Who can enroll
Inclusion criteria
1. Male or female participants 55 to 85 years of age, inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
2. Diagnosis of probable AD based on NINCDS-ADRDA criteria.
3. Diagnosis of dementia based on DSM-V criteria.
4. Moderate dementia as evidenced by MMSE score ≥10 to <20 at screening.
5. Magnetic resonance imaging or CT within 12 months prior to randomization with findings consistent with AD and without any other disease that may cause dementia.
6. If receiving an FDA-approved medication for AD (ie, donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine, memantine, or memantine/donepezil combination product) must be on a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to screening visit.
7. If receiving an OTC supplement for cognition (eg, gingko biloba, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, vitamin E, curcumin) must be taking a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to screening visit.
8. Able to visit the study center and undergo cognitive, functional, and other tests specified in the protocol.
9. Has a caregiver who:
10. A male participant must agree to use a highly effective contraception as detailed in Appendix 4 of this protocol during the treatment period and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period.
11. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (see Appendix 4), not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
12. A WOCBP must have a negative serum pregnancy test (beta human chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG]) at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Visit 2 before randomization.
13. Written informed consent provided by participant or legal representative and caregiver prior to any study-specific procedures
Exclusion criteria
1. Any other cause of dementia shown by MRI/CT findings and neurological examination within 12 months of randomization.
2. Concurrent or history of clinically significant psychiatric conditions (eg. Schizophrenia or bipolar affective disorder) that in the Investigator's opinion prevents the participant from participating, or is likely to confound interpretation of drug effect or affect cognitive assessments.
3. Vitamin B12, folic acid, syphilis serology, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) results that are thought to contribute to the severity of dementia or cause dementia. Participants may be enrolled if in the Investigator's medical judgment the abnormal laboratory values are not the cause of the cognitive symptoms.
4. History of known or suspected seizures including febrile seizures (excluding self-limited childhood febrile seizures), a history of significant head trauma with loss of consciousness or recent unconsciousness that is not explained.
5. Acute or unstable cardiovascular disease, active peptic ulcer, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes or insulin dependent patients or any medical condition that may interfere with the completion of the clinical study.
6. Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to GV1001 or similar products or excipients.
7. History of alcohol, substance abuse or dependence as per DSM-V criteria (except nicotine dependence) within the last 2 years.
8. Concurrent malignancies or invasive cancers diagnosed within the past 5 years except for non-metastatic basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of skin, in situ carcinoma of the uterine cervix or non-metastatic prostate cancer
9. Sexually-active WOCBP or man capable of fathering a child who do not consent to using medicinally acceptable contraception (such as surgical sterilization, intrauterine contraceptive device, condom or diaphragm, an injectable or inserted contraceptive) during the study and for 3 months after the last dose of study treatment.
10. Pregnant, breast feeding, or planning a pregnancy or fathering a child while enrolled in the study or for 3 months after the las dose of study treatment.
11. Use of anxiolytics, narcotics, or sleep aids in a manner that would interfere with cognitive testing, in the opinion of the Investigator. Atypical antipsychotics may be used at the discretion of the Investigator. Tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors are prohibited.
12. Previous treatment with GV1001.
13. Received an investigational product for AD within last 6 months.
14. Participated in another clinical study within 4 weeks prior to this study.
15. Renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CrCL] <30 mL/min).
16. Severe liver dysfunction (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] or aspartate aminotransferase [AST] >2 times the upper limit of normal [ULN]).
17. Body weight ≤35 kg.
18. Resides in a moderate to high dependency continuous care facility (residence in low grade assisted living facility where there is sufficient autonomy to permit valid evaluation of activities of daily living is allowed).
19. Any other reason that in the opinion of the Investigator would make the participant ineligible to participate or to complete this study.
