Study of BHV-4157 in Alzheimer's Disease

Summary

Preclinical models suggest that riluzole, the active metabolite of BHV-4157, may protect from AD-related pathology and cognitive dysfunction. Titrated dose of BHV-4157 to 280 mg, or placebo, were administered orally once daily. Duration of treatment is 48 weeks in double-blind phase. There is also a screening period of up to 42 days; and a 4-week post-treatment observation period. Eligible participants who completed the double-blind treatment phase had the opportunity to receive open-label troriluzole for up to 48 weeks in an open-label extension (OLE) phase.
