Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 70 (ADAS-Cog 70) at Week 12Baseline, Week 12

ADAS-cog is a structured scale assessing the severity of cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease. It comprises of following 11 items (range): word recall (0-10), naming objects and fingers (0-5), following commands (0-5), constructional praxis (0-5), ideational praxis (0-5), orientation (0-8), word recognition (0-12), recall of test instructions (0-5), spoken language ability (0-5), word-finding difficulty (0-5), comprehension of spoken language (0-5). Total ADAS-cog 70 score was sum of all items and ranged from 0 (least impairment) to 70 (most severe impairment), higher score indicating worse cognition.

Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 70 (ADAS-Cog 70) Score at BaselineBaseline (Day 1)

ADAS-cog is a structured scale assessing the severity of cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease. It comprises of following 11 items (range): word recall (0-10), naming objects and fingers (0-5), following commands (0-5), constructional praxis (0-5), ideational praxis (0-5), orientation (0-8), word recognition (0-12), recall of test instructions (0-5), spoken language ability (0-5), word-finding difficulty (0-5), comprehension of spoken language (0-5). Total ADAS-cog 70 score was sum of all items and ranged from 0 (least impairment) to 70 (most severe impairment), higher score indicating worse cognition.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) Total Score at Week 3, 6, 9 and 12Baseline, Week 3, 6, 9, 12

NPI total score evaluates disturbances in 12 behavioral domains: delusions, hallucinations, agitation/aggression, depression/dysphoria, anxiety, elation/euphoria, apathy/indifference, disinhibition, irritability/lability, motor disturbance, appetite/eating and night time behavior. NPI total score ranged from 0 (minimum severity) to 144 (maximum severity); higher score indicates greater behavioral disturbances.

Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I)Week 3, 6, 9, 12

CGI-I is a 7-point clinician rated scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), or 3 (minimally improved) on the scale.
