Descriptive Information
Brief Title ICMJE	Safety and Efficacy Study Evaluating TRx0237 in Subjects With Mild Alzheimer's Disease
Official Title ICMJE	Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, 18-Month Safety and Efficacy Study of TRx0237 in Subjects With Mild Alzheimer's Disease
Brief Summary	The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of TRx0237 in the treatment of subjects with mild Alzheimer's Disease.
Detailed Description	Not Provided
Study Type ICMJE	Interventional
Study Phase	Phase 3
Study Design ICMJE	Allocation: Randomized; Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment; Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor); Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition ICMJE	Alzheimer's Disease
Intervention ICMJE	Drug: TRx0237 200 mg/day TRx0237 100 mg tablets will be administered twice daily.; Drug: Placebo Placebo tablets will be administered twice daily. The active placebo tablets include 4 mg of TRx0237 as a urinary and fecal colorant to maintain blinding; hence the placebo group will receive a total of 8 mg/day of TRx0237.
