Effect of LY450139 on the Long Term Progression of Alzheimer's Disease

ADAS-Cog11 was used as a primary efficacy measure. It consists of 11 items assessing areas of function most typically impaired in Alzheimer's disease (AD): orientation, verbal memory, language, and praxis. The scale ranges from 0 to 70, with higher scores indicating greater disease severity. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for baseline value, age, investigator, visit, and concomitant standard of care (SOC) medication.

ADCS-ADL is a 23-item inventory developed as a Rater-administered questionnaire answered by the participant's caregiver. It measures performance of basic and instrumental activities of daily living by participants. The total score ranges from 0 to 78, with lower scores indicating greater disease severity. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for baseline value, age, investigator, visit, and concomitant standard of care (SOC) medication.

A radioactive tracer for PET that is a ligand for amyloid called AV-45. This permits the visualization of amyloid in the brains of Alzheimer's participants. The outcome reported is the composite summary of the standard uptake value ratio (SUVR) normalized to the cerebellar gray matter. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for baseline value, age, and investigator.

Model estimated apparent oral clearance. Clearance is defined as the volume of plasma that is completely cleared of drug (LY450139) per unit time.

Model-estimated apparent volume of distribution. Volume of distribution is a measure of the extent to which the drug distributes in the body.

ADAS-Cog12 is ADAS-Cog11 augmented with delayed free recall measure, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 80. Higher scores indicate greater disease severity. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for baseline value, age, investigator, visit, and concomitant standard of care (SOC) medication.

ADAS-Cog14 is ADAS-Cog11 augmented with delayed free recall, digit cancellation, and maze completion measures. A score of 0 to 10 for delayed free recall and a conversion code of 0 to 5 for digit cancellation and maze completion provide total score ranges for this extended ADAS-Cog14 of 0 to 90. Higher scores indicate greater disease severity. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for baseline value, age, investigator, visit, concomitant standard of care (SOC) medication.

MMSE is a brief screening instrument used to assess cognitive function (orientation, memory, attention, and ability to name objects, follow verbal and written commands, write a sentence, and copy figures) in elderly participants. The total score ranges from 0 to 30; Lower score indicates greater disease severity. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for baseline value, age, investigator, visit, and concomitant standard of care (SOC) medication.

CDR-SB is a semi-structured interview of participants and their caregivers. Participant's cognitive status is rated across 6 domains of functioning, including memory, orientation, judgment/problem solving, community affairs, home/hobbies, and personal care. Severity score assigned for each of 6 domains; Total score (SB) ranges from 0 to 18. Higher scores indicate greater disease severity. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for baseline value, age, investigator, visit, and concomitant standard of care (SOC) medication.

NPI assesses psychopathology in participants with dementia and other neurologic disorders. Information is obtained from a caregiver familiar with the participant's behavior. Total score ranges from 12 to 144; Higher scores indicate greater disease severity. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for baseline value, age, investigator, visit, and concomitant standard of care (SOC) medication.

EQ-5D (proxy version) measures mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression; each has 3 severity levels (no, some, severe problems) coded to a 1-digit number (1-3). Digits are combined into 5-digit number describing health state. Numerals 1-3 are not added for total score. VAS assesses caregiver's impression of participant's overall health state; scores range from 0 to 100; Lower scores indicate greater disease severity. Least Squares (LS) Mean value controlled for baseline value, age, investigator, visit, and concomitant standard of care (SOC) medication.

Assesses healthcare resource utilization (formal and informal care). Information gathered on both caregivers (caregiving time, work status) and participants (accommodation and healthcare resource utilization) was collected from baseline and follow-up interviews; Reported number of hospitalizations per participant up to 76 weeks. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for age and investigator.
