To describe the methods and baseline characteristics of a VA Cooperative Studies Program trial designed to compare the effectiveness of 1) alpha-tocopherol, a vitamin E antioxidant, 2) memantine (Namenda®), an NMDA antagonist, 3) their combination, and 4) placebo in delaying clinical progression in Alzheimer disease. Multi-center, randomized, placebo controlled trial 14 VA medical centers. 613 patients with a diagnosis of possible or probable Alzheimer's disease of mild-to-moderate severity defined as a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) total score between 12 and 26 inclusive who were taking an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. : 2,000 IU/day of alpha-tocopherol + placebo, 20 mg/day of memantine + placebo, 2,000 IU/day of alpha-tocopherol + 20 mg/day of memantine, or double placebo. The primary outcome is the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study/Activities of Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL). Secondary outcome measures include the MMSE, the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive portion, the Dependence Scale, the Neuropsychiatric Inventory, and the Caregiver Activity Survey. The majority of the enrolled patients were male (97%), white (86%) with a mean age of 79. The mean scores of the ADCS-ADL, and MMSE, at entry were 57, and 21, respectively. This large multicenter trial will address the unanswered question of the long-term safety and effectiveness of alpha-tocopherol, memantine and their combination in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease taking an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. The results are expected in early 2013.
