Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of the Efficacy of Varenicline on Cognition, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics in Subjects With Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer's Disease (NCT NCT00744978)

NCT ID: NCT00744978

Last Updated: 2011-11-22

Results Overview

12-item scale to assess severity of cognitive impairment in AD. Items include word recall, naming objects and fingers, following commands, constructional praxis, ideational praxis, orientation, word recognition, spoken language ability, comprehension of spoken language, word finding difficulty in spontaneous speech, remembering test instructions, and concentration/distractibility. Total score range from 0-75 with 75 indicating worse cognition.

Participant Flow

Each participant was to complete a 3-week placebo run-in period then receive a treatment sequence of either varenicline followed by placebo, or placebo followed by varenicline, separated by a 3-week placebo washout period. Of 92 participants screened, 66 participants were randomized to treatment.
