Evidence outlook · lead readout
NCT02580305 · Alzheimer's Disease
The lead readout missed its primary endpoint. The grade and rationale below record what the trial was designed to show and what it found.
NCT02580305: This was a large, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial using a well-established cognitive scale as its main measure, which is a strong design. But neither the low-dose group (p=0.41) nor the high-dose group (p=0.90) showed a statistically meaningful difference from placebo on that measure, so the trial does not show masupirdine improved cognition beyond placebo at either dose.
