Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Changes from baseline in Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)

CDR-SB range 0-18, with higher scores indicating more severe dementia.

Time frame
Baseline to 12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Changes from baseline in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale scores

MMSE range 0-30, with higher scores indicating better cognitve functioning.

Time frame
Baseline to 12 months
2

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.

Time frame
Baseline to 12 months
3

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.

Time frame
Baseline to 12 months
4

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.

Time frame
Baseline to 12 months
