What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline to endpoint in Alzheimer's dementia Assessment Scale-Cognitive subscore (ADAS-Cog12).
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Month 12
The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Scale (ADAS-Cog12) is used to assess the cognitive function level of AD subjects. The ADAS-Cog12 score range is 0-75 points, and the higher the score on the scale, the more severe the cognitive impairment.
Change from Baseline to Month 12
Change from baseline to endpoint in Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB).
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to Month 12
The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Scale (CDR-SB) is used to assess the cognitive function level of AD subjects. The CDR-SB score range is 0-3 points, and the higher the score on the scale, the more severe the cognitive impairment.
Change from Baseline to Month 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline to endpoint in ADAS-Cog12.
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to month 3, 6, and 9
The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Scale (ADAS-Cog12) is used to assess the cognitive function level of AD subjects. The ADAS-Cog12 score range is 0-75 points, and the higher the score on the scale, the more severe the cognitive impairment.
Change from Baseline to month 3, 6, and 9
Change from baseline to endpoint in CDR-SB.
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to month 3, 6, and 9
The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Scale (CDR-SB) is used to assess the cognitive function level of AD subjects. The CDR-SB score range is 0-3 points, and the higher the score on the scale, the more severe the cognitive impairment.

Time Frame: Change from Baseline to month 3, 6, 9 and 12
The Alzheimer's Disease Collaborative Study Group - Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADCS-ADL) is used to evaluate the daily living abilities of AD subjects. The score range of ADCS-ADL is from 0 to 78, with higher numbers indicating better daily functioning.
Change from Baseline to month 3, 6, 9 and 12
Change from baseline to endpoint in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to month 3, 6, 9 and 12
The Simple Intelligent State Examination Scale (MMSE) has a total of 19 items, with scores ranging from 0 to 30. In clinical practice, the diagnostic threshold is usually adjusted based on educational level, with university ≤ 26 points, middle school ≤ 24 points, primary school ≤ 23 points, and illiteracy ≤ 22 points, indicating dementia.
Change from Baseline to month 3, 6, 9 and 12
Change from baseline to endpoint in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI).
Time Frame: Change from Baseline to month 3, 6, 9 and 12
The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) includes a total of 12 items in 10 behavioral domains and 2 autonomic nervous system domains, with a score range of 0-144. The caregiver distress rating is 0-60, where 0 represents the best, and the higher the score, the higher the level of distress.
