    This is the website for the NMDA receptor antagonist Memantine. It provides some general information about this class of AD treatment drugs. Since our project mentions the broad categories of AD drugs (NMDA receptor antagonists and cholinesterase inhibitors) this was useful to research the mechanism of action.

  • To identify and counter risks we considered the relevance to AD drug development of the following factors: (1) effective dosing of the drug product, (2) reliable evaluations of research subjects, (3) effective implementation of quality controls over data at research sites, (4) resources for practitioners to effectively use CT results in patient care, (5) effective disease modeling, (6) effective research designs.
  • encountered in AD drug development can be avoided by changing practices. Current problems with human errors in clinical trials make it difficult to differentiate drugs that fail to evidence efficacy from apparent failures due to Type II errors.
