Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Male or female patients aged ≥ 60 years.
- •Patient with a diagnosis of probable AD

- •A Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score of 20-26
- •With a minimum of educational background
- •Naïve to anti-dementia treatment
- •MRI assessment which corroborates the clinical diagnosis (hippocampal atrophy) and excludes other potential causes of dementia especially cerebrovascular lesions
- •If available, Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) classical biomarkers should be at levels which corroborate the clinical diagnosis
- •Ambulatory patient living at home with a caregiver available and living in the same household or interacting with the patient daily and available if necessary to ensure administration of the investigational product
- •Absence of major or severe depressive disease
Exclusion Criteria
- •Early onset of dementia, i.e. before 60 years old to avoid hereditary AD forms

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Time Frame: throughout the 12-week study period.
Change From Baseline in the total score of the 11-item Alzheimer´s Disease Assessment Scale- Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog)
Time Frame: Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4)
Scores on the ADAS-Cog range from 0-70 with higher scores indicating greater cognitive impairment.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in the score of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT)(1 (baseline) and V4 (end of study, after 12 weeks of treatment))
- Change From Baseline in the time score of the Trail Making Test - part A(Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4))
- Change From Baseline in the time score of the Trail Making Test - part B(Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4))
- Change From Baseline in the score of the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST)(Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4))
- Change From Baseline in the score of the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale(1 (baseline) and V4 (end of study, after 12 weeks of treatment))
- Change From Baseline in the speed to perform the Zazzo's Cancellation Test(Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4))
- Change From Baseline in the score of the Zazzo's Cancellation Test(Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4))
- Change From Baseline in the score of the 15-second Isaacs Set Test(Visit V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (visits V2, V3 and V4))
- Change From Baseline in the score of the Apathy Inventory (AI) scale(1 (baseline) and V4 (end of study, after 12 weeks of treatment))
- Change From Baseline in the score of the 4-item Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale (IADL-PAQUID)(V0 (train), V1 (baseline), and every 4 weeks (V2, V3 and V4))
