Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Part 1 : Change From Baseline in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-cog14) at Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline to Month 6
The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale 14 Item (ADAS-cog14) scoring range is from 0 to 90, with higher scores indicating greater cognitive impairment
Baseline to Month 6

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Part 1: Change From Baseline in the Amsterdam-Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (Amsterdam-IADL) at Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline to Month 6
The Amsterdam-Instrumental Activities of Daily Living score is calculated from a questionnaire consisting of 70 items in seven categories using an item response theory method of scoring. Scores range from 20 to 80 where lower scores indicate greater functional impairment.
Baseline to Month 6
Part 1: Change From Baseline in the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale-Sum of Boxes (CDR-sb) at Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline to Month 6
Clinical Dementia Rating - Sum of box (CDR-sb) scores range from 0 to 18 with higher scores indicating greater cognitive impairment.
Baseline to Month 6
Part 1: Change From Baseline in the Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ) at Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline to Month 6
The total FAQ score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater functional loss.
Baseline to Month 6
Mean Change From Baseline in the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) at Month 6.
Time Frame: Baseline to Month 6
The MMSE scale range is 0 to 30 with lower scores indicating greater cognitive impairment.
Baseline to Month 6
