Results of the open multicenter prospective study of safety and tolerability of rivastigmine (exelon) in different titration regimes in mild and moderate Alzheimer’s disease
Treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors can cause tolerability-related problems in many patients. To facilitate the titration process, rivastigmine, a novel form of the drug (solution), has been elaborated. An objective of the study was to compare efficacy, safety and tolerability of rivastigmine (exelon) used in conventional capsules and/or solution and to assess adherence to this drug […]

Efficacy of acatinol memantine in mild cognitive disorder
An open 6 month clinical trial of efficacy of acatinol has been carried out in patients with mild cognitive disorder (MCD). Forty patients received acatinol and 20 patients of comparison group were treated with piracetam. Mean age of patients was 67,7+/-7,2 years. Patient’s state was assessed with a battery of scales, questionnaires and neuropsychological tests. […]

Galantamine (reminyl) in the treatment of severe Alzheimer’s disease
Twenty-five patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in moderate-severe and severe stages received galantamine in dosage 8 mg daily during the 1st month with the following increasing to 16 mg daily. Six patients received 24 mg per day from the 3rd month. The total duration of therapy was 26 weeks. 15 patients received in addition the […]

Use of memantine (akatinol) for the correction of cognitive impairments in Parkinson’s disease complicated by dementia
This study addresses the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with the NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist memantine on motor, cognitive, and mental disorders in patients with Parkinson’s disease complicated by dementia, as compared with a control group of patients not treated with memantine. Patients of the experimental group (32 subjects) received memantine (20 mg/day), while […]

The effect of memantine on sleep behaviour in dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease dementia
Objective: Two common and characteristic sleep disturbances have been described in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD); excessive daytime sleepiness and REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD). This study is an analysis of a secondary outcome measure of a larger study already reported, aimed to determine whether memantine has an effect on […]

Effectiveness and tolerability of high-dose (23 mg/d) versus standard-dose (10 mg/d) donepezil in moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease: A 24-week, randomized, double-blind study
Background: Currently approved Alzheimer’s disease (AD) treatments have been reported to provide symptomatic benefit, without proven impact on clinical progression. We hypothesized that the loss of initial therapeutic benefit over time may be mitigated by higher doses of a cholinesterase inhibitor.; Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness and tolerability of […]

A 25-week, open-label trial investigating rivastigmine transdermal patches with concomitant memantine in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s 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 […]

Effects of rivastigmine transdermal patch and capsule on aspects of clinical global impression of change in Alzheimer’s disease: a retrospective analysis
Background: The Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study-Clinical Global Impression of Change (ADCS-CGIC) scale is widely used in Alzheimer trials. It assesses cognition, activities of daily living (ADLs), behavior and global functioning. To advance the understanding of relationships between the ADCS-CGIC and scores from other commonly used tools, this analysis investigated the ability of each domain to […]

Rivastigmine transdermal patch skin tolerability: results of a 1-year clinical trial in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease
Background and Objectives: Transdermal patches provide non-invasive, continuous drug delivery, and offer significant potential advantages over oral treatments. With all transdermal treatments a proportion of patients will experience some form of skin reaction. The rivastigmine patch has been approved for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) since July 2007 in the US. The aim […]

Effect of donepezil on cognition in severe Alzheimer’s disease: a pooled data analysis
To better characterize response to donepezil in patients with severe AD, Severe Impairment Battery (SIB) data were pooled from four donepezil clinical trials (N=904). Changes in SIB total and domain scores from baseline to week 24 were compared between placebo and donepezil treatment groups (observed case analysis). Analyses were stratified by baseline severity (Mini-Mental State […]
