Rosiglitazone (Extended Release Tablets) As Monotherapy In Subjects With Mild To Moderate Alzheimer's Disease

The 11-item ADAS-Cog assessed a range of cognitive abilities including memory, comprehension, orientation in time and place and spontaneous speech. Most items were evaluated by tests, but some were dependent on clinician ratings on a 5-point scale. Scores ranged from 0-70 with higher scores indicating greater dysfunction. Change from Baseline was calculated as value at scheduled time point minus Baseline value. Baseline is defined as value at W0. Endpoint treatment differences were adjusted to take account of missing data. It was evaluated at Baseline, W8, W16 and W24.

The CIBIC+ assessment comprised of a 7-point rating of severity (at baseline) and change (at indicated time points). It was rated on a scale of 1 to 7 as 1: markedly improved, 2.: moderately improved, 3: minimally improved, 4: no change, 5: minimally worse, 6: moderately worse and 7: markedly worse; higher score means more dysfunction. The scale was based on interviews with the par. and caregiver and was completed by an independent rater. It required separate structured 15-20 minute interviews with the par. and caregiver. Change from Baseline was calculated as value at scheduled time point minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as value at W0. Endpoint treatment differences which were adjusted to take account of missing data are derived. It was evaluated at Baseline, W8, W16 and W24.

The NPI assessed behavioral disturbances comprises 10 dimensions: delusions, hallucinations, dysphoria, apathy, euphoria, disinhibition, aggressiveness and agitation, irritability, anxiety and aberrant motor activity. The par. caregiver asked about behavior in the par. If "Yes", the informant then rates both the severity on a 3-point scale, 1: mild to 3: severe (total range: 0-36) and the frequency using a 4-point scale, 1: occasionally to 4: very frequently. The total domain score was frequency × severity. The distress was scored on 5-point scale, 0: no distress to 5 - very severe or extreme. A total NPI score can be calculated by adding all domain scores together; NPI total score: from 0-144 and NPI distress score: from 0-60, all with higher scores indicating more severe behavioral disturbance. Change from Baseline was calculated as value at scheduled time point minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as value at W0.

The DAD, assessed the ability of a par. to execute basic and instrumental activities of daily living (ADL) and leisure activities. The scale consists of 40 questions assessing basic and instrumental ADLs. This scale assesses a participants' ability to initiate, plan, and perform activities related to hygiene, dressing, continence, eating, meal preparation, telephoning, going on an outing, finance and correspondence, medications, leisure, and housework. Each item was scored as yes: 1, no: 0 and N/A: not applicable. Higher scores indicate less disability with a score of 100 indicating no disability and 0 indicating no functional ability. Change from Baseline was calculated as value at scheduled time point minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as value at W0. The percentage score was calculated as (DAD total score/total number of applicable items) multiplied by 100. Endpoint treatment differences which were adjusted to take account of missing data are derived.

Change from Baseline in short term memory assessment score was assessed from a combined analysis of items 1 (word recall task) and 7 (word recognition task) of ADAS-Cog scale. Word recall task consist of the participants score was the mean number of words not recalled on three trials (maximum score 10) and word recognition task, to score this item the number of incorrect responses was counted (maximum error score was 12). Higher score indicating greater dysfunction. Total score is sum of individual score. Change from Baseline was calculated as value at scheduled time point minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as value at W0. Endpoint treatment differences which were adjusted to take account of missing data are derived.

The EQ-5D Proxy was a 2 part scale used to assess the quality of life and utility benefit. The data for Part 1 is presented. It is a 5 dimensional Health State Classification. Caregivers were asked to respond as they feel the par. would on dimensions of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Answers to each question were recorded on a 3-point scale which indicates the level of impairment (level 1= no problem; level 2=some or moderate problem(s) and level 3=unable, or extreme problem with higher scores indicating greater dysfunction. EQ-5D Proxy assessments was performed at Baseline, W12 and W24. Change from Baseline was calculated as value at scheduled time point minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as value at W0.

The RUD instrument was developed as a comprehensive tool to assess the amount of resource use among demented par. RUD assess both formal and informal resource use of the par. and the primary caregiver, making it possible to calculate costs from a societal perspective. Q1 relates to assisting par. with basic activities of daily living and Q2 relates to instrumental activities of daily living. The assessments was performed at Baseline, W12 and W24. Change from Baseline was calculated as value at scheduled time point minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as value at W0. Endpoint treatment differences which were adjusted to take account of missing data are derived.

The ACQLI was an assessment of caregiver quality of life. This instrument consists of 30 questions exploring various aspects of carer's quality of life. Each of the questions had a two point response and the 30 questions were summed to provide a total score. Items are assumed to be unidimensional (i.e., represent a single variable) and are scored 0/1 (false/true) before summation into a total score with a 0-30 range. To ease comparisons between scales, ACQLI scores were transformed to range between 0-100 (100: worse). The assessments was performed at Baseline, W12 and W24. Change from Baseline was calculated as value at scheduled time point minus Baseline value. Baseline was defined as value at W0. Endpoint treatment differences which were adjusted to take account of missing data are derived.

The MMSE consists of 11 tests of orientation, memory (recent and immediate), concentration, language and praxis. Scores range from 0 to 30, with lower scores indicating greater cognitive impairment.

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE included significant or unexpected worsening or exacerbation of the condition/indication under study, exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition, new conditions detected or diagnosed, signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either investigational product or a concurrent medication. Number of participants with any AE and as per severity were reported. Refer to the general AE/SAE module for a list of AEs and SAEs.

SBP, DBP and HR of par. were recorded in sitting posture as vital signs, while body weight was measured without shoes and wearing light clothing at each visit. The blood pressure (BP) and HR values were identified as of PCC if the vales were out of the reference range (for SBP, 90 to 140 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), DBP, 50 to 90 mmHg, and HR >100 or <50 beats per minute [bpm]) or meet a change from Baseline criterion. For SBP it was increase from Baseline (high) if increased by more than or equal to (>=) 40 mmHg; decrease from Baseline (low) if decreased by >=30 mmHg. For DBP, increase from Baseline (high) if increased by >=30 mmHg; decrease from Baseline (low) if decreased by >=20 mmHg.
