| E.2 Objective of the trial | 
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial | 
| Open-label treatment period (initial 28 weeks): To evaluate the longterm safety and tolerability of idalopirdine as adjunctive therapy to
 donepezil in patients with mild-moderate AD.
 Open-label treatment period with memantine (sub-study): To evaluate
 the safety and tolerability of concomitant treatment with idalopirdine,
 memantine and donepezil in patients with AD.
 |  | 
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial | 
| Open-label treatment period (initial 28 weeks): To evaluate the disease development during long-term treatment with idalopirdine as adjunctive
 therapy to donepezil.
 Open-label treatment period with memantine (sub-study): To evaluate
 the disease development during concomitant treatment with
 idalopirdine, memantine and donepezil in patients with AD.

| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria | 
| Open-label treatment period (initial 28 weeks) * The patient has completed Visit 7 (Completion Visit) in the lead-in
 double-blind, placebo controlled clinical studies 14861A or 14862A.
 
 Open-label treatment period with memantine (sub-study):
 Major inclusion criteria at Baseline III:
 * The patient has completed Visit 6 [(i.e., the open-label treatment
 period (initial 28-week period)].
 * The patient has a MMSE score at Visit 6 not greater than 19 in
 accordance with the memantine label/summary of product
 characteristics (SmPC).
 * The patient, according to the judgement of the investigator, requires
 initiation of treatment with memantine as per
 local label/SmPC/treatment guidelines.
 |  | 
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria | 
| • The patient has a moderate or severe ongoing adverse event from the lead-in study considered a potential safety risk by the investigator.
 • The patient has experienced seizures before Completion Visit in the
 lead-in study.
 • The patient has evidence of clinically significant disease.
 • The patient's donepezil treatment is likely to be interrupted or
 discontinued during the study.
 • The patient is receiving therapy with another AChEI or memantine.
 
 Open-label treatment period with memantine (sub-study):
 Major exclusion criteria at Baseline III:
 * The patient exhibits an increase in MMSE score by 3 points or more at
 Visit 6 from Baseline II.
 * The patient has a moderate or severe on-going adverse event from the
 open-label treatment period (initial 28-week period) considered a
 potential safety risk by the investigator.
 * The patient has a previous history of testing positive for hepatitis B
 surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus / antibodies (anti-HCV)
 AND had abnormal ALT, AST or bilirubin during the open-label treatment
 period (initial 28-week period).
 * The patient has tested positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg),
 or hepatitis C virus /antibodies (anti-HCV) for the frrst time within the
 last 6 months prior to the Visit 6 in the open-label treatment period
 (initial 28-week period).
 * The patient has one or more clinical laboratory test values outside the
 reference
 range, based on the latest available blood and urine sample results
 during the open-label treatment period (initial 28-week period), that are
 of potential risk to the patient's safety, or the patient has according to
 the latest available blood sample:
 - a serum creatinine value >1.5 times the upper limit of the reference
 range, or
 - a serum total bilirubin value >1.5 times the upper limit of the reference
 range, or
 - a serum alanine aminotransferase (AL T) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) value >2 times the upper limit ofthe reference
 range.
