Fasudil is non-sedating.\n\nThe aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of oral fasudil in reducing wandering behaviors of elopement and/or getting lost in subjects with dementia. In addition, effects on wandering behaviors of excess movement and pacing, cognition, memory, neuropsychiatric symptomatology, caregiver/nursing staff burden, and the safety and tolerability of fasudil treatment will be assessed.', 'detailedDescription': "The study population will consist of subjects with dementia and wandering behaviors of elopement and/or getting lost. While it is anticipated that most participants will be residing at home (with caregiver support), subjects may live in another setting such as a group home, an assisted living unit, or in a long-term care facility, provided that a caregiver, formal or informal, has sufficient contact with the subject to permit accurate completion of the necessary assessments.\n\nEnrolled subjects will enter the Open-Label Phase and receive treatment with fasudil 90 mg/day (30 mg three times daily \\[tid\\]) for 6 weeks in Open-Label Period 1. Responders (i.e., subjects who improve 2 points or more on the GIW) will proceed to the Double-Blind Phase. Subjects in whom fasudil is well-tolerated (i.e. subjects with ≤ 2 drug-related AEs of mild intensity, no drug-related AEs of greater than mild intensity, and creatinine level of \\< 1.5 mg/dL at all times during the period) and who do not respond will enter Open-Label Period 2, and be dosed with fasudil 180 mg/day (60 mg tid) for 6 weeks. Responders will proceed to the Double-Blind Phase and non-responders will move to the final post-treatment visit. In the Double-Blind Phase, subjects will receive treatment with either placebo or the dose they responded to in the Open-Label Phase (90 mg/day or 180 mg/day) for 6 weeks (Double-Blind Period 1), following which treatment assignment will be crossed over for 6 weeks (Double-Blind Period 2). A final post-treatment visit will occur 14 days after the last dose of study drug. Visits may be performed by qualified healthcare professionals at home or other care setting, or at a doctor's office/clinic. Interviews may be performed by telephone and/or telemedicine as appropriate.\n\nStudy Endpoints:\n\nPrimary:\n\n• The Global Impression of Wandering (GIW)\n\nSecondary:\n\n* Weekly Wandering Report - Community Version (WWR-C)\n* The Revised Algase Wandering Scale - Community Version (RAWS-CV)\n* The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)\n* The Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Questionnaire (NPI-Q)\n* The Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory - Community Version (CMAI-C)\n* The Center for Neurological Study-Lability Scale (CNS-LS)\n* The Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI)\n* Safety\n* Tolerability"}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '90 Years', 'minimumAge': '50 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1. 50 to 90 years of age (inclusive).\n2.
