Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Significant neurological disease other than AD that may affect cognition (eg, epilepsy, Parkinson disease) or ability to complete the study. 2. Current diagnosis of a major depressive disorder or other major psychiatric symptoms included in psychiatric disorders according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM IV), criteria. 3. Current clinically significant systemic illness that, in the judgment of the investigator, is likely to deteriorate or affect the patient’s safety, influence cognitive assessment, or ability to complete the study. 4. History of seizure, except a febrile childhood febrile seizure. 5. History of clinically evident stroke or clinically significant carotid or vertebrobasilar stenosis or plaque. 6. Myocardial infarction within the last 3 months. 7. History of cancer within the last 5 years, with the exception of nonmetastatic basal and/or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin 8.

Any clinically significant deviation in physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), or clinical laboratory test results that in the judgment of the investigator, is likely to deteriorate or affect the patient’s safety or ability to complete the study. 11. History of any clinically important multiple drug allergies, that will compromise the patient’s safety during the study. 12. Use of medications for the treatment of cognitive enhancements, including memantine, and the use of cholinesterase inhibitors within 3 months the baseline visit and any history of intolerance or lack of response to cholinesterase inhibitors. 13. Any use of investigational drugs or procedures within 30 days of baseline visit. 14. Use of experimental medications for AD within 30 days before baseline visit. 15.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective is to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 3 doses of SRA-333 in patients with mild to moderate AD over 12 weeks.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to estimate comparative safety, tolerability and efficacy versus donepezil over a 12-week period in patients with AD and to measure the responsiveness of patient and caregiver-reported outcomes instruments.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoints will be the change from baseline in ADAS-Cog total score and ADCS-CGIC at week 12. | — |
