简要总结
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Huperzine A sustained release tablets in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease.
详细描述
The primary aim of this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo- and active-controlled therapeutic trial is to determine whether treatment with huperzine A sustained-release tablets can improve cognitive function in individuals with AD.
A total of 390 participants will be randomly assigned to three groups of equal size. This will allow a comparison of huperzine A sustained-release tablets 400µg once a day, huperzine A tablets 200µg twice a day, and placebo.
The study is divided into 2 periods:
- A two-week placebo run-in period
- A 6-month double blind treatment period, consisting of three months of titration and three months of fixed dose treatment.
