ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants With a Hypotensive EpisodeUp to Month 12
Hypotension is defined as blood pressure \<100/40 mm Hg. Blood pressure was measured according to the American Heart Association guidelines with the subject in the sitting position and rested for 5 minutes. An appropriate cuff size (covering 60% of upper arm length and 80% of arm circumference) was used and correct cuff placement (1-2 inches above the brachial pulse on bare arm) was ensured.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Symptoms of HypotensionUp to Month 12
Participants were asked to report any symptoms of hypotension (dizziness, weakness, fatigue and lightheadedness). All participants were given a telephone number to reach physician 24-hours per day to report symptoms they experience. The number of participants reporting symptoms of hypotension is reported here.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Hypotensive Episodes and SymptomsUp to Month 12The number of participants with reported episodes hypotension as well as symptoms of hypotension.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Elevated Serum CreatinineUp to Month 12
The levels of creatinine were obtained from blood samples. Elevated serum creatinine is defined as levels \>2.5 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL). Elevated serum creatinine is indicative of decreased renal function.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With HyperkalemiaUp to Month 12The levels of potassium were obtained from blood samples. Hyperkalemia is defined as potassium levels \>5.9 milliequivalent per deciliter (meq/dL). Hyperkalemia is an indication of kidney dysfunction.
PrimaryNumber of Participants Discontinuing Study MedicationUp to Month 12The number of participants who discontinued the study medication is presented here.
SecondaryCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Total Tau LevelsBaseline, Month 12CSF total tau (t-tau) levels were analyzed from CSF samples obtained via lumbar puncture. Normal values for t-tau are \< 450 pg/ml. Elevated levels of t-tau indicate worsening disease.
SecondaryCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) of Tau Phosphorylated at Threonine 181 (p-tau181) LevelsBaseline, Month 12
CSF levels of p-tau181 were analyzed from CSF samples obtained via lumbar puncture. P-tau181 is a biomarker that is elevated in persons with Alzheimer's disease. Higher values indicate worsening disease.
SecondaryCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Amyloid Aβ42 LevelsBaseline, Month 12
CSF Aβ42 levels were analyzed from CSF samples obtained via lumbar puncture. Aβ42 is a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease and lower values indicate worsening disease and an increased accumulation of amyloid in the brain.
SecondaryCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Amyloid Aβ40 LevelsBaseline, Month 12CSF Aβ40 levels were analyzed from CSF samples obtained via lumbar puncture. Lower values indicate worsening disease and an increased brain accumulation of amyloid.
SecondaryCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Amyloid Aβ42/Aβ40 LevelsBaseline, Month 12CSF Aβ42/Aβ40 levels were analyzed from CSF samples obtained via lumbar puncture. A lower ratio indicates worsening disease.
SecondaryPulse Wave Velocity (PWV)Baseline, Month 12
Arterial stiffness was assessed by Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV). PWV is calculated as PWV=distance (d)/time (t) and the unit of measure is reported as meters per second (m/s). Lower values indicate a preferable measurement of arterial stiffness.
SecondaryAugmentation Index (AI)Baseline, Month 12
Arterial stiffness was assessed by Augmentation Index (AI). The AI is a ratio measure of augmentation of central arterial pressure reflected in a pulse wave; the value is multiplied by 100 to provide a percentage. AI increases with age and is higher in persons with cardiovascular disease states. A lower value indicates a preferable state of arterial stiffness.
SecondaryHippocampal VolumeBaseline, Month 12Structural MRI images were acquired in order to assess hippocampal volume. Decreased hippocampal volume suggests neurodegenerative changes
SecondaryVasoreactivityMonth 12
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) is assessed with blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) MRI. Vasoreactivity (VR) is the degree of change in BOLD signal relative to change in end tidal CO2. CVR is an indicator of microvascular function (higher indicates better function)
SecondaryGlobal Standardized Uptake Value Ratio (SUVR) of (11)C-Pittsburgh Compound B ((11)C-PiB)Baseline, 12 Months
In-vivo amyloid imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) was conducted after intravenous administration of 15±1.5 millicurie (mCi) of the radiotracer (11)C-PiB. SUVR is a ratio of PET uptake measured in the brain region of interest and a disease free reference region. A higher SUVR is an indication of increased PET radiotracer uptake and worsening disease.
SecondaryGlobal Standardized Uptake Value Ratio (SUVR) of [18F]T807Baseline, 12 Months
In-vivo tau-PET imaging was conducted using the radiotracer \[18F\]T807. SUVR is a ratio of PET uptake measured in the brain region of interest and a disease free reference region. A higher SUVR is an indication of increased PET radiotracer uptake and worsening disease.
SecondaryClinical Dementia Rating (CDR) ScoreBaseline, Month 12
The CDR rates each of the six general domains involving memory, orientation, judgment and problem-solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care. An overall score, ranging from 0 to 3, can be calculated. A score of 0 = normal, 0.5 = very mild dementia, 1 = mild dementia, 2 = moderate dementia, and 3 = severe dementia.
SecondaryEXecutive Abilities: Measures and Instruments for Neurobehavioral Evaluation and Research (EXAMINER) Toolbox Composite ScoreBaseline, Month 6, Month 12
The EXAMINER toolbox battery includes 11 tasks that generate 15 primary variables. Within this set, the EXAMINER includes working memory, inhibition, set shifting, and fluency. The parts of EXAMINER that were used for this study include: Flanker task (inhibition) which involves responding to a central stimulus while ignoring flanking stimuli that are either compatible or incompatible with the central stimulus; Set-shifting, a measure of mental flexibility; Spatial 1-Back test assesses spatial working memory; Dot Counting test assesses verbal working memory; Verbal Fluency tested using a List Generation test which require the participant to generate words beginning with a specific letter, and category fluency in which the participant generates words from a specified category (e.g., animals, fruits). A composite score is calculated where scores range from -1 to +1 and higher are reflective of better executive function.
SecondaryHopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT) Delayed Recall ScoreBaseline, Month 6, Month 12
The Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT) is used to assess memory domains. Participants are read a list of 12 words and are asked to recall as many as they can remember. This is repeated for 3 trials followed by a 20 minute delay, and then participants are asked to recall as many words as they can. The delayed recall score ranges from 0 to 12 and higher scores indicate better memory.
