This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients will be randomly assigned to either the peptide intervention group (with dose escalation at 15mg, 30mg, 60mg, and 75mg) or the placebo control group. After learning and training, participants will receive an injection of PMS-001. The efficacy and safety of the intervention will be assessed at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, and 1 week post-intervention. This study aims to evaluate the effects of PMS-001 on improving long-delay recall in patients with moderate to severe dementia, as well as its safety profile.

| To evaluate the efficacy of Peptide PMS-001 in improving long-delay recall in patients with moderate to severe dementia. | The primary outcome will be specifically assessed using the sum of the long-delay recall scores from the following evaluation scales: The Auditory Verbal Learning Test - Huashan Version (AVLT-H): The long-delay recall score (AVL-LR) is the number of words correctly recalled after a 20-minute delay. The AVL-LR score ranges from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating better memory performance and lower scores suggesting more significant memory impairment. Logical Memory Story A (LM-A) from the Wechsler Memory Scale - III (WMS-III): The long-delay recall score for LM-A measures the participant's ability to recall the story after a delay. The LM-A long-delay recall score ranges from 0 to 25, with higher scores indicating better memory function and lower scores pointing to memory deficits. The changes in participants' total scores, which are the sum of the long-delay recall scores from both AVLT-H and WMS-III LM-A, before and after treatment will be evaluated using these scales. | Clinical assessments will be conducted at baseline, and then at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, and 1 week after administration of the intervention. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Assessment of the impact of Peptide PMS-001 on overall cognitive function in patients with moderate to severe dementia | Evaluation Scales: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The MoCA is a 30-point test that assesses multiple cognitive domains, including memory, attention, language, and visuospatial skills. The score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function and lower scores suggesting worse cognitive outcomes. |

| Placebo | Drug | The control group will receive a placebo, which is the blank excipient (mannitol) of the injectable PMS-001. |
|
| Clinical assessments will be conducted at baseline, and then at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, and 1 week after administration of the intervention. |
| Assessment of the impact of Peptide PMS-001 on executive function in patients with moderate to severe dementia. | Evaluation Scales: Trail Making Test B (TMT-B). The TMT-B is a widely used neuropsychological test that measures cognitive flexibility, attention, and processing speed. In this test, participants are required to connect a series of alternating numbers and letters as quickly as possible. The score is typically the time taken to complete the test, with a minimum possible score of 0 seconds (indicating no time taken, which is practically impossible) and no upper limit, as completion time can vary widely among individuals. A lower TMT-B score (shorter completion time) indicates better performance, reflecting higher cognitive flexibility, better attention, and faster processing speed. A higher TMT-B score (longer completion time) suggests more significant cognitive impairment, particularly in the areas of cognitive flexibility and attention. | Clinical assessments will be conducted at baseline, and then at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, and 1 week after administration of the intervention. |
| Assessment of the impact of Peptide PMS-001 on language function in patients with moderate to severe dementia. | Evaluation Scales: Boston Naming Test (BNT). The BNT is a widely used neuropsychological test designed to assess language function, specifically the ability to name objects and concepts. It consists of a series of line drawings that participants are asked to name. The BNT typically includes 30 items, and the score ranges from 0 to 30, with each correctly named item contributing 1 point. A higher BNT score (closer to 30) indicates better language function and naming ability, suggesting that the participant has less difficulty with word retrieval and object naming. A lower BNT score (closer to 0) suggests more significant language impairment, which may be indicative of difficulties in word finding or naming, often seen in conditions such as aphasia or cognitive decline. | Clinical assessments will be conducted at baseline, and then at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, and 1 week after administration of the intervention. |
| Assessment of the impact of Peptide PMS-001 on visuospatial function in patients with moderate to severe dementia. | Evaluation Scales: Clock Drawing Test (CDT). The CDT is a widely used neuropsychological test that assesses cognitive function, particularly executive function and visuospatial abilities. In this test, participants are asked to draw a clock, including all the numbers and setting the time to a specific hour (e.g., 10 past 11). The score ranges from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function and visuospatial skills | Clinical assessments will be conducted at baseline, and then at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, and 1 week after administration of the intervention. |
| Assessment of the impact of Peptide PMS-001 on event-related potentials in patients with moderate to severe dementia. | Evaluation Method: Event-Related Potentials (ERP). Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) are electrophysiological neural responses time-locked to specific stimuli and are widely used to assess various cognitive processes。 A larger amplitude generally indicates a stronger neural response to a stimulus. For example, in cognitive tasks, a larger P300 amplitude (a positive wave occurring around 300ms after a stimulus) is often associated with increased attention and cognitive processing。 | Clinical assessments will be conducted at baseline, and then at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, and 1 week after administration of the intervention. |
