To Evaluate Effects of AZD1446, Placebo and Donepezil in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease

May 11, 2011 updated by: AstraZeneca

A Phase II, Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Crossover Study to Evaluate the Pharmacodynamic Effect of Single and Multiple Oral Doses of AZD1446/ Placebo and a Single Dose of Donepezil on Quantified Electroencephalography and Event-Related Potentials in Patients With AD

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treatment with single and multiple oral doses of AZD1446 for 1 week will have effect on Quantified Electroencephalography and Event-Related Potentials in patients with Alzheimers Disease. The total treatment period is 9 weeks, divided into 5 equally long sub-periods of 7 days and 4 wash-out periods of 7 days each.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To evaluate the effect of single and multiple dosing of AZD1446 and a single dose of donepezil on Quantified electroencephalography (qEEG) and Event-related potentials (ERP) in patients with mild-to-moderate AD.
Time Frame: collected from the time of informed consent is signed, throughout the study. The total study period is 9 weeks, divided into 5 equally long treatment periods of 7 days and 4 wash-out periods of 7 days each.
