    • Has historical documentation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker or amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) brain scan;
  • Meets all criteria for agitation according to the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) consensus definition
  • Has clinically meaningful agitation defined as a Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Agitation/Aggression (NPI-AA) domain total score of ≥ 4 at both Screening and Baseline;
  • CGI-S score ≥ 4 at Screening and Baseline;
  • Has Mini-Mental State Examination, 2nd Edition™: Standard Version (MMSE-2®:SV) score of 6 to 24 at Screening;

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Agitation symptoms are attributable to concomitant medications, adverse environmental conditions, substance abuse, or active medical or psychiatric conditions as per Investigator's judgment;

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) total score
Time Frame: Week 12
The CMAI is a reliable and validated, 29-item caregiver-rating questionnaire to assess agitated behavior in elderly patients. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale of frequency, from "never" (1) to "several times an hour" (7), with 1 being the "best" rating and 7 being the "worst" rating. The minimum possible CMAI total score is 29, and the maximum possible CMAI total score is 203.
Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score
Time Frame: Week 12
The CGI-S is a clinician-rated scale to assess a patient's overall mental health. The scale ranges from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients)
