Hope for lewy body dementia psychosis: new drug enters final testing phase
NCT ID NCT07095465
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called ACP-204 for treating psychosis (hallucinations or delusions) in people with Lewy body dementia. It is a 52-week open-label extension, meaning all 126 participants will receive the drug. The main goal is to check for side effects over the long term. Participants must have completed a prior study of the same drug.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ACP-204 (a drug taken orally once daily)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a long-term treatment option for psychosis in people with Lewy body dementia, helping manage symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study, not a new trial, and focuses on safety. It is still early to know if the drug works well long-term, and side effects are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * The subject may benefit from long-term therapy with open-label ACP-204 treatment in the judgment of the Investigator * Subject has completed Visit 6 (EOT) of the antecedent ACP-204-012 study and did not have an early discontinuation from the antecedent study * Can complete all study visits with a study partner/caregiver * Can understand the nature of the study and protocol requirements and provide written informed consent. If the subject is deemed not competent to provide informed consent, the following requirements for consent must be met: 1. The subject's LAR (or study partner/caregiver, if local regulations allow) must provide written informed consent. 2. The subject must provide written (if capable) informed assent per local regulations * If the subject is a female, she must be of nonchildbearing potential * If the subject is male, he must agree to the following during the study intervention period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study drug: 1. Refrain from donating sperm, AND 2. Either * Be abstinent from sexual intercourse where pregnancy can occur (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent OR * Use a condom and subject's female partner (if of childbearing potential and not pregnant) must use an additional contraceptive method Exclusion Criteria: * Is judged by the Investigator or the Medical Monitor to be inappropriate for the study for any reason * Is in hospice, is receiving end-of-life palliative care, or is bedridden * Has a heart rate \<50 beats per minute, as measured by vital signs at Baseline (EOT visit of the antecedent study). If bradycardia is secondary to iatrogenic or treatable causes and these causes are addressed, a heart rate assessment can be repeated. * Has a BMI \<18.5 kg/m2 or known unintentional weight loss ≥7% of body weight over past 6 months * Has a clinically significant laboratory abnormality in the antecedent ACP-204-012 study, excepting at ACP-204-012 EOT, that in the judgment of the Investigator or Medical Monitor, will either: 1. jeopardize the safe participation of the subject in this study; OR 2. interfere with the conduct or interpretation of safety or efficacy evaluations in the study * Is actively suicidal at Visit 1 (Baseline, EOT visit of the antecedent study) * Has a neurologic, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, hematologic, or other medical or mental disorder, including cancer or malignancies that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would increase the risk associated with taking study medication or significantly interfere with the conduct or interpretation of the study * Requires treatment with a medication or other substance that is prohibited by the protocol or will be used in a way that violates a use restriction
