  • The subject has a Modified Hachinski Ischemic Scale (MHIS) score of ≤ 4 at Screening Visit 1.
  • With the exception of a diagnosis of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease and the presence of stable medical conditions, the subject is in general good health, based upon the results of medical history, physical examination, vital signs, laboratory profile, and a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).
  • The subject has an identified, reliable caregiver who will provide support and ensure compliance with the study medication and procedures, and provide accurate information about the subject's status during the study.
Exclusion Criteria
  • The subject has taken galantamine or memantine within 60 days prior to Screening Visit 1.
  • The subject has received excluded concomitant medications.
  • The subject has clinically significant abnormal laboratory values at Screening Visit 1 as determined by the investigator.
