Exclusion Criteria

• Patients who don't have a reliable caregiver who is in frequent contact with the patient, who will accompany the patient to the office and/or be available by telephone at designated times, and will monitor administration of prescribed medications.
• Patients who have an MRI or CT scan since the onset of symptoms of AD that is inconsistent with a diagnosis of AD.
• Patients who have received acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) or memantine for less than 4 months, or have less than 2 months of stable therapy on these treatments.
• Patients who have current serious or unstable illnesses including hepatic, renal, gastroenterologic, respiratory, cardiovascular (including ischemic heart disease), endocrinologic, neurologic (other than AD), psychiatric, immunologic, or hematologic disease and other conditions that, in the investigator or subinvestigator(s)'s opinion, could interfere with the analyses of safety and efficacy in this study.
• Patients who have a history within the last 5 years of a serious infectious disease affecting the brain (including neurosyphilis, meningitis, or encephalitis) or head trauma resulting in protracted loss of consciousness within the last 5 years, or multiple episodes of head trauma.
• Patients who have a history within the last 5 years of a primary or recurrent malignant disease with the exception of resected cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, or in situ prostate cancer with a normal PSA post-resection.
• Patients who have allergies to humanized monoclonal antibodies.
• Patients who have a history within the last 5 years of a primary or recurrent malignant disease with the exception of resected cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, or in situ prostate cancer with a normal PSA post-resection.
• Patients who have ECG abnormalities obtained that, in the opinion of the investigator, are clinically significant with regard to the subject's participation in the study, including QTc prolongation (Bazett's corrected QTc interval, QTcB; males >435 msec or females >455 msec) or abnormally wide QRS complexes (resulting from bundle-branch blocks, interventricular conduction delays, or pacemakers).
• Patients who have a current, required use or expected use of excluded drugs through the duration(These drugs include typical neuroleptics (antipsychotics). In addition, typical neuroleptics may not be taken within 4 weeks.
