Evaluate the safety and tolerability 80 mg neflamapimod given twice daily in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.
The safety and tolerability of 80 mg neflamapimod given twice daily in patients with dementia with lewy bodies will be evaluated via the incidence of treatment-emergent Adverse events (AEs) and Serious adverse events (SAEs) during 24 weeks of treatment
Time frame: From enrollment until the end of treatment at 24 weeks
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of 80mg neflamapimod given twice daily in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.
The safety and tolerability of 80 mg neflamapimod given twice daily in patients with dementia with lewy bodies will be evaluated via the incidence of elevations in amino-alanine transferase (ALT) and/or aspartate amino-transferase (AST) ≥ three times the upper limit of normal during 24 weeks of treatment
Time frame: From enrollment until the end of treatment at 24 weeks
Evaluate the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of 80mg neflamapimod given twice daily in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.
The maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of 80 mg neflamapimod given twice daily in patients with dementia with lewy bodies will be evaluated via mean (with 95% confidence interval) plasma drug concentration at steady state during 24 weeks of treatment with neflamapimod 80mg BID.
Time frame: From enrollment until the end of treatment at 24 weeks
Evaluate the trough plasma concentration (Ctrough) of 80mg neflamapimod given twice daily in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.
The trough plasma concentration (Ctrough) of 80 mg neflamapimod given twice daily in patients with dementia with lewy bodies will be evaluated via mean (with 95% confidence interval) plasma drug concentration at steady state during 24 weeks of treatment with neflamapimod 80mg BID.
Time frame: From enrollment until the end of treatment at 24 weeks

Change in ADNI-EF composite score from baseline to 24 weeks
Effects of neflamapimod treatment will be assessed via changes in the mean composite score for Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative Executive Functioning composite scale (ADNI-EF) from baseline to 24 weeks where composite scores range from -3.0 to 3.0 and a positive change in composite score indicates improvement in cognition and a negative change in composite score indicates a worsening in cognition.
Time frame: From enrollment until the end of treatment at 24 weeks
Change in CDR-SB score from baseline to 24 weeks
Effects of neflamapimod treatment will be assessed via changes in the Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) score from baseline to 24 weeks. CDR-SB scores range from 0 to 18 with a higher score indicating worsening of cognitive impairment.
Time frame: From enrollment until the end of treatment at 24 weeks
Change in TUG test results from baseline to 24 weeks
Effects of neflamapimod treatment will be assessed via changes in Timed Up and Go (TUG) test results from baseline to 24 weeks. TUG scores typically range from 6 to 20 seconds with a lower score indicating better mobility and a higher score indicating worse mobility.
Time frame: From enrollment until the end of treatment at 24 weeks
