Primary Outcome Measures:

Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Weekly for the 12-Week dosing period (Baseline-Week-12) and every 4 weeks during the 12-Week washout period (Weeks 16, 20, & 24) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Pharmacodynamics effects of Cerebral Spinal Fluid [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Pharmacodynamics effects of the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Pharmacodynamics effects of the Alzheimer's Disease Collaborative Study - Activities of Daily Living scale [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Pharmacodynamics effects of the Global clinical impression as assessed with the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Characterize Pharmacodynamics/Pharmacokinetics effects of the plasma exposure of BMS-708163 and variability in a population with Alzheimer's disease [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Characterize Pharmacodynamics/Pharmacokinetics effects in refining the Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics model with Phase 2 data [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Characterize Pharmacodynamics/Pharmacokinetics effects by exploring correlations between exposure, biomarkers, and clinical effects [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Characterize Pharmacodynamics/Pharmacokinetics effects by exploring Pharmacokinetics variability, including the correlation between polymorphisms of CYP enzymes [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
