Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) Total Score (Changes From Baseline to 14 Months)
Baseline and 14 months

ADAS-Cog total score as a change from baseline to 14 months The ADAS-Cog Scale is a questionnaire that assesses cognitive performance in 12 different domains. The domains are: word recall, commands, constructional praxis, delayed word-recall task, naming objects/figures, ideational praxis, orientation, word recognition, remembering test instructions, comprehension, word finding difficulty, and spoken language ability. The total score ranges from 0-80 where a higher score indicates more cognitive impairment.

Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) Total Score (Changes From Baseline to 14 Months)
Baseline and 14 Months

ADCS-ADL total score as a change from baseline to 14 months The ADCS-ADL comprises 23 questions covering a wide array of activities of daily living. Many of the activities begin with an assessment of whether that activity is relevant and then, if yes, follow with an assessment of the difficulty. The total score over all activities ranges from 0-78 where a higher score indicates more autonomy (better outcome).

What is Albumin used for in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?

Albumin is being studied for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of plasma exchange with albumin in patients with ALS. The study enrolled 13 participants in Spain and has been completed.

Who makes Albumin?

Albumin is being developed by Grifols, S.A., a biopharmaceutical company. The company's stock is traded under the ticker symbol GRFS. Grifols is conducting clinical research to evaluate albumin as a potential treatment for neurological conditions.

What phase is Albumin in?

Albumin is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has been studied in completed Phase 2 trials for both Alzheimer's Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The drug is investigational and has not been approved for these indications.

What clinical trials is Albumin in?

Albumin has been studied in two completed Phase 2 clinical trials. NCT01561053 evaluated albumin and immunoglobulin in Alzheimer's Disease with 347 participants in the United States and Spain. NCT02479802 evaluated plasma exchange with albumin in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis with 13 participants in Spain.

Is Albumin the same as Grifols' albumin product?

Albumin is the investigational drug being developed by Grifols, S.A. for neurological conditions. The clinical trials NCT01561053 and NCT02479802 are evaluating albumin as a therapeutic intervention for Alzheimer's Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, respectively.
