Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Outpatients with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease according to the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS-ADRDA) criteria
  • having a Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) score of 10 - 22 inclusive
  • having an Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Japan cognitive subscale (ADAS-J cog) score of at least 18

  • Patients with multi-infarct dementia (brought on by a series of strokes) or active cerebrovascular disease
  • Patients with clinically significant cardiovascular disease
