Additional use of Aβ₄₂/Aβ₄₀ ratio with cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers P-tau and Aβ₄₂ increases the level of evidence of Alzheimer’s disease pathophysiological process in routine practice

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers have recently been included in the criteria for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Since interpretation of CSF profile requires the combination of three parameters, biological data are not always conclusive and isolated elevation of phosphorylated tau (P-tau) or reduction of amyloid-β (Aβ)42 alone can be observed. In these cases, […]

Background: Bapineuzumab, a humanized anti-amyloid-beta monoclonal antibody, is in clinical development for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.; Methods: We conducted two double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trials involving patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease–one involving 1121 carriers of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele and the other involving 1331 noncarriers. Bapineuzumab or placebo, with doses varying […]
Effects of cilostazol on cognition and regional cerebral blood flow in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and cerebrovascular disease: a pilot study

Iwamoto, Toshihiko
Aim: It remains unknown whether antiplatelet agents have a preventive effect on cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We investigated the effects of cilostazol, an antiplatelet agent and cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitor, on cognition and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in elderly patients with AD and cerebrovascular disease (CVD).; Methods: A […]
PF-04494700, an oral inhibitor of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), in Alzheimer disease
Sabbagh, Marwan N.,

Schweizer, Edward,
Galasko, Douglas
Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PF-04494700, an oral inhibitor of receptor for advanced glycation end products, in patients with mild-to-moderate dementia of the Alzheimer type.; Methods: Patients aged 50 years and older who met the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Diseases and Stroke/Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association criteria for Alzheimer […]
Evaluating the cognitive effects of donepezil 23 mg/d in moderate and severe Alzheimer’s disease: analysis of effects of baseline features on treatment response

Doody, Rachelle,
Farlow, Martin,
Liu, Liang,
Mackell, Joan,
Fain, Randi
Background: Treatment of Alzheimer’s disease with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors can result in symptomatic benefits, but patients often show variable responses. The objective of this post hoc analysis was to investigate relationships between easily identifiable baseline characteristics/demographics and cognitive response in patients treated with either donepezil 23 mg/d or 10 mg/d and to identify factors potentially influencing response.; Methods: […]
Safety and efficacy of methylphenidate for apathy in Alzheimer’s disease: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial

Herrmann, Nathan,
Scherer, Roberta W.,
Bachman, David L.,
Mintzer, Jacobo E.
Objective: In a recent crossover trial, methylphenidate treatment decreased apathy in Alzheimer’s disease. We further assessed this finding in the Apathy in Dementia Methylphenidate Trial (ADMET). Method: Six-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial enrolling Alzheimer’s disease participants (NINCDS-ADRDA criteria) with apathy assigned to methylphenidate 20 mg daily or placebo, conducted from June 2010 to December […]
