Donepezil treatment of patients with MCI: a 48-week randomized, placebo-controlled trial
Background: Treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) with cholinesterase inhibitors may improve symptoms.; Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, subjects with MCI entered a 3-week placebo run-in period followed by 48 weeks of double-blind donepezil (5 mg/day for 6 weeks, then 10 mg/day for 42 weeks) or placebo treatment. Primary efficacy variables included change […]

Treatment of the symptoms of Huntington’s disease: preliminary results comparing aripiprazole and tetrabenazine
Aripiprazole (AP), a dopamine (DA) D(2) receptor partial agonist, has recently been used to reduce schizophrenic symptoms, while tetrabenazine (TBZ), a DA depletor, has been used to treat hyperkinesias in Huntington’s disease (HD). The aim of this study is to define the role of AP on chorea, motor performance, and functional disability, and to compare […]

An open-label study of memantine treatment in 3 subtypes of frontotemporal lobar degeneration
There are currently no Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The objectives of this study were to explore the tolerability of memantine treatment in FTLD and to monitor for possible effects on behavior, cognition, and function. Forty-three individuals who met clinical criteria for FTLD [21 with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), 13 with […]

Decreased activation along the dorsal visual pathway after a 3-month treatment with galantamine in mild Alzheimer disease: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study
Visual perception has been shown to be altered in Alzheimer disease (AD) patients, and it is associated with decreased cognitive function. Galantamine is an active cholinergic agent, which has been shown to lead to improved cognition in mild to moderate AD patients. This study examined brain activation in a group of mild AD patients after […]

Effects of donepezil, galantamine and rivastigmine in 938 Italian patients with Alzheimer’s disease: a prospective, observational study
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) have been used to improve cognitive status and disability in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, while the efficacy of AChEIs (i.e. how they act in randomized controlled trials) in this setting is widely accepted, their effectiveness (i.e. how they behave in the real world) remains controversial. To compare […]

Plasma concentration of donepezil to the therapeutic response of Alzheimer’s disease in Taiwanese
Donepezil has been approved for the treatment for mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the therapeutic response rate varies from 20 to 60%. A higher oral dosage was suggested to have a better therapeutic response in reported results, but the plasma concentration of donepezil was not examined with respect to the therapeutic outcomes in those studies. […]

Safety and tolerability of rivastigmine capsule with memantine in patients with probable Alzheimer’s disease: a 26-week, open-label, prospective trial (Study ENA713B US32)
Objective: Rivastigmine, a dual cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI), is widely approved for the symptomatic treatment of both mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease dementia. Orally administered ChEIs may be associated with gastrointestinal (GI) side effects and add-on therapy with memantine, an N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist, approved for moderate-to-severe AD, may ameliorate such side effects. This was […]

Errorless practice as a possible adjuvant to donepezil in Alzheimer’s disease
Six individuals with probable Alzheimer’s disease (AD) participated in a phase 1 study employing a repeated measures, parallel baseline design testing the hypothesis that error-free experience during word production practice combined with an acetyl cholinesterase inhibitor would improve confrontation naming ability. While acetyl cholinesterase inhibitors are safe and delay cognition decline associated with AD, improvement […]

Long-term safety and efficacy of donepezil in patients with severe Alzheimer’s disease: results from a 52-week, open-label, multicenter, extension study in Japan
Background/aims: A 6-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was extended to evaluate long-term safety and efficacy of donepezil in community-dwelling Japanese patients with severe Alzheimer’s disease (AD).; Methods: 189 patients were enrolled from the double-blind study into a 52-week, open-label extension study. After a 2- to 8-week washout, donepezil was escalated within 6 weeks to 10 […]

Ginkgo biloba extract EGb 761(R), donepezil or both combined in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease with neuropsychiatric features: a randomised, double-blind, exploratory trial
Objective: This randomised, double-blind exploratory trial was undertaken to compare treatment effects and tolerability of EGb 761(R), donepezil and combined treatment in patients with AD and neuropsychiatric features.; Method: We enrolled 96 outpatients, aged 50 years or above, who met the NINCDS/ADRDA criteria for probable AD, scored below 36 on the TE4D, a screening test […]
