Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Japan Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-J Cog)
Baseline and 24 weeks

ADAS-J cog is the Japanese version of the cognitive function subscale of the Alzheimer's disease assessment scale (ADAS). This scale is used to detect changes in cognitive function in individuals with Alzheimer disease on the basis of three domains: memory, language and behavior. The minimum score is zero (0) and means well cognitive function. The maximum total score is 70 points, and the larger the score, the more severe the degree of impairment.

Distribution of Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change Plus - Japan (CIBIC Plus-J)
24 weeks

CIBIC plus-J is the Japanese version of the Clinician's Interview-based Impression of Change plus the caregiver's input (CIBIC plus). It is a seven-point categorical assessment scale for evaluating the efficacy of antidementia drugs, ranging from "markedly improved" to "markedly worse".

The primary end point occurs at Week 8. The primary outcome measures will be tolerability and safety through rates of adverse events.
Change from baseline to week 26 in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive portion (ADAS-cog)
Change from baseline to the end of the study in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Japan cognitive subscale (ADAS-J cog) and the Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change plus - Japan (CIBIC plus-J)
The primary outcome is safety as measured by adverse events, laboratory tests, vital signs, weight, physical exam and electrocardiogram
Hourly mean heart rates and PR intervals during each of the 24-hour Holter monitoring periods; Twenty-four hour mean, minimum and maximum heart rates and PR intervals during each of the 24-hour Holter monitoring periods
