Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Donepezil 5-10 mg

There will be a 14 day period when all participants will receive placebo, followed by 5 mg donepezil, once daily for 14 days then titrated to 10 mg donepezil once daily for 70 days. Participants may then receive open-label donepezil for an additional 24 weeks.

Comparator: Placebo 5mg (run in)

Intervention Type DRUG

Matching placebo to donepezil - 5 mg capsules orally for 14 day run in prior to randomization.

Donepezil 5 - 10 mg

Intervention Type DRUG
