Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants for Change From Baseline for Clinical Global Impressions of Improvement (CGI-I) at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12.
CGI-I is a 7-point physician rated scale ranging from very much improved to very much worse.
Number of Participants for Change From Baseline for the Caregiver's Assessment of Improvement at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12.
The caregiver's assessment improvement was a 5-point rated scale ranging from much improved to much worse to the question 'compared to the severity of your relative's condition at baseline, how much do you feel it has changed?'.
Change From Baseline in the Participant's Assessment for Quality of Life for Alzheimer's Dementia (QoL-AD) Overall and Subscale Scores at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12.
QoL-AD was comprised of 13 individual items, each measured on a 4-point Likert scale (ranging from 1 \[poor\] to 4 \[excellent\]). Overall QoL-AD score was the sum of the scores for the 13 individual items and ranged from 13 to 52, with higher scores indicating a higher health related quality of life.

Overall QoL-AD score was the sum of the scores for the 13 individual items and ranged from 13 to 52, with higher scores indicating a higher health related quality of life.
