Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention is LYN-157, a extended release (ER) prototype capsule containing memantine hydrochloride (HCl) (170 mg) and donepezil HCl (70 mg). The rationale for the development of this ER formulation is to reduce the frequency of dosing orally administered memantine and donepezil HCl medications to once weekly or less and thereby improving the management of Alzheimer's disease.
The dose of LYN-157 to be given is a single Size 00EL capsule containing 170 mg memantine HCl and 70 mg donepezil HCl within the ER formulation (stellate). One capsule will be administered to the participant. Dose titration over 28 days of the combination of a daily memantine HCl extended release oral capsule to 28 mg and a donepezil HCl oral tablet to 10 mg, will be accomplished according to the following regimen as oral administration:
Regimen 1: Day 1-3 (7 mg memantine, 5 mg donepezil)
Regimen 2: Day 4-7 (14 mg memantine, 5 mg donepezil)
Regimen 3: Day 8-14 (21 mg memantine, 10 mg donepezil)
Regimen 4: Day 15-28 (28 mg memantine, 10 mg donepezil).
Each participant will have a clinic visit on the first day of each of the dosing regimens (and Day 22), where the respective doses will be self-administered with a trained nurse (at a minimum) present. Until the remainder of the regimen, the participant will orally self-administer daily at home, with calls from the clinic to verify adherence, then return to the clinic for the next scheduled regimen (also Day 22) or entry to the inpatient unit.
Following the completion of the dose titration regimens, all participants will receive a single capsule dose of LYN-157 which will be administered (after fasting, a low fat meal or a high fat meal) by a trained nurse (at a minimum) in a clinic for both Sentinel and Main, if required, dropouts will be replaced at the discretion of the PI. Participants will be randomised at the time of admission to the inpatient clinic (Day 27). Block randomisation will be associated with the administration condition (fasted, low- or high-fat meal) pre-dose and defined by the electronic data capture system.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 321788 0
Safety and tolerability of a LYN-157 capsule containing memantine hydrochloride and donepezil hydrochloride assessed from adverse event (AEs), i.e.,. AE solicitation/self report (e.g., nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort), directed physical exams, vital signs, safety laboratory assessments, electrocardiograms.
Timepoint [1] 321788 0
Adverse events will be collected at 6 and 12 hours and daily for 7 days during an inpatient admission for observation after dosing
Directed physical exams will be performed at the time of dose escalation (Day 1) and subsequently at Day 27 (admission to inpatient unit), Day 29 (prior to dosing and 12 hr post dose), Day 33, Day 36 and at outpatient visits (Day 38, 43, 50 and 57)
Vital signs will be collected prior to dosing and 4, 12 hrs post dose on Days 29 and 32. Otherwise, once daily while inpatient and at every clinic visit.
Safety labs will be assessed at admission and time of discharge from the inpatient clinic.
Electrocardiograms will be performed during dose escalation on Days 4, 8, 15; and pre-dose and 4 hrs post dose on Day 29 and thereafter on Days 32 and 35.
