Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Drug-Placebo Difference in Change From Baseline to Week 4 in the Composite Amyloid Burden of the Brain
Baseline to Week 4

The primary study endpoint for all subjects is the change from baseline to Week 4 in amyloid burden as measured by standard uptake units regional (SUVr) on amyloid brain imaging obtained through 18F-AV-45 PET

Primary Outcome by Genotype (ALL SUBJECTS)
Baseline to Week 4

This measures the change from baseline on treatment compared to placebo at week 4 on composite and regional beta amyloid burden according to ApoE genotype (E-4 carriers compared to E-4 non-carriers)

Primary Outcome by Genotype (NON ApoE4 CARRIERS)
Baseline to Week 4

Measures changes from baseline on treatment compared to placebo at week 4 on composite and regional Beta Amyloid burden according to ApoE genotype (NON ApoE4 CARRIERS)

Primary Outcome by Genotype (ApoE4 CARRIERS)
Baseline to Week 4

This measures the change from baseline on treatment compared to placebo at week 4 on composite and regional beta amyloid burden according to ApoE genotype (E-4 carriers)

Primary Outcome by Genotype (HETEROZYGOTE ApoE4 CARRIERS)
Baseline to Week 4

This measures the change from baseline on treatment compared to placebo at week 4 on composite and regional beta amyloid burden according to ApoE genotype (HETEROZYGOTE ApoE4 CARRIERS)

Primary Outcome by Genotype (HOMOZYGOTE ApoE4 CARRIERS)
Baseline to Week 4

This measures the change from baseline on treatment compared to placebo at week 4 on composite and regional beta amyloid burden according to ApoE genotype (HOMOZYGOTE ApoE4 CARRIERS) There are no homozygote ApoE4 carriers on the placebo arm, therefore no data can be presented on this arm.
