Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare two therapeutic strategies for the long-term risk (at 2 years) of dependency, institutionalization and death in mild to moderate AD patients who respond or do not respond to treatment after an initial 6-month period of CI treatment: continuation (still) or cessation (stop) of CI. This comparison will be performed separately for patients who respond to treatment and for those who do not respond to treatment at 6 months.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives: 1) To compare the same two therapeutic strategies on other outcomes: hospitalization rate, psychotropic drug consumption, MMSE score evolution, dependency to 5 basic activities of daily living (BADL), AGGIR scale, and separately on each criteria of the combined outcome (dependency, institutionalization and death). 2) To compare severe and cardiac adverse events between treatment arms. 3) To analyse the factors associated with initial response to CI at 6 months and with the long-term response at two years. ;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome is a combination of complete BADL dependency in bathing and dressing and/or institutionalization or death at 2 years after randomization. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 30 months ± 1 month after the inclusion visit ;

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary end points are : - each of the components of the combined primary outcome analyzed separately, - global BADL dependency on 5 items, - AGGIR scale GIR 3, - MMSE score evolution, - number of hospitalizations, - psychotropic drug consumption, - severe and cardiac adverse events, - response to CI after 6 months of treatment. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At 30 months ± 1 month after the inclusion visit ; At 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months following the inclusion visit ;
