Study of the Effect of SR57667B in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease

January 31, 2006 updated by: Sanofi

A Phase II, Multicenter, Multinational, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability Study of SR57667B in Patients With Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

The primary objective is to demonstrate that SR57667B at the dose of 4 mg/day, in comparison to placebo, decreases the decline in cognitive performance and the global clinical decline over 1 year in patients with mild to moderate AD.

Secondary objectives are to assess the effect of SR57667B on functional decline and its safety/tolerability in patients with mild to moderate AD, and to document plasma concentrations of SR57667 in patients with mild to moderate AD.
