered for 78 weeks in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The primary study hypotheses for Part I are that at least one verubecestat dose is superior to placebo at 78 weeks of treatment with respect to change from baseline in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) score and that at least one verubecestat dose is superior to placebo at 78 weeks of treatment with respect to change from baseline in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL) score. The first approximately 400 participants entering Part I of the study are identified as the Safety Cohort. Participants who complete Part I of the study may choose to participate in Part II, which is a long term double-blind extension to assess efficacy and safety of verubecestat administered for up to an additional 260 weeks. |
NCT01953601 ↗ | Efficacy and Safety Trial of Verubecestat (MK-8931) in Participants With Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease (MK-8931-019) | Terminated | Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. | Phase 3 | This study consists of two parts, Part 1 and Part 2. Part 1 assesses the efficacy and safety of verubecestat (MK-8931) compared with placebo administered for 104 weeks in the treatment of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) due to Alzheimer's Disease (AD), also known as prodromal AD. Participants are randomized to receive placebo, or 12 mg or 40 mg verubecestat, once daily. The primary study hypothesis for Part 1 is that ≥1 verubecestat dose is superior to placebo with respect to the change from baseline in the Clinical Dementia Rating scale-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) score at 104 weeks. Participants completing Part 1 may choose to participate in Part 2, which is a long term double-blind extension to assess efficacy and safety of verubecestat administered for up to an additional 260 weeks. In Part 2, all participants receive either 12 mg or 40 mg verubecestat, once daily. |
NCT02910739 ↗ | An Open-Label Study Investigating MK-8931 in Participants With Mild and Moderate Hepatic Insufficiency (MK-8931-016) | Completed | Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. | Phase 1 | This study consists of Part I and an optional Part II. The purpose of Part I is to compare the plasma pharmacokinetics of verubecestat (MK-8931) following administration of a single oral dose of 40 mg MK-8931 to participants with moderate hepatic insufficiency (HI) to that of healthy matched controls. An interim safety and pharmacokinetic analysis on the basis of Part I will be performed in order to support the decision to continue with the optional Part II. If a decision to continue with Part II is made, participants with mild HI will be enrolled to receive a single oral dose of 40mg MK-8931. If any healthy participants from Part I do not meet the matching criteria for Part II additional healthy participants will be enrolled. |
