Cognitive subdomain responses to galantamine in Alzheimer’s disease
We investigated the effects of galantamine on cognitive subdomains in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Sixty-six patients with mild-to-moderate AD received open-label galantamine for 52 weeks. Cognitive function was measured using the Korean version of the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog-K). Response to galantamine was defined as “improvement or no deterioration” on the total scores of […]

Current treatments of Alzheimer disease: are main caregivers satisfied with the drug treatments received by their patients?
Background/aims: A full comparison of the satisfaction with treatment using the current Alzheimer’s disease (AD) therapies from the perspective of caregivers has not yet been done. The aim of this study was thus to find out the degree of satisfaction with the main available drug treatments in monotherapy for AD from this point of view.; […]

Galantamine treatment in outpatients with mild Alzheimer’s disease
Objective: To assess long-term effectiveness of galantamine in community-dwelling persons with mild Alzheimer’s disease.; Methods: Prospective open-label trial including patients with mild AD (NINCDS-ADRDA criteria) treated with galantamine for up to 36 months. Outcome parameters included ADAS-cog/11, Bayer-ADL scale (self- and caregivers’ ratings), 10-item NPI and CGI-change, safety and tolerability measures. Data are presented based […]

The prediction of response to galantamine treatment in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease
The prediction of efficacy in long-term treatment of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) is a major clinical issue, although no consistently strong predictive factors have emerged thus far. The present analyses aimed to identify factors for predicting long-term outcome of galantamine treatment. Analyses were conducted with data from a 24 weeks randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial to […]

Long-term effects of galantamine on cognitive function in Alzheimer’s disease: a large-scale international retrospective study
In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), it is important to consider long-term effects, not only in patients receiving treatment, but also in subjects in whom therapy has been discontinued. The present analysis evaluates the long-term effects of galantamine on cognitive function in AD in terms of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores for up to 7 years, using […]

Clinically meaningful treatment responses after switching to galantamine and with addition of memantine in patients with Alzheimer’s disease receiving donepezil
Clinical trials have shown the benefits of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as donepezil and galantamine, and an N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist, memantine, in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, little is known regarding the effects of switching from donepezil 5 mg/day to galantamine 16 or 24 mg/day, or regarding the effects of adding memantine to established therapy […]

Evaluation of the effects of galantamine on cardiac function in elderly patients with Alzheimer’s disease
Background: Galantamine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, is used as a first-line drug in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, it may have vagotonic effects, which may cause bradycardia and/or heart block in patients with or without a history of cardiac disease.; Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of galantamine on […]

Persistence with cholinesterase inhibitor therapy for dementia: an observational administrative health database study
Objective: To determine if choice of drug and ease of administration affect persistence of therapy with cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) for treatment of dementia.; Methods: An observational administrative health database study was conducted in 5622 patients aged >or=65 years who received a new prescription for donepezil (DON), rivastigmine (RIV) or galantamine (GAL) from February to May […]

Effects of galantamine in Alzheimer’s disease: double-blind withdrawal studies evaluating sustained versus interrupted treatment
To evaluate the effects of galantamine withdrawal, and compare this with uninterrupted therapy, two 6-week double-blind withdrawal studies (Studies 1 and 2) were performed. These enrolled individuals who had completed one of two 3- or 5-month randomized clinical trials (parent trials) involving patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In Study 1 (GAL-USA-11; n’723), […]

Retrospective study on the benefits of combined Memantine and cholinEsterase inhibitor treatMent in AGEd Patients affected with Alzheimer’s Disease: the MEMAGE study
Background: Combined therapy of memantine and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may be associated with higher benefits than either monotherapy.; Objective: This retrospective multicentric study conducted in seven Italian Ambulatory Centers for Dementia assessed the efficacy and safety of memantine 20 mg/day administered for 6 months in addition to an AChEI […]
