1. Has at least 20 hours per week of direct contact with the participant;
2. Is capable of consistently completing tolerability assessments and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) across study visits;
3. Can observe and accurately report tolerability, neuropsychiatric symptoms (including sleep), and caregiver distress;
4. Is available and willing to participate in all required study visits and assessments.
8. Participants must not have received disallowed concomitant medications within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to baseline.
