PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 52, and Week 52 LOCF

Population: Efficacy Analysis Set: subjects who received at least one dose of E2020 and also provided safety assessment data after baseline, with at least one available efficacy evaluation. Two subjects whose diagnosis was suspected not to meet clinical criteria of probable DLB and 2 subjects with lack of efficacy data were excluded from the efficacy analysis.

MMSE measured general cognitive functioning: orientation, memory, attention, calculation, language, visuospatial functions. Total score derived from sub-scores; total ranged from 0 - 30, where a higher score indicated better cognitive state.

Placebo/E2020
n=28 Participants
Of the 104 patients of Arm 1, Arm 2 is patients from the placebo group in the preceding a 12-week, randomized, placebo-controlled trial (registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00543855). That is to say Arm 1 consisted of 28 patients (Arm 2) from the placebo group in the preceding trial, and 76 patients from any of the E2020 group (3-mg group, 5-mg group, or 10-mg group).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 52, and Week 52 LOCF

Population: Efficacy Analysis Set
