Trial Outcomes

Efficacy of Memantine on Behavioural Symptoms in Outpatients With Moderate to Severe Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type Using the NPI - 12 Items Version Total Score.

"Change from Baseline in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) total score.~NPI is a validated scale that assesses behavioural disturbances in patients with dementia. The 12 item version consists of 10 behavioural and 2 neurovegetative areas. It provides both a total score as well as scores for a number of sub-scales. The frequency, severity and caregiver distress for each domain are measured. The NPI is based upon responses obtained from the caregiver. The total score is from 0 to 144. A higher score reflects more frequency and severity of the disturbances." (NCT00857649)
Timeframe: Baseline to Week 24

InterventionScores on a scale (Mean)
Memantine-3.90
Placebo-5.13

Efficacy of Memantine on Cognition in Outpatients With Moderate to Severe Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type Using the SIB Total Score.

"Change from Baseline in Severe Impairment Battery (SIB) total score.~SIB is a validated scale used to assess cognitive function in patients with moderate to severe dementia. Items are single words or one-step commands combined with gestures. Nine domains are assessed, and the total score is between 0 and 100. A lower total score reflects the loss of cognitive function." (NCT00857649)
Timeframe: Baseline to Week 24

InterventionScores on a scale (Mean)
Memantine-2.34
Placebo-1.86

Efficacy of Memantine on Functioning Using ADCS-ADL - 19 Items Total Score.

"Change from Baseline on the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study - Activities of Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL) 19-item version total score.~ADCS-ADL- 19 items version for moderate to severe AD will measure patient's functioning. This battery of ADL questions is used here to measure the functional capabilities of patients with dementia. The inventory is done by interviewing a person in close contact with the patient and covers the most usual and consistent performance of the patient over the preceding 4 weeks. Total score is from 0 to 54. The higher score, the lower impairment." (NCT00857649)
Timeframe: Baseline to Week 24

InterventionScores on a scale (Mean)
Memantine-4.36
Placebo-2.56

Efficacy of Memantine on Functioning Using CMAI - Long Form Total Score.

"Change from Baseline on the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) - Long Form total score.~CMAI - Long Form looks specifically at agitated behaviour in patients with cognitive impairment. It is a seven-point rating scale assessing the frequency of up to 29 agitated behaviours, ranging from 1 = Never to 7 = Several times an hour. Rating is based on responses obtained from interviews with the caregiver. The total score ranges from 29 to 203, with a higher score reflecting more frequent behavioural disturbances." (NCT00857649)
Timeframe: Baseline to Week 24

InterventionScores on a scale (Mean)
Memantine-0.26
Placebo-1.16

Efficacy of Memantine on Global Condition Using CIBIC-plus.

"Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change-Plus Version (CIBIC-plus). Improvement evaluated with reference to Baseline.~CIBIC-plus is a global rating that is derived through an independent, comprehensive interview with the patient and caregiver by a rater who is barred from knowledge of all other psychometric test scores conducted as part of this protocol as well as from reported safety data. The rating is made on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 = marked improvement to 7 = marked worsening. A score of 4 indicates no change." (NCT00857649)
