Summary

A 52-week safety and efficacy study of simufilam (PTI-125) given twice daily to participants with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) for 52 weeks. Approximately 750 participants will be randomized (1:1) to receive either placebo or 100 mg tablets of simufilam, twice daily, for 52 weeks. Clinic visits will occur 4 weeks after the baseline visit, and then every 12 weeks until the end of the study. The safety of simufilam, and its efficacy in enhancing cognition and slowing cognitive and functional decline will be evaluated.
