The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the oral medication IGC-AD1, a THC-based (Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol) formulation administered twice a day on Agitation in patients with mild to severe dementia from Alzheimer's.
CALMA is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The study targets participants aged 60 and older with mild to severe Alzheimer's dementia who have exhibited clinically significant agitation for at least two weeks prior to enrollment. Agitation caused by other conditions or transient symptoms must be ruled out. Eligibility is determined by a baseline Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-12), Agitation subscale score of ≥4 and the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) criteria for agitation. The investigational medication is an oral solution containing two active ingredients: delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and melatonin. The treatment is administered for 42 days, followed by a two-day taper period at the end of the study. Safety oversight includes daily calls on days 2, 3, and 4, transitioning to calls every third day thereafter. These calls will review study partners logbook entries, changes in concomitant medications, and adverse events. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of IGC-AD1 on agitation, measured by changes in the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) scores from baseline to the End of treatment (EOT). The secondary objective is to assess efficacy by examining CMAI score changes from baseline to week two. Additionally, exploratory objectives are outlined in separate documentation. Blood samples will be collected during the trial for sparse pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, blood-based CNS biomarker, and genotyping.
