Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT00006187 ↗ The Safety and Efficacy of an Investigational Drug in Delaying the Progression of Alzheimer's Disease Terminated Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. Phase 3 1969-12-31 This is a 15-month study with two phases. During the first 12-month phase of this study, patients will be randomly assigned to receive either active study drug or placebo (approximately half of all patients will be on active study drug, the other half on placebo). The second phase is a 3-month randomized withdrawal period. For this phase approximately 10% of the patients will remain on the active drug.
NCT00190021 ↗ Donepezil Treatment of Psychotic Symptoms in Dementia Patients Unknown status Beersheva Mental Health Center Phase 3 1969-12-31 Conventional psychotropic medications may be used to treat behavioral disturbances and psychotic symptoms in patients with dementia and they are the drugs of choice for treating delusions and hallucinations. However the sensitivity to side effects in these patients often restricts the use of these agents (2, 3). Although, atypical antipsychotics have some advantages compared with conventional neuroleptics, they also are associated with side effects (5, 6). Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) enhance neuronal transmission by increasing the availability of acetylcholine in muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. According to findings of some researchers ChEIs have psychotropic effects and may play an important role in controlling neuropsychiatric and behavioral disturbances in patients with Alzheimer's disease (7-10). These agents may also contribute to the management of other disorders with cholinergic system abnormalities and neuropsychiatric symptoms such as visual hallucinations (11). Donepezil is a piperidine-based reversible, noncompetitive ChEI, which is indicated in the management of patients with Alzheimer's disease of mild to moderate severity (12-14). Preliminary observations suggest the possible value of ChEIs in the amelioration of psychotic symptoms in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT), dementia with Lewy bodies and patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (11-18). The results of our study (18) indicate that the addition of donepezil to perphenazine resulted in qualitatively superior clinical gains compared to higher doses of neuroleptic therapy without donepezil. The finding of the pilot study although impressive, stem from data regarding a rather small sample. The present (second) phase of the study will include a larger sample of patients. We now intend to examine 80 inpatients, aged 65-90 years old, suffering from DAT.
NCT00551161 ↗ Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study of Memantine in Alzheimer's Disease Completed Forest Laboratories Phase 4 2007-08-01 We are studying subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease who have been on a stable dose of any cholinesterase inhibitor [donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), or galantamine (Razadyne)] for at least 3 months, and have not previously taken memantine (Namenda). This is an open-label study, with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) as the primary outcome measure, along with neuropsychological testing, and optional lumbar puncture, evaluating patients on their stable dose of a cholinesterase inhibitor over 24 weeks, followed by another 24 weeks on memantine in combination with stable dose of cholinesterase inhibitor. The purpose of this study is to characterize the progression of disease using MRS, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, and cognitive outcome measures, and to determine whether changes in cognitive function on neuropsychological testing are correlated to changes in MR spectroscopic and/or CSF biomarkers.
NCT00551161 ↗ Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study of Memantine in Alzheimer's Disease Completed Northwell Health Phase 4 2007-08-01 We are studying subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease who have been on a stable dose of any cholinesterase inhibitor [donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), or galantamine (Razadyne)] for at least 3 months, and have not previously taken memantine (Namenda). This is an open-label study, with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) as the primary outcome measure, along with neuropsychological testing, and optional lumbar puncture, evaluating patients on their stable dose of a cholinesterase inhibitor over 24 weeks, followed by another 24 weeks on memantine in combination with stable dose of cholinesterase inhibitor. The purpose of this study is to characterize the progression of disease using MRS, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, and cognitive outcome measures, and to determine whether changes in cognitive function on neuropsychological testing are correlated to changes in MR spectroscopic and/or CSF biomarkers.
NCT01406522 ↗ Tacrine Effects on Cocaine Self-Administration and Pharmacokinetics Withdrawn Midwest Biomedical Research Foundation Phase 2 2012-10-01 No medications are currently available for treatment of psychostimulant addiction, a compulsive preoccupation with use of cocaine and related compounds. Tacrine, a medication that is currently prescribed for Alzheimer's disease, can decrease the amount of cocaine injections that laboratory animals choose to inject by vein. This project will determine if tacrine can also decrease cocaine-motivated behavior for human subjects in a laboratory setting.
NCT01495195 ↗ Combined Donepezil and Selegiline Effects on Cocaine-Reinforced Behavior Completed National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Phase 2 2012-02-01 No medications are currently available for treatment of psychostimulant addiction, a compulsive preoccupation with use of cocaine and related compounds. Donepezil is a medication that is currently prescribed for Alzheimer's disease, and selegiline is a medication used for treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Both of these medications can decrease the amount of cocaine injections that laboratory animals choose to inject by vein. This project will determine if combined treatment with donepezil and selegiline can also decrease cocaine-motivated behavior for human subjects in a laboratory setting.
