Alzheimer’s disease–input of vitamin D with mEmantine assay (AD-IDEA trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Background: Current treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders (ADRD) are symptomatic and can only temporarily slow down ADRD. Future possibilities of care rely on multi-target drugs therapies that address simultaneously several pathophysiological processes leading to neurodegeneration. We hypothesized that the combination of memantine with vitamin D could be neuroprotective in ADRD, thereby limiting neuronal […]

Memantine for AIDS dementia complex: open-label report of ACTG 301
Objective: To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of memantine use as treatment of HIV-associated cognitive impairment.; Background: The results of a 20-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of memantine in HIV-infected participants with cognitive impairment (ACTG 301) were previously reported. We report the results of the up-to-60-week open-label phase following the double-blind phase.; Method: Participants […]

Memantine in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia: negative results
We tested the efficacy and tolerability of one-year treatment with memantine (10 mg bid) in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). BvFTD patients aged 45 to 75 years, with a Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) score ≥19, were enrolled in a national, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (DBPC), Phase II trial. The primary endpoint was the CIBIC-Plus (Clinician’s Interview-Based […]

Antidementia drug use among community-dwelling individuals with Alzheimer’s disease in Finland: a nationwide register-based study
The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) and memantine use, duration of treatment, concomitant use of these drugs, and factors associated with the discontinuation of AChEI therapy during 2006-2009. We utilized data from a nationwide sample of community-dwelling individuals with a clinically verified Alzheimer’s disease diagnosed during the […]

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.; […]

Treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine of patients in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative
Objectives: To assess the clinical characteristics and course of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild Alzheimer disease (AD) treated with cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) and memantine hydrochloride.; Design: Cohort study.; Setting: The 59 recruiting sites for the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI).; Participants: Outpatients with MCI and AD in ADNI.; Main Outcome Measures: The […]

Memantine for treatment of behavioural disturbances and psychotic symptoms in moderate to moderately severe Alzheimer dementia: a naturalistic study in outpatient services in Austria
We conducted an open, 16-week study on the efficacy of memantine on behavioral disturbances and psychotic symptoms in moderate to moderately severe Alzheimer s disease in daily routine. Fifty-three patients of 20 outpatient centers in Austria were recruited. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) was defined as main outcome measure. After 16 weeks the total NPI score […]

Efficacy and safety of memantine in patients with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer’s disease: results of a pooled analysis of two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in Japan
Background: With the increase in the aging population, there is a pressing need to provide effective treatment options for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Memantine is an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist used to treat AD in > 80 countries worldwide, and studies in the USA and Europe have shown it to be effective in improving language […]

Memantine versus donepezil in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease: a randomized trial with magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Background and Purpose: To compare memantine with the most prescribed cholinesterase inhibitor (donepezil) from a clinical viewpoint when administered in early phases of Alzheimer disease (AD), and to find out whether memantine may produce changes in brain metabolite concentrations in comparison with donepezil.; Methods: In this comparative rater-blinded parallel group randomized trial we recruited a […]

Memantine improves goal attainment and reduces caregiver burden in Parkinson’s disease with dementia
Objective: Memantine, an uncompetitive antagonist of N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors, may have a role in managing symptoms associated with dementia in Parkinson’s disease (PDD), although its role in improving patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) has not been extensively investigated. PROs may be more sensitive than standard psychometric measures for detecting change in complex conditions such as PDD. The aim […]
