About this trial
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivastigmine mini-tablets in individuals diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 50 or older
Meet the National Institute of Aging-Alzheimer's Association clinical criteria for probable Alzheimer's disease
Have a Mini-Mental State Examination score of 10 to 24 at Screening and Baseline
Geriatric Depression Scale score <=7 at Screening
Disqualifiers
Any systemic or neurological condition that could contribute to cognitive impairment above and beyond that caused by the participant's Alzheimer's disease
Any psychiatric diagnosis or symptoms (hallucinations, major depression, delusions, etc) interfering with study procedures
An advanced, severe or unstable disease of any type (cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal disease, etc) that may interfere with efficacy evaluations

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Changes from baseline in Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)
CDR-SB range 0-18, with higher scores indicating more severe dementia.
Secondary outcomes
Changes from baseline in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale scores
MMSE range 0-30, with higher scores indicating better cognitve functioning.
Changes from baseline in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) scale scores
NPI score range is 0-144 for patient assessment and 0-60 for caregiver distress assessment. In patient assessment, higher scores indicate more severe neuropsychiatric disorders; in caregiver distress assessment, higher scores indicate greater distress.
Changes from baseline in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study ADL(ADCS-ADL)) scores
ADCS-ADL range 0-78, with higher scores indicating better functional ability in daily activities.
Concentration Changes from Baseline of Plasma Biomarkers (Aβ42/40, p - tau181, p - tau217, NfL and GFAP)
The plasma biomarkers include Aβ42/40,p-tau181, p-tau217, NfL and GFAP.
