PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Month 6

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) includes all randomized subjects, whether or not they receive any study medication, and who have at least one post-Baseline assessment. The FAS was used for all hypothesis tests of efficacy.

The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale 14 Item (ADAS-cog14) scoring range is from 0 to 90, with higher scores indicating greater cognitive impairment

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Month 6

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) includes all randomized subjects, whether or not they receive any study medication, and who have at least one post-Baseline assessment.

The Amsterdam-Instrumental Activities of Daily Living score is calculated from a questionnaire consisting of 70 items in seven categories using an item response theory method of scoring. Scores range from 20 to 80 where lower scores indicate greater functional impairment.
