Brief Summary

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

This evaluation of the efficacy and safety of AXONA will be a chart review carried out at 16 practices in which AXONA has been prescribed for the treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate AD. Efficacy of AXONA will be assessed by comparison of patient status before and after initiation of treatment.

Detailed Description

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

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of AXONA (medium chain triglycerides \[MCTs\]) when used alone or in combination with other agents in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) in routine clinical practice.
