Background: Among patients with Alzheimer’s disease who have had a response to antipsychotic medication for psychosis or agitation-aggression, the risk of a recurrence of symptoms after discontinuation of the medication has not been established.; Methods: Patients with Alzheimer’s disease and psychosis or agitation-aggression received open-label treatment with risperidone for 16 weeks. Those who had a […]

Background: Stroke is a common cause of cognitive impairment and dementia. However, effective strategies for reducing the risk of post-stroke dementia remain undefined. Potential strategies include intensive lowering of blood pressure and/or lipids.; Design: multi-centre prospective randomised open-label blinded-endpoint controlled partial-factorial phase IV trial in secondary and primary care.; Participants: 100 participants from 30 UK […]
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of pridopidine in Huntington’s disease
We examined the effects of 3 dosages of pridopidine, a dopamine-stabilizing compound, on motor function and other features of Huntington’s disease, with additional evaluation of its safety and tolerability. This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in outpatient neurology clinics at 27 sites in the United States and Canada. Two hundred twenty-seven subjects enrolled from […]

Objectives: To assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of 12 weekly infusions of solanezumab, an anti-β-amyloid (Aβ) antibody, in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Cognitive measures were also obtained.; Methods: In this phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 52 patients with Alzheimer’s disease received placebo or antibody (100 mg every 4 weeks, 100 […]

Background: This multicentre open-label trial examined the efficacy and safety of the traditional Japanese medicine, or Kampo medicine, yokukansan (YKS), for behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.; Methods: Sixty-three dementia with Lewy bodies patients with probable BPSD (M:W, 30:33; mean age, 78.2±5.8 years) were enrolled and treated […]
Two galantamine titration regimens in patients switched from donepezil
Engedal, K.,
Davis, B.,
Richarz, U.,
Han, J.,
Schäuble, B.,
Andreasen, N.
Objectives: In addition to inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, galantamine has allosteric-modulating activity at nicotinic receptors. This may make galantamine an attractive option for patients starting treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but also for those who have not benefited from their current therapy. This study explored outcomes in subjects with AD transitioning from donepezil because of insufficient tolerability […]
Memantine and functional communication in Alzheimer’s disease: results of a 12-week, international, randomized clinical trial

Post hoc analyses suggest that memantine treatment may provide communication-related benefits in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this 12-week, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of memantine (10 mg bid), the functional communication abilities of patients with AD (MMSE range: 10-19) were assessed using the Functional Linguistic Communication Inventory (FLCI; primary measure). Two combined subscales […]
