E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To test the hypothesis that solanezumabwill slow the cognitive decline of AD as compared with placebo in patients with mild AD. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To test the hypothesis that solanezumab will slow the functional
decline of AD as compared with placebo in patients with mild AD
• To assess the relationship between treatment effect and time.
• To test the hypothesis that solanezumab will slow the rate of cognitive and functional decline associated with AD assessed using a slope analysis from a repeated-measures model. |
