简要总结

Probands with MCI are at high risk to develop Alzheimer´s dementia (AD). Simvastatin may lower the production of Amyloid, a hallmark of AD in the brain. The primary hypothesis of the study is that 60 mg Simvastatin significantly reduces the Clinical Dementia Rating -Sum of boxes (CDR-SOB) in individuals with MCI as compared to MCI receiving placebo or 20 mg Simvastatin

详细描述

This is a national multicenter, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial allowing for a minimum follow-up time of 24 months in conversion-free patients. Randomization will be stratified by prior use of statins.

The two strata are:

  1. "no-statins": patients without treatment with a statins and no indication for treatment (according to the guidelines of the German Society of Cardiology for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease); patients will be randomly assigned to one of 2 treatment (1) Simvastatin (60 mg) one tablet/day (2) Placebo one tablet/day.
  2. "low-statins": patients treated with low doses of Statins; patients will be randomly assigned to one of 2 treatment (1) Simvastatin (60 mg) one tablet/day (2) 20 mg Simvastatin one tablet/day.

  • Informed consent (according german medicinal products act, AMG §40 (1) 3b)
  • No participation in other clinical trials 2 months before and after participation in this study
  • Probands should only recruited for the clinical trial, when they are able to perform the informed consent; due to worsening of "memory function" in the course of the clinical trial, probands should not longer participate the clinical trial, when they is evidence, that participants were not longer able to give full informed consent.

  • Comedication of other statins in high doses; low doses equivalent to 20 mg Simvastatin are allowed if taken for max. 2 years before randomization
