Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - GSK933776
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo to match GSK933776

Experimental: Part A - Part A will be a single-blind, single dose, placebo controlled, dose escalation study in up to five consecutive cohorts of Alzheimers Disease subjects. Each subject will receive a single infusion of GSK933776 or placebo. The dose for the first cohort will be 0.001 mg/kg. The proposed nominal doses for subsequent cohorts are 0.01, 0.1, 0.5 and 3 mg/kg, but these may be altered based on the outcome of the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data of the preceding group(s). The maximum possible dose will be 20 mg/kg, although the planned top dose is 18 mg/kg

Experimental: Part B - Part B will be a single-blind, repeat dose, placebo controlled dose escalation design. It is proposed that there will be initially 3 cohorts of AD subjects. However up to 5 cohorts may be recruited if required in order to characterise GSK933776 fully.Each cohort will consist of eight subjects (six active, two placebo) who will each receive a maximum of three infusions of GSK933776 or placebo. Dosing in Part B may proceed in parallel with Part A following satisfactory review of minimum data sets as below:
First cohort in Part B: at least 3 weeks' data from the Part A dose that is the same dose level as that planned for Part B Second cohort in Part B: at least 3 weeks PK data and 8 weeks safety data following the first dose from all the subjects on active treatment in the preceding Part B cohort plus a satisfactory outcome of the PIB Subsequent cohorts in Part B: at least 3 weeks PK data and 8 weeks safety data follow


Treatment: Drugs: GSK933776
Part A planned doses cohort 1 to cohort 3 0.001 mg/kg, 0.01 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg.
Part B planned doses cohort 4 to cohort 7 0.1 mg/kg, 1mg/kg, 3mg/kg and 10 mg/kg

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo to match GSK933776
Part A first 2 cohorts 5 patients per cohort 2 placebo and 3 active third cohort part A 2 placebo 6 active. Part B 8 patients per cohort 2 placebo 6 active.

Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria:

- History and/or evidence of any other central nervous system (CNS) disorder that could
be interpreted as a cause of dementia.

- Subjects currently living in a nursing home.

- Subjects who are unable to provide informed consent due to cognitive status

- Screening brain MRI with 1 or more of the following conditions: not consistent with
AD, evidence of other CNS conditions, shows more than minimal vascular changes, more
than 3 microhaemorrhage lesions.

- Focal findings on the neurological exam.

- Any contraindication to lumbar puncture.

- History or evidence of significant psychiatric illness such as schizophrenia or
bipolar affective disorder or significant neurological disease other than AD.

- TIA/stroke in the last 3 years, type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, active
cardiovascular disease, or other uncontrolled risk factors for stroke.

- Current or recent drug or alcohol abuse or dependence or recent or remote history of
the same if that could be a contributing factor to the dementia.

- History or evidence of any significant autoimmune disease or disorder.

- History of seizures (excluding febrile seizures in childhood), current blood clotting
or bleeding disorder or conditions that predispose to these (e.g. cancer), current
clinically significant systemic illness or significant infection within 30 days that
is likely to result in deterioration of the subject's condition or affect the
subject's safety during the study.

- History of cerebral amyloid antiopathy and/or hypertensive cerebral haemorrhage or
with a known risk of intercerebral haemorrhage/microhaemorrhage.

- Treatment which cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine or selegiline unless the therapy
was instituted at least 3 months prior to the administration of GSK933776, at a stable
dosage in the 2 months prior and the same regimen will be continued for the duration
of the trial and the subject is free from any clinically significant side effects
attributable to the drug.

- Subjects who have discontinued cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, cognitive
enhancing agents, or drugs that potentially affect cognition in the 60 days prior to
screening.

- Unless maintained on a stable dose regimen for at least 30 days prior to screening,
any other medications with the potential to affect cognition.
