Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a efficacy and safety study evaluating new treatment for subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a Phase 2 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABT-126 in approximately 260 adults with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). Subjects will be randomized to one of the four treatment groups (ABT-126, donepezil, or placebo) for a 12-week Treatment Period. Acronyms are listed in the secondary outcome section, below, you will find a list of the acronyms defined:

* MMSE - Mini Mental Status Exam
* QoL-AD - Quality of Life - Alzheimer's Disease
* CIBIC-plus - Clinician Interview-Based Impression of Change
* NPI - Neuropsychiatric Inventory
* CSDD - The Cornell Scale for depression in Dementia
* ADCS-ADL - Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living
