a

P Values were based on the significance of the time by treatment interaction term in a repeated measures linear mixed model including random intercepts and slopes, baseline score and time as covariates, and factors for treatment group, clinical site, and current acetylcholinesterase inhibitor/memantine use.

b

Ad hoc slope analysis not done due to small number of time points.
