About this study

The purpose of the study is for investigation and collection of Aricept safety information with a dose increase on Alzheimer's disease patients.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational study to systematically investigate domestic patients with Alzheimer's disease to figure out the safety under a situation of the use of Donepezil HCl 23mg. Additionally, if the dose of Donepezil HCl increase, there is need to examine the safety of Donepezil HCl 23mg in depth for patients with Alzheimer's disease by comparing aspects of occurring adverse events by the type of Donepezil HCl increase.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AriceptDrug

    5 mg Aricept increasing dose to 10 mg Aricept, or 10 mg Aricept increasing dose to 23 mg Aricept

Study groups in NCT02158910
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Aricept Group 1Subjects starting at 5 mg Aricept and increasing their dose to 10 mg Aricept

Aricept Group 2Subject starting at 10 mg Aricept and increasing their dose to 23 mg Aricept
Receives: Drug: Aricept

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and tolerability due to an increase of Aricept in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

    The aspects of adverse events between those who have increased Aricept dosage from 5mg to 10mg and those who have increased Aricept dosage from 10mg to 23mg will be compared. The subjects will be observed at least more than 12 weeks after Aricept administration. The patients who have obtained safety information through a visit after Aricept administration at least once will be selected as the subjects who can be assessed under the status of use.

    Measured: Up to 12 Weeks
