Study of SB-742457 or Donepezil Versus Placebo in Subjects With Mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's Disease

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study is designed to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of SB-742457 versus placebo in subjects with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.

-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change - Plus (CIBIC+) Score at Week 24 | The CIBIC+ is a rating scale derived from an interview with the participant and caregiver with an independent rater designed to measure several domains of participant function, such as mental/cognitive state, behavior, and functioning. The scores are rated on a scale of 1 to 7 as follows: 1 (marked improvement), 2 (moderately improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (moderately worse) and 7 (markedly worse). | Week 24 | 
| Change From Baseline in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) Total Score at Week 24 | ADAS-Cog assesses a range of cognitive abilities including memory, comprehension, orientation in time and place and spontaneous speech. Most items are evaluated by tests, but some are dependent on clinician ratings on a five point scale. The ADAS-Cog total score is the sum of the calculated scores for Questions 1 (Word recall task), 2 (Naming objects and fingers), and 7 (Word recognition task) and the scores recorded on the CRF for Questions 3 to 6 (Commands, Constructional praxis, Ideational praxis, Orientation) and 8 to 11 (Remembering test instructions, Spoken language ability, Word finding difficulty in spontaneous speech, Comprehension). The total score ranges from 0-70 with higher scores indicating greater dysfunction while lower indicates better cognitive function. Baseline was defined as the value at Week 0. Change from Baseline was obtained by subtracting the Baseline value from the post-randomization value at Week 24. | Baseline (Week 0) and Week 24 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change From Baseline in Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) Total Score at Week 24 | RBANS is an individually administered neurocognitive battery comprising 12 subtests across five domains (Attention, Language, Visuospatial/Constructional Abilities, and Immediate and Delayed memory). The scale is completed by a trained and experienced neurologist, psychiatrist or neuropsychologist, or another trained and experienced person. It is preferred that this individual is the same person who administers the ADAS-Cog, but he/she must be a separate individual from the person who completes the CIBIC+. The scale is based on the performance of the participant and takes approximately 25-30 minutes to administer. Raw total scores are calculated by adding up the scores for each of the 12 individual subtests and ranges between 0 and 311, where low score= (greater impairment) and high score=(better cognitive function). Baseline was defined as the value at Visit 3 (Week 0). Change from Baseline was obtained by subtracting the Baseline value from the post-randomization value at Week 24. | Baseline (Week 0) and Week 24 |

| Change From Baseline in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) Total Score at Weeks 12 and 24 | The ADCS-ADL measures functional impairment in terms of activities of daily living. The ADCS-ADL is an interviewer-administered informant-based scale where the informant (caregiver) responds to 23 activities of daily living questions (i.e. those necessary for personal care, communicating and interacting with other people, maintaining a household, conducting hobbies and interests, making judgments and decisions) about the participant. The questions range from basic to instrumental activities of daily living and take approximately 20 minutes to complete. The Total score ranges from 0-78 and a higher score signifies greater functional ability and lower scores indicating greater impairment. The total score is the sum of all items and sub-questions.
