Safety and efficacy of galantamine (Reminyl) in severe Alzheimer’s disease (the SERAD study): a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial
Background: The efficacy of galantamine has been shown in patients with mild, moderate, and advanced moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here we report its efficacy in patients with severe AD.; Methods: Between December, 2003, and March, 2007, patients aged 84 (SD 6) years with severe AD (mini-mental state examination [MMSE] score 5-12 points), in a nursing […]

Safety and tolerability of donepezil in mild cognitive impairment: open-label extension study
Following a 48-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of donepezil in 821 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), safety and tolerability of donepezil (10 mg) were further evaluated in a 28-week extension study. Of 499 participants who completed the double-blind phase, 145 enrolled in the open-label study. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded throughout. Overall, 57.4% […]

Safety/Tolerability and efficacy of rivastigmine in taiwanese patients with Alzheimer’s disease: a prospective post-marketing surveillance study
Background and Objectives: Rivastigmine is approved for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate dementia in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The drug was launched in Taiwan in 2000. The primary objective of this post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study was to describe the safety/tolerability of treatment with rivastigmine capsules in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The secondary objectives […]

Effects of cholinesterase inhibitors on visual attention in drivers with Alzheimer disease
Objective: We conducted a combined observational cohort and case-control study in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) to assess the effects of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment on cognitive functions important for driving.; Methods: Performance of 24 outpatients with newly diagnosed (untreated) early-stage AD was compared before beginning ChEI (pre-ChEI) and after 3 months of therapy (post-ChEI) […]

Treatment with galantamine and time to nursing home placement in Alzheimer’s disease patients with and without cerebrovascular disease
Objective: This study evaluated patient and treatment (galantamine and other acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs)) factors associated with the time until nursing home placement (NHP) in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with and without cerebrovascular disease (CVD).; Methods: Re-contact follow-up study conducted in 2004 of 548 patients who had previously participated in RCTs with galantamine. Time to […]

Donepezil treatment of older adults with cognitive impairment and depression (DOTCODE study): clinical rationale and design
Treatment strategies for patients with depression and cognitive impairment (DEP-CI), who are at high risk to develop a clinical diagnosis of dementia, are not established. This issue is addressed in the donepezil treatment of cognitive impairment and depression (DOTCODE) pilot clinical trial. The DOTCODE study is the first long-term treatment trial that assesses differences in […]

Vitamin E and memantine in Alzheimer’s disease: clinical trial methods and baseline data
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been associated with both oxidative stress and excessive glutamate activity. A clinical trial was designed to compare the effectiveness of (i) alpha-tocopherol, a vitamin E antioxidant; (ii) memantine (Namenda), an N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist; (iii) their combination; and (iv) placebo in delaying clinical progression in AD.; Methods: The Veterans Affairs Cooperative Studies […]

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 […]

Potential benefits of reducing medication-related anticholinergic burden for demented older adults: a prospective cohort study
Aim: Medication-related anticholinergic burden is a quality indicator for geriatric pharmacotherapy; however, little is known regarding the benefits of reducing anticholinergic burden for demented patients; Methods: Demented residents in a Veteran Home were enrolled for this study and an educational program was held for primary care physicians providing services at the Veterans Home. Residents were […]
