Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog 14) Score at Week 12
Week 12

The ADAS-Cog was designed to assess the cognitive impairments most common in AD. The ADAS-Cog-14 includes the original 11 items from the ADAS-Cog-11 \[1. Spoken language ability, 2. Comprehension of spoken language, 3. Recall of test instructions, 4. Word-findings difficulty in spontaneous speech, 5. Following commands, 6. Naming objects and fingers, 7. Constructional praxis, 8. Ideational praxis, 9. Orientation, 10. Word-recall task, 11. Word-recognition task\] and includes 3 additional tasks \[12. Number cancellation task, 13. Delayed word recall task, 14. Executive functioning\], for increased sensitivity in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. The Total Score of the ADAS-Cog-14 ranges from 0 to 90, with a higher score representing greater impairment.
