A 25-week, open-label trial investigating rivastigmine transdermal patches with concomitant memantine in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer disease: A post hoc analysis

Objective: To investigate the tolerability and efficacy of the rivastigmine transdermal patch in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease receiving concomitant memantine. Research design and methods: Post hoc analysis of a 25-week, randomized, prospective, open-label, parallel-group study. Patients receiving donepezil were switched to rivastigmine patches (4.6 mg/24 h) immediately or following a 7-day withdrawal for 4 […]

Long-term treatment of patients with Alzheimer’s disease in primary and secondary care: Results from an international survey

Objective: The International Outcomes Survey in Dementia (IOSID) was initiated to observe the effects of current standard of care for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) on patient outcomes and caregiver burden in a real-life setting. Research design and methods: This 2-year, international, prospective, longitudinal and observational cohort survey involved patients with mild-to-moderate AD (Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE] […]

Effects of rivastigmine on common symptomatology of Alzheimer’s disease (EXPLORE)

Objective: To evaluate, in a real-world clinical setting, the efficacy of rivastigmine in the management of six symptoms commonly associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD).; Methods: This was a naturalistic, prospective, open-label, multi-centre, post-marketing, observational study. Data were collected by the participating study physicians at their practices across Canada. Subjects had a clinical diagnosis of mild-to-moderate […]

The ACTION study: methodology of a trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of a higher dose rivastigmine transdermal patch in severe Alzheimer’s disease

Background: Two sizes of rivastigmine patch (5 cm(2) and 10 cm(2)) are currently approved in the US and Europe, while a 20 cm(2) rivastigmine patch has also been tested. A 15 cm(2) rivastigmine patch may provide an optimal balance between efficacy and safety. Earlier studies have demonstrated the efficacy of rivastigmine in severe Alzheimer’s disease […]

Patients receiving donepezil were switched to rivastigmine patches (4.6 mg/24 h) immediately or following a 7-day withdrawal for 4 […]

Tolerability and efficacy of memantine add-on therapy to rivastigmine transdermal patches in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease: a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group study

Objective: To compare the tolerability and efficacy of combination therapy of memantine plus rivastigmine patch with rivastigmine patch monotherapy in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD).; Research Design and Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, open-label study, patients entered an 8-week run-in period (a 5 cm 2 rivastigmine patch for 4 weeks, then a […]
