Brief Summary

Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase has been a effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Octohydroaminoacridine, a new acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The investigators conducted a 26 weeks, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo- and positive- parallel controlled and extended single arm to 54 weeks multicentre phase III clinical trial to investigate the effects of octohydroaminoacridine in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. Patients were randomized to receive placebo thrice daily, or octohydroaminoacridine 4 mg/TID or ARICEPT 5mg/QD.

  • Females were postmenopausal (menopause beyond 24 weeks), or accepted the surgical sterilization, or women of childbearing age agreed to take effective contraceptive measures during the study. Women of childbearing age or menopausal time shorter than 24 weeks must do the urine pregnancy test and results to be negative during the screening period;
  • Subjects should have stable and reliable caregivers, or have frequent contact with caregivers (at least 4 days per week, at least 2 hours per day), caregivers will help patients to participate in the study. Caregivers must accompany the subjects in the study visit to provide valuable information for the NPI, ADCS-ADL and CIBIC-plus scales assessments;
  • Subjects have at least primary school education level, and have the ability to complete the determination of cognitive ability assessments and other tests;
  • The participants and legal guardian must sign informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Other type of dementia except AD;
  • Suffered from nervous system diseases (including stroke, optic myelopathy, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, etc);
  • Psychotic patients, according to the DSM-5 criteria, include schizophrenia or other psychiatry disorders, bipolar disorder, major depression disorder, or delirium;

  • Systolic pressure was more than 160mmHg or less than 90mmHg, diastolic blood pressure was more than 100mmHg or less than 60mmHg;
  • With unstable or serious heart, lung, liver, kidney and hematopoietic system diseases (including unstable angina, myocardial infarction, uncontrolled asthma, gastric cancer, et al), or resting heart rate after 10 minutes of rest was less than 60 BPM, or QTc (QTc B (Bazett's correction value) or QTc F (Fridericia's correction value)) was equal or greater than 450msec, or with bundle branch block, the QTc B or QTc F was equal or greater than 480msec, or the researchers estimate there were abnormal EKG results which cannot be randomized to the study;
  • There was uncorrected of visual and auditory disturbances, and neuropsychological tests and scale assessments cannot be completed by the subject;
  • Subject was currently using Alzheimer's disease drugs and cannot be terminate the treatment;
  • Subjects that cannot take the test drug according to the prescription should be excluded;
