Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of AVP-786 for the Treatment of Disinhibition

A Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of AVP-786 for the Treatment of Disinhibition in Patients With Neurodegenerative Disorders

Treatment of disinhibition syndrome in participants with Neurodegenerative Disorder.

Eligible participants for this study must have a diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Disorder and must exhibit disinhibition syndrome of sufficient severity to warrant treatment.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study consisting of two 6-week treatment periods.

Approximately 12 participants will be enrolled at approximately 2 centers in the United States.

Following screening procedures for assessment of inclusion and exclusion criteria, eligible participants will be randomized into the study.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Documented diagnosis of a Neurodegenerative Disorder including frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DBL), vascular cognitive disorders, or Huntington's disease, at least 3 months prior to Baseline
• The participant has behavior from 2 of the 3 categories of disinhibited behavior from the definition of the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia
• The behavioral changes are not due to a pre-existing major psychiatric disorder (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disease, etc.) and are not due to the direct effect of systemic illness, drug action, or substance use
• Disinhibition scale score of ≥4 on the 3 core disinhibition items of the Frontal Behavioral Inventory (FBI) at Screening and Baseline

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants with symptoms of disinhibition that is not secondary to Neurodegenerative Disorders
• Participants with myasthenia gravis
• Participants with co-existent clinically significant or unstable systemic diseases that could confound the interpretation of the safety results of the study (e.g., malignancy [except skin basal-cell carcinoma or untreated prostate cancer], poorly controlled diabetes, poorly controlled hypertension, unstable pulmonary, renal or hepatic disease, unstable ischemic cardiac disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, or unstable valvular heart disease)
