Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Change from Baseline in the Clinical Dementia Rating scale - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)
Baseline and Week 72

The CDR is a measure of cognition and function, widely used in clinical research in AD. The scale assesses six domains: Memory, Orientation, Judgment \& Problem Solving, Community Affairs, Home \& Hobbies, and Personal Care. Based on in-depth semi-structured interview, each domain is assigned a score, which is summed to obtain the Sum of Boxes (SB) score, ranging from 0 to 18 with higher scores indicating worse condition

The composite of PAV-free survival and change in ALSFRS-R. Analysis method: Combined Assessment of Function and Survival (CAFS)
Baseline to DB Week 40

To compare the efficacy of VHB937 vs. placebo on a composite of permanent assisted ventilation (PAV) free survival and function in DB epoch

Secondary Endpoints
Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
From First treatment to end of study (up to 63 months approximately)
Change from Baseline in Clinical Dementia Rating scale - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)
Baseline over time until Week 72
