DescriptionThe textual representation of the study objective.

For example:
The objective of the analysis is to evaluate the efficacy of study treatment versus placebo. The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale, total of 11 items [ADAS-Cog (11)] and the Video-referenced Clinician's Interview-based Impression of Change (CIBIC+) will serve as the primary efficacy instruments. Efficacy will be determined by testing for a statistically significant relationship between the change in both the ADAS-Cog (11) and CIBIC+ scores, and drug dose (0, low dose [54 mg], and high dose [81 mg]).
