About this study

In plain language

This study checks how safe Zunveyl is and how well people handle its side effects during 12 weeks of routine care. It is for adults age 50 or older with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It also looks at changes in mood, behavior, and caregiver stress.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Zunveyl® over 12 weeks of routine clinical use in adults with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Be age 50 or older and receive care without staying in a hospital.
  • Have likely Alzheimer's disease, supported by the study's required blood test.
  • Have mild to moderate memory and thinking problems. Required SLUMS test scores are 10–18 with less than a high school education, or 10–20 with a high school education or more.
  • Be able to agree to join, or have a legally allowed person agree for you.
  • Have stable doses of allowed long-term medicines for at least 4 weeks. The study team must review medicine changes made within the past 8 weeks.
  • Have a reliable full-time caregiver or study partner with at least 20 hours of direct contact each week. They must attend required visits and report symptoms, side effects, sleep, and caregiver stress.
  • Stop medicines not allowed in the study for the required time before starting. The study team will check your medicine history.
  • You and your caregiver must be able and willing to complete all visits, tests, and follow-up.

Who can't join

  • Have dementia from another cause, or a blood test that does not support Alzheimer's disease.
  • Have been in a mental health hospital within 3 months; have active sudden confusion or loss of touch with reality; or have major depression needing new or changed medicine within 2 months.
  • Have an unstable or serious illness that could make the study unsafe or affect results. This includes certain heart problems, very abnormal kidney or liver tests, and cancer within 2 years, with some exceptions.
  • Have current diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, belly pain, or gut problems that affect how the study drug enters your body; or use medicines to treat these problems.
  • Have a history of seizures, anorexia or bulimia (eating disorders), or Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a severe skin reaction).
  • Have ever taken Zunveyl, or have an allergy or another medical reason not to take Zunveyl or medicines containing galantamine.
  • Have recently used an experimental drug or device for mood or behavior symptoms, cannot stop medicines that are not allowed, or need to start a new medicine for these symptoms during the study.
  • Have planned general surgery, an expected lifespan under 12 months, or an end-of-life care plan that conflicts with the study. Recent weight loss may also exclude you; the listing does not give a clear unit for its cutoff.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male and female outpatients aged 50 years and greater at the time of informed consent. 2. Diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease in accordance with the 2024 National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) criteria, supported by biomarker confirmation using the Fujirebio Lumipulse G pTau217/β-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio test. 3. Cognitive impairment consistent with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease, confirmed at Screening by the Saint Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS) examination, with scores meeting the following criteria based on education level: 1. Less than high school education: SLUMS score 10 -18 2. High school education or higher: SLUMS score 10 - 20 4. The participant must be capable of providing informed consent; if not, a legally authorized representative (LAR)/caregiver may provide consent in compliance with federal and Institutional Review Board (IRB) regulations. 5. Participant currently receiving non-exclusionary chronic medications are eligible, provided doses have been stable for greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 4 weeks. 6. Any recent medication changes at baseline (less than 8 weeks) should be reviewed to confirm they are not expected to confound efficacy or safety assessments. 7. Availability of a reliable full-time caregiver or study partner who serves as a knowledgeable informant and: 1. Has at least 20 hours per week of direct contact with the participant; 2. Is capable of consistently completing tolerability assessments and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) across study visits; 3.

Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to Zunveyl® or galantamine-containing products. 11. Use of an investigational drug or device for neuropsychiatric symptoms within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer prior to Baseline. 12. Life expectancy \<12 months, or a hospice/palliative plan of care inconsistent with study participation. 13.
