Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Innovation Center for Neurological Disorders and Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, Beijing, China.
Background: The DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a multi-target neuroprotective drug, improving cognitive impairment in patient with vascular cognitive impairment has been confirmed. The efficacy of NBP in patients with cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NBP in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD though a clinical randomized controlled trail.

In Alzheimer's disease (AD) trials, participants are typically required to enroll with a study partner, which adds barriers to retention. Previous analyses of North American trial data found that most study partners were spouses and that such dyads had higher study completion rates than other study partner types.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Suita, Osaka, Japan.
Background: Cilostazol, a selective type-3 phosphodiesterase inhibitor, ameliorates β-amyloid accumulation by facilitating intramural periarterial drainage.
Method: Patients with mild cognitive impairment were registered in the COMCID study, an investigator-initiated, double-blinded, multi-center, phase-II clinical trial. The primary endpoint was the Mini-Mental State Examination score.
Background: Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) often experience burdensome neuropsychiatric symptoms, including agitation which occurs in both home and long-term care (LTC) facilities, and is associated with substantial increases in caregiver burden and LTC placements. AXS-05 (45-mg dextromethorphan/105-mg bupropion), a novel, oral NMDA receptor antagonist and sigma-1 receptor agonist, approved by the FDA for major depressive disorder, is being investigated for treatment of AD agitation (ADA). AXS-05 has been evaluated in 2 randomized, double-blind studies: Phase 2 ADVANCE-1 (NCT03226522); Phase 3 ACCORD (NCT04797715).

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, The University of Melbourne, Australia, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Background: Iron is vital for metabolism but can act as a catalyst for oxidative damage. Elevated brain iron, determined from biomarkers of iron (CSF ferritin and quantitative susceptibility mapping MRI) and from post-mortem measurement of brain iron, has been associated with accelerated cognitive decline in multiple Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical, cohorts. These findings supported the hypothesis that treatment with the brain-permeable iron chelator deferiprone may be associated clinical benefit in AD.
