Effects of azeliragon on ADAS‐cog and CDR domains and individual items in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D)

Azeliragon, an oral antagonist of the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE), was evaluated in an 18‐month Phase 3 study as a treatment for patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (the STEADFAST Study). Post‐hoc analyses in a T2D subgroup (HbA1c ≥ 6.5%) found that azeliragon‐treated patients exhibited less cognitive decline (ADAS‐cog11), less whole brain atrophy, less hippocampal atrophy, less ventricular enlargement, and reduced plasma inflammatory cytokine concentrations compared to patients treated with placebo. The current retrospective exploratory analysis was performed to evaluate ADAS‐cog and CDR symptom domains and individual test items to ascertain which were sensitive to treatment effects.
