Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Early cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD) seem to be correlated to dysregulation of glutamate receptors evoked by amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide."1.42Aβ and NMDAR activation cause mitochondrial dysfunction involving ER calcium release. ( Cardoso, JM; Carvalho, AL; Ferreira, IL; Ferreiro, E; Oliveira, CR; Pereira, CM; Rego, AC; Schmidt, J, 2015)
" Moreover, NMDAR involvement causes the fatal activation of calpain, which, in turn, degrades tau protein into a 17-kDa peptide and possibly other highly toxic N-terminal peptides."1.33NMDA receptor mediates tau-induced neurotoxicity by calpain and ERK/MAPK activation. ( Amadoro, G; Calissano, P; Canu, N; Cestari, V; Ciotti, MT; Costanzi, M, 2006)

Trial Outcomes

Change in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI)

NPI:12-domain caregiver assessment of behavioral disturbances occurring in dementia: delusions, hallucinations, agitation/aggression, depression/dysphoria, anxiety, elation/euphoria, apathy/indifference, disinhibition, irritability/lability, motor disturbance, appetite/eating, nighttime behavior. A screening question is asked about each sub-domain. If the responses to these questions indicate that the patient has problems with a particular sub-domain of behavior, the caregiver is only then asked all the questions about that domain, rating the frequency of the symptoms on a 4-point scale, their severity on a 3-point scale, and the distress the symptom causes them on a 5-point scale. Severity(1=Mild to 3=Severe),frequency(1=occasionally to 4=very frequently) scales recorded for each domain; frequency*severity=each domain score(range 0-12). Total score=sum of each domain score(range 0-144);higher score=greater behavioral disturbances;negative change score from baseline=improvement. (NCT00545974)
Timeframe: Baseline, 26 weeks

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Memantine-1.9
Placebo0.3

Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC)

The scale is rated on a 7-point scale, using a range of responses from 1 (very much improved) through 7 (very much worse). The clinician compares the participant's current condition to the condition at admission to the project. (NCT00545974)

Longitudinal Changes From Baseline to 26 Weeks for Test Battery: CDR-SB, FAQ, TFLS, MMSE, EXIT25, UPDRS, Boston Naming Test

"Clinical dementia rating sum of boxes CDR-SB (0-18) high scores indicate high impairment.~Functional activities questionnaire FAQ (0-30) high scores indicate high impairment.~Texas functional living scale TFLS (0 to 52) high scores suggest better instrumental activities of daily living functioning.~Mini-Mental State Examination MMSE (0-30) low scores indicate low cognition. The executive interview EXIT25 (0 to 50) high scores indicate more executive impairment.~A modified unified Parkinson's disease rating scale UPDRS (0-199) high scores indicate worse disability.~Boston naming test (0-15) low scores indicate more retrieval difficulties."

Longitudinal Changes From Baseline to 26 Weeks for Test Battery: Letter Fluency, Category Fluency, Digit Symbol, Digits Backwards

"Letter fluency, score is number of words recalled starting with a specified letter for 60 seconds. There are 3 trials, with 3 different letters. The total number of correct responses is totaled for all 3 trials for the score. Low scores indicate high impairment~Category fluency, score is number of items generated belonging to a specific category (such as animals) in 60 seconds, low scores indicate high impairment.~Digit symbol, score is number of symbols that correctly corresponded to the random numerals entered in the form in 90 seconds. Participants are given a table of numerals with matching symbols, and a form with random numerals with open spaces. Low scores indicate high impairment.~Digits backwards, score is number of digits backwards recalled (range: 0-14), The participant hears a list of digits and is asked to repeat the digits backwards. Low scores indicate high impairment." (NCT00545974)
