Primary Outcome Measures:

To assess the safety and tolerability of orally administered dimebon in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) on a stable dose and regimen of memantine, or memantine plus donepezil. [ Time Frame: up to 28 days ]
Treatment discontinuation due to adverse events, the frequency and severity of adverse events, and clinically significant changes in safety assessments (including physical examination findings, vital signs, laboratory values, and ECGs) in the dimebon group will be compared to those reported in the placebo group.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To assess the steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of orally-administered dimebon in patients with AD on a stable dose and regimen of memantine, or memantine plus donepezil. [ Time Frame: up to 28 days ]
The following key parameters will be used to assess the steady-state PK of dimebon: maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax), Ctrough, area under the curve (AUC), and peak-to-trough ratio.
