Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Lornoxicam in Patients With Mild to Moderate Probable Alzheimer´s Disease. (NCT NCT01117948)

NCT ID: NCT01117948

Last Updated: 2013-02-06

Results Overview

Alzheimer's disease Assessment Scale, Cognitive Subscale (15 item) Higher scores indicate cognitive impairment. All items are assessed by independent rater (psychologists). The score goes from 0 points (no cognitive impairment) to 95 points (maximum impairment in all 15 items). Primary Outcome Measure is the change from baseline ADAS-cog+ score to the score after 26 weeks (end of double blind).
