Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Ages =55 and =85 years

- Informed consent form (ICF) signed by the subject or legally acceptable representative
before any study-specific procedures for the subject are performed and an ICF signed
by the support person/caregiver before any study-specific procedures for the support
person/caregiver are performed

- Clinical diagnosis of dementia due to probable AD consistent with criteria established
by a workgroup of the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Disease
Association

- Clinical decline within 12 months before screening and onset of symptoms at least 12
months or longer before screening, which may include any documented cognition,
functional, or other objective assessment or the clinical judgment of the investigator
or the subject's referring physician that the subject has experienced a clinical
decline within the last 12 months

- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan performed within 12
months before screening, with findings consistent with the diagnosis of dementia due
to AD without any other clinically significant comorbid pathologies. If an MRI or CT
scan is unavailable or occurred greater than 12 months before screening, this
assessment should be completed and the findings confirmed before the subject enters
the run-in period (Day -14) (copy of the report will be available at the study site)

- Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score =14 and =24 at screening and confirmed on
Day 1 prior to randomization (fluctuations of ±2 points are acceptable on Day
1/baseline)

screening and confirmed on Day 1 prior to randomization

- Modified Hachinski Ischemic Scale (mHIS) score =4 at screening

- Fertile, sexually active subjects (men and women) must use an effective method of
contraception during the study. Female subjects and the female partner of male
subjects must be surgically sterile (hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation),
postmenopausal for at least 1-year, or willing to practice adequate methods of
contraception if of childbearing potential (defined as consistent use of combined
effective methods of contraception [including at least 1 barrier method])

- Reliable and capable support person/caregiver, who if not living in the same
household, interacts with the subject approximately 4 times per week and will be
available to attend clinic visits in person when possible

- Subject living at home, senior residential setting, or an institutional setting
without the need for continuous (ie, 24-hour) nursing care

- General health status acceptable for participation in a 26-week study

- Fluency (oral and written) in the language in which the standardized tests will be
administered

- Receiving a stable dose of an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) (donepezil,
rivastigmine or galantamine) for at least 3 months (90 days) before screening and with
continuous dosing for at least 6 months OR not presently receiving an AChEI (at least
30 days before screening), but with a history of previous AChEI treatment (subjects
receiving donepezil 23 mg currently or within 3 months before screening are
ineligible)
Minimum age
55 Years
Maximum age
85 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?

hormone level and thyroid supplementation dose must be stable for at least 6 months
before screening)

- Insufficiently controlled diabetes mellitus (in the judgment of the investigator) or
requiring insulin

carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ or localized prostate cancer)

- Female subjects who are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the
study

- Unstable medical condition that is clinically significant in the judgment of the
investigator

- Alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate transaminase (AST) >2.5 times the upper limit
of normal

- History of more than 1 myocardial infarction within 5 years before screening

- Clinically significant (in the judgment of the investigator) cardiac arrhythmia
(including atrial fibrillation), cardiomyopathy, or cardiac conduction defect
(subjects with a pacemaker are acceptable)

- Symptomatic hypotension or hypertension (supine diastolic blood pressure >95 mmHg) (in
the judgment of the investigator)

- Clinically significant abnormality on screening or baseline electrocardiogram (ECG),
including but not necessarily limited to a confirmed corrected QT interval (QTc) value
=450 msec for males or =470 msec for females. In subjects with a QRS value >120msec,
those with a QTc value <500 msec may be eligible following discussion with the Medical
Monitor.

- Stroke within 18 months before screening, or history of a stroke concomitant with
onset of dementia

- History of brain tumor, subdural hematoma, or other clinically significant (in the
judgment of the investigator) space-occupying lesion on CT or MRI

Dementia, Parkinson's disease)

- Subjects with no history of prior treatment with an AChEI (donepezil, rivastigmine, or
galantamine)

- Antipsychotics; low doses (in the judgment of the investigator, except clozapine) are
allowed only if given for sleep disturbances, agitation and/or aggression, and only if
the subject has received a stable dose for at least 3 months before screening (but not
within 8 hours before any cognitive test)

- Tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors; all other antidepressants
are allowed only if the subject has received a stable dose for at least 3 months
before screening

- Antiepileptic medications if taken for control of seizures

of the investigator
