This clinical trial is an open-label, parallel-group, exploratory study of recombinant human serum albumin in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
This clinical trial is an open-label, parallel-group, exploratory study of recombinant human serum albumin in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease (AD). It aims to enroll 30 participants who meet the 2011 National Institute on Aging and Alzheimer's Association (NIA-AA) criteria for "Probable AD Dementia." Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive the investigational drug at doses of 20g, 30g, or 40g, for assessments of safety and preliminary efficacy. Stratification factors will be based on the severity classification (mild; moderate) as indicated by the total score on the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale - Global Score (CDR-GS) during the screening period.

Adverse Events
The primary objective of the trial was to evaluate safety according to the type, incidence, and severity of adverse events, which were graded with the use of the NCI CTCAE V5.0.
Time frame: About week 29 or 41(It depends on whether the participant enters the extention treatment period)
The change from baseline in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog) score at W25 post-treatment.
The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) is an instrument used to assess cognitive function in individuals with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. The scale ranges from 0 to 75, with lower scores indicating better cognitive function and higher scores indicating more severe cognitive impairment. Therefore, the lower the score on the ADAS-Cog, the better the cognitive performance of the individual being assessed. Conversely, a higher score indicates greater cognitive decline. The minimum possible score on the ADAS-Cog is 0, and the maximum possible score is 75.
Time frame: At Week 25
The changes in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) scores from baseline at Weeks 7, 16, 29 (if applicable), 37 (if applicable), and 41 (if applicable) post-treatment.

The Clinical Dementia Rating - Global Score (CDR-GS) is a tool used by healthcare professionals to assess the severity of dementia in patients. The CDR-GS has a range from 0 to 3, with 0 representing no dementia, 0.5 indicating very mild dementia, 1 indicating mild dementia, 2 indicating moderate dementia, and 3 indicating severe dementia. Therefore, the lower the score on the CDR-GS, the better the cognitive and functional abilities of the individual being assessed. Conversely, a higher score indicates more severe dementia. The minimum possible score on the CDR-GS is 0, and the maximum possible score is 3.
Time frame: At Weeks 7, 16, 25, 29 (if applicable), 37 (if applicable), and 41 (if applicable)
The changes in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) scores from baseline at Weeks 7, 16, 25, 29 (if applicable), 37 (if applicable), and 41 (if applicable) after the commencement of treatment.
The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) is a tool used to evaluate neuropsychiatric symptoms in individuals with dementia. A lower score on the NPI indicates fewer or less severe neuropsychiatric symptoms, while a higher score suggests more frequent or severe symptoms. Thus, a lower NPI score is generally considered to be a better outcome. The minimum possible score is 0, and the maximum possible score is 144.
Time frame: At Weeks 7, 16, 25, 29 (if applicable), 37 (if applicable), and 41 (if applicable)
The changes in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) ability assessment scale scores from baseline
The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL) is a tool designed to measure the functional ability of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. The ADCS-ADL has a range from 0 to 78, where 0 indicates complete dependence and 78 indicates complete independence. Higher scores on the ADCS-ADL indicate better functional status and ability to perform daily activities independently.ng the start of treatment.
