Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale score at Month 24

    MMSE is a brief 30-point questionnaire test that is used for the assessment of dementia patients' cognitive impairment. Evaluation of points are as: 24-30 = No cognitive impairment, 18-23 = Mild cognitive impairment, 0-17 = Severe cognitive impairment. Lower scores indicate worsening.

    Baseline, Month 24

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Change from baseline in clinical global impression (CGI) scale score at Month 24

    Baseline, Month 24

  • Change from baseline in Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q) at Month 24

    Baseline, Month 24

  • Change from baseline in Zarit caregiver burden scale score at Month 24

    Baseline, Month 24

  • Change from baseline in Kaplan-Meier estimate at Month 24

    Baseline, Month 24

  • Number of patients with adverse events

    Up to 24 months
