2-Hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) Phase 1b/2a Proof-of Concept, Dose-Finding, Biomarker Study in Early Alzheimer's Patients
MTI Biotech Inc
Summary
Investigators propose a phase 1b/2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group dose finding and biomarker study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and biomarker activity of 2-HOBA in 48 MCI/AD participants. Participants will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive 250, 500, 750 mg 2-HOBA acetate TID or placebo for 16 weeks. Blood and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) will be collected to measure markers of protein modification by dicarbonyls (IsoLGs- \& MDA), pTau-181, YKL-40, and NF-L.

Blood and CSF will be collected to measure markers of protein modification by dicarbonyls (IsoLGs- \& MDA), pTau-181, YKL-40, and NF-L. Investigators anticipate screening 120 subjects to randomize up to 60 subjects with the goal of 48 patients completing the study (allowin…
