Abbreviation: ADAS-Cog, 11-item cognitive subscale of the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale.

a

Includes patients who received at least 1 dose of treatment and had a valid baseline assessment and at least 1 valid postbaseline assessment of the primary end point.

b

Range, 0 to 70; a lower score indicates less impairment.

c

Indicates the observed mean change (ie, only for patients with baseline and week 24 assessments), so it does not match the difference between baseline and week 24 scores.

d

Indicates the difference in change from baseline to 24 weeks between the placebo and idalopirdine groups. A negative value indicates a treatment effect in favor of idalopirdine.

e

Adjusted P values that are computed as the smallest significance levels at which one can reject the associated tests under the prespecified test hierarchies.

f

Between-group statistical comparison was not performed due to the null findings of the 30-mg dose of idalopirdine vs placebo and the prespecified gated testing strategy that allowed statistical testing of the 10-mg dose of idalopirdine vs placebo only if findings with the 30-mg dose were statistically significant.
