Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-related safety and efficacy of multiple oral dosages of ELND005 as treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Detailed Description
ELND005 (formerly known as AZD-103), scyllo-inositol, is being investigated as an orally administered treatment for AD. ELND005 may prevent or inhibit the build up of amyloid protein in the brains of AD patients. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, safety and efficacy study of oral ELND005 in male and female participants aged 50-85 years with mild to moderate AD. Approximately 340 patients will be enrolled into the study at approximately 65 study sites. Patients will be randomized to receive either ELND005 or placebo. Each patient's participation will last approximately 18 months.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB) Z-score (Full Analysis Set; FAS)
Time Frame: Baseline and 78 weeks
The NTB assessment is comprised of 9 instruments that measure cognition and executive function. Three of these tests measure immediate memory, next three measure delayed memory, and remaining three assess executive function. The total score is a weighted mean of the nine tests, referred to as the Z-score. Typically, scores range from -3 and 3, with lower scores suggesting greater cognitive impairment.
Additional Analysis of Primary Outcome Measure: Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB) Z-score (Per Protocol Set; PPS)

Change From Baseline to Week 78 in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) Score (Full Analysis Set; FAS)
Time Frame: Baseline and 78 weeks
The ADCS-ADL is a 23-item scale that measures a subject's functional abilities as assessed by the subject's caregiver. This scale ranges from 0 to 78, with lower scores suggesting greater functional impairment.
