Aniracetam (6), launched in 1993 in both Japan and Italy for the treatment of cognition disorders, is in Phase II trials in the United States as of this writing. In clinical studies it has been shown to cause some improvement in elderly patients with mild to moderate mental deterioration (63), and in geriatric patients with cerebral insufficiency (64). In a multicenter double-blind placebo-controUed trial involving 109 patients with probable AD, positive effects were observed in 36% of patients after six months of treatment (65), a result repeated in a separate study of 115 patients (66). A review of the biological and pharmacokinetic properties, and clinical results of aniracetam treatment in cognitively impaired individuals is available (49). [Pg.95]

Geriatric factors a variety of factors, both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic, that contribute to variable dmg responses in the elderly. These responses are not seen for every class of dmg. Thus, the depressant effects of the glycosides also appear to increase with aging (116,117). [Pg.283]

Drug-related problems in the elderly is intended to serve as a source of information and clinical support in geriatric pharmacotherapy for students as well as all health care professionals, e.g. physicians, nurses and pharmacists. Pharmacotherapy is of great importance to all mankind. Drugs are however powerful and must be handled appropriately. This is especially important for elderly patients. [Pg.4]

The efficacy document E7 (ICH 1993) states that the drug should be studied in all patient groups, elderly included, for which they have a significant utility. It also includes new uses, new formulations and new combinations of established medicinal products when there is specific reason to expect that conditions common in the elderly (e.g. renal or hepatic impairment, impaired cardiac function, concomitant illness or medication) are likely to be encountered. This also applies for when the geriatric patients response (safety, tolerability, efficacy) is different from the nongeriatrics. ... [Pg.25]
