PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 48 hours post start of study drug infusion

Hopkins Verbal Learning Test - Revised (HVLT-R) delayed recall; change from baseline. HVLT consists of a 12-item word list drawn from 3 semantic categories, presented in 3 learning trials. Score range = 0-12. The lower the number, the more impaired. Repeatable Battery of Assessments for Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) figure recall; change from baseline. Total Score Range: 0-20. Each portion of the drawing is scored 1 point for correctness and completeness and 1 point for being placed properly in relation to the rest of the drawing. Drawing and placement scores are summed for the item total. To obtain subtest total score, the drawing and placement scores are summed for each item. The lower the number, the more impaired.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Specified timepoints within 2 weeks post study drug infusion

HVLT-R (Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised™) delayed recall (change from baseline). A 12-item word list: 3 learning trials. Score range = 0-12. The lower the number, the more impaired. Repeatable Battery of Assessments for Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) figure recall; change from baseline. Score Range: 0-20. The lower the number, the more impaired. Digit Symbol Coding (observed), Score range: 0-125. The lower the number, the more impaired. Clinical Dementia Rating- Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB, observed). Sum of 6 investigated domains (Memory, Orientation, Judgment and Problem Solving, Community Affairs, Home and Hobbies, Personal Care). Each subtest range is 0-3; Sum of all 6 subtest scores gives total CDR-SB score (range= 0-18).The higher the number, the more impaired. Mini Mental State Exam, version 2 (MMSE-2), change from baseline. The MMSE-2 measures aspects of cognitionon a scale of 0-30. Lower scores indicate greater cognitive impairment.
