Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to examine the safety and tolerability of a multiple dose of PF-04360365 administered over approximately 10 minutes in Japanese patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of PF-04360365 following administration of multiple doses in Japanese patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
Interventions
