New insights into clinical trial for Colostrinin in Alzheimer’s disease

Background: The pathomechanism of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is multifactorial although the most popular hypotheses are centered on the effects of the misfolded, aggregated protein, amyloid beta (Abeta) and on Tau hyperphosphorylation.; Objectives: Double blinded clinical trials were planned to demonstrate the effect of Colostrinin (CLN) on instrumental daily activities of AD patients. The potential molecular […]

Effect of oxcarbazepine in the treatment of agitation and aggression in severe dementia

Background/aims: To evaluate the efficacy of oxcarbazepine (OXC) in the treatment of agitation and aggression in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia or both.; Methods: This is an 8-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial carried out independently of the pharmaceutical industry. Changes in the agitation and aggression subscore of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) were the […]

Predictors of long-term treatment effect of rivastigmine in Alzheimer’s disease: a role for beta-amyloid plasma levels?

Background and Purpose: Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEI) are currently the mainstream symptomatic treatment of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). To this end, the response to the treatment with ChEI is clinically difficult to predict. Several demographic, clinical and biological variables have been proposed as pre-treatment predictors of long-term therapy efficacy. The aim of the study was […]

Orally disintegrating donepezil: are the main caregivers of patients with Alzheimer’s disease more satisfied with this formulation of donepezil than with the traditional one?

Aim: To know whether caregivers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients on donepezil treatment are more satisfied with the orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulation than with the film-coated tablets.; Patients and Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional study of patients with probably AD by DSM-IV or NINCDS-ADRDA criteria, on monotherapy with donepezil, ODT or film-coated tablets. Satisfaction with treatment […]

Transdermal rivastigmine patch in outpatient services in Austria: a naturalistic study in 103 patients with Alzheimer dementia

We performed a 6-month open-label study on the use of the transdermal rivastigmine patch in clinical routine in 103 patients with Alzheimer’s disease from 25 outpatient services in Austria. After baseline, safety and tolerability of the 10 cm2–rivastigmine patch was assessed at week 4, 12 and 24 in all patients. A Mini Mental State Examination […]

Domain-specific cognitive effects of tramiprosate in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease: ADAS-cog subscale results from the Alphase Study

Objectives: Tramiprosate (homotaurine, ALZHEMEDTM) was recently investigated for its efficacy, safety and disease-modification effects in a Phase III clinical study in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients (the Alphase study). The primary cognitive endpoint measure of that study was the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog). To characterize potential cognitive benefits of tramiprosate, the […]

A phase 2 multiple ascending dose trial of bapineuzumab in mild to moderate Alzheimer disease

Background: Bapineuzumab, a humanized anti-amyloid-beta (Abeta) monoclonal antibody for the potential treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD), was evaluated in a multiple ascending dose, safety, and efficacy study in mild to moderate AD.; Methods: The study enrolled 234 patients, randomly assigned to IV bapineuzumab or placebo in 4 dose cohorts (0.15, 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 mg/kg). […]

Switching from donepezil tablets to rivastigmine transdermal patch in Alzheimer’s disease

Objective: Evaluate safety and tolerability of switching from donepezil to rivastigmine transdermal patch in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.; Methods: Prospective, parallel-group, open-label study to evaluate immediate or delayed switch from 5-10 mg/day donepezil to 4.6 mg/24 h rivastigmine following a 4-week treatment period.; Results: Rates of discontinuation due to any reason or […]

Effects of cranial electrical stimulation on sleep disturbances, depressive symptoms, and caregiving appraisal in spousal caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s disease

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to investigate the effects of cranial electrical stimulation (CES) on sleep disturbances, depressive symptoms, and caregiving appraisal.; Methods: Thirty-eight participants were randomly assigned to receive active CES or sham CES for 4 weeks.; Results: Both intervention groups demonstrated improvement in study measures from baseline scores. A trend toward […]

Vascular care in patients with Alzheimer’s disease with cerebrovascular lesions-a randomized clinical trial

Objectives: To investigate whether vascular care slows dementia progression in patients with Alzheimer’s disease with cerebrovascular lesions on neuroimaging.; Design: Multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial with 2-year follow-up.; Setting: Neurological and geriatric outpatient clinics in 10 Dutch hospitals: three academic, five teaching, and two midsize community hospitals.; Participants: One hundred thirty community-dwelling patients with mild […]
