Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with MCI due to AD meeting the inclusion criteria and without major exclusion conditions.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with non-AD dementias, active liver infection markers, or other exclusion criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This randomized, double-blind study will enroll about 360 participants at up to 50 sites in China to test RP902 tablets versus placebo over 48 weeks, with optional extension and safety follow-up. Participants must have MCI per NIA-AA criteria, MMSE ≥ 24, CDR-GS 0.5, memory ≥ 0.5, and low depression and vascular risk scores. The trial includes a screening period (up to 4 weeks), a 48-week treatment period, and an optional extension (96 weeks) or a 4-week post-dose safety follow-up. The study aims to inform the design of a potential Phase III trial and assess preliminary efficacy and safety in this population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, RP902 could provide a new option to slow cognitive symptoms in MCI linked to AD.
How similar studies have gone: Other similar approaches have shown mixed results; this study explores safety and initial efficacy in a larger Phase II population.
