Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total Score of Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognition Subscale (ADAS-COG)From Best Total Score (0) to Worst Total Score (70)Baseline to 16 weeks

Change from baseline to week 16 of the double blind treatment in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognition Subscale (ADAS-COG) total score The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale if used for assessing the severity of dysfuncion and for research in patients with AD, particularly in clinical drug trials. It consists of 11 items testing orientatin, memory, word usage and recognition, receptive speech, spatial abilities, ideational praxis, ability to follow instructions, spontanious speech abilities, and comprehension. The higher the overall score (maximum 70), the more severe the dysfunction/impairment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinicians Interview Based Impression of Change (CIBIC)-PlusBaseline to 16 weeks

Clinicians Interview Based Impression of Change (CIBIC)-Plus-Plus scores at week 16 of the double blind treatment.

CIBIC-Plus is ranged between 1 and 7 (1=very much improved, 4=no change, and 7=very much worsened). We were expecting smaller value of CIBIC-Plus at the study end.

Disability Assessment for Dementia (DAD)Baseline to 16 Weeks

Change from baseline to week 16 of the double blind treatment in the Disability Assessment for Dementia (DAD) scores.

The DAD is administered as a clinician-assisted interview with the caregiver and was developed to assess functional abilities in ADLs in community-dwelling dementia patients. The scale consists of 40 questions assessing basic and instumental ADLs. A total score is obtained by adding the rating for each question and converting this total score out of 100. The items rated N/A are not considered for the total score. Higher scores represent less disability in activities of daily living (ADL) while lower scores indicate more dysfunction.
