Registration Number
NCT01712074
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate safety and efficacy of PF-05212377 in subjects with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's Disease with existing neuropsychiatric symptoms on a stable dose of Donepezil. The 4-week run-in will minimize placebo effect. The 12-week treatment period is considered the minimum length necessary to reliably evaluate the effect PF-05212377 on cognition and and neuropsychiatric symptoms in this population. The 2-week washout will allow to monitor re-emergence of neuropsychiatric and cognitive symptoms.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in ADAS-cog13 Total Score at Week 16Baseline and Week 16

ADAS-cog13 (13-item ADAS cog) is a psychometric instrument that evaluates word recall, ability to follow commands, constructional praxis, naming, ideational praxis, orientation, word recognition, memory, comprehension of spoken language, word-finding, and language ability, with a measure of delayed word recall and concentration/ distractibility. The total score of the 13-item scale ranges from 0 to 85, with an increase in score indicating cognitive worsening.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) Total Score at Week 16 (Visit 5)Baseline and Week 16

The NPI evaluates both frequency and severity of 12 neuropsychiatric disturbances including delusions, hallucinations, agitation/aggression, depression/dysphoria, anxiety, elation/euphoria, apathy/indifference, disinhibition, irritability/lability, motor disturbance, nighttime behaviors, as well as appetite/eating. The NPI total score (for 12 behavioral domains) is calculated as the product of frequency and severity for each domain, and ranges from 0 to 144. An increase in score indicates a worsening of symptoms.
