  • Patients with AD will be included if they
  • (i)meet National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke/Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (NINCDS/ADRDA) criteria for AD
  • (ii)score <=4 on the Modified Hachinski Ischaemia Scale (MHIS)

  • (vi)are male or female
  • (vii)have been deemed eligible to receive amisulpride for the treatment of behavioural or psychotic symptoms by the prescribing clinician, but have not yet commenced treatment l
  • l this does not apply to the control group (group 4), who may be on or off psychotropic medication, provided there has been no change in dose over the previous 2 weeks (6 weeks if depot)
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes

  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 140

排除标准

  • Healthy participants will be excluded for the following reasons:
  • (i)current or past psychiatric illness (such as schizophrenia), addiction (drug or alcohol), traumatic brain injury or epilepsy
  • (ii)prescribed psychotropic or other oral medication that might interfere with brain dopamine function in the past 2 weeks (6 weeks for depot medication).
  • (iii)medical conditions that might affect a person’s ability to tolerate a brain scan, such as significant respiratory or cardiac disease or severe kyphosis, or needle phobia (the latter because the scan required intravenous cannulation).
  • (iv)unable to give informed consent
  • Patients with SLP will be excluded for the following reasons
  • (i)past history of addiction (drug or alcohol), traumatic brain injury or epilepsy
  • (ii)prescribed an antipsychotic or other oral drug that interferes with brain dopamine function within the past 2 weeks (6 weeks for depot medication)*
  • (iii)medical conditions that might affect a person’s ability to tolerate a brain scan, such as significant respiratory or cardiac disease or severe kyphosis, or needle phobia (the latter because the scan required intravenous cannulation).
  • (iv)unable to give informed consent
  • Patients with AD will be excluded for the following reasons
  • (i)past history of schizophrenia (before the age of 60 years), addiction (drug or alcohol), traumatic brain injury or epilepsy
  • (ii)prescribed an antipsychotic or other oral drug that interferes with brain dopamine function within the past 2 weeks (6 weeks for depot medication)*
  • (iii)overt parkinsonian (facial masking, action tremor, resting tremor rigidity, bradykinesia) features (scores >7 on the modified UPDRS) (Ballard 1997) or other features suggestive of a Lewy Body Dementia including fluctuating conscious level, frequent falls, or visual hallucinations as a predominant feature.
  • (iv)medical conditions that might affect a person’s ability to tolerate a brain scan, such as significant respiratory or cardiac disease or severe kyphosis, or needle phobia (the latter because the scan required intravenous cannulation).
  • l patients with AD who are unable to give informed consent because of illness severity will not be excluded, but will require the carer to provide assent as personal legal representative.
  • Although MRI is required to optimise analysis of PET data in groups 1-3, alternative methods are being explored (for example creating a template from existing participants to map PET data on to), hence participants in whom an MRI scan is contraindicated will not necessarily be excluded.
  • *For group 4, participants will only be excluded if there has been a change in psychotropic prescribing (2 weeks for oral medication, 6 weeks for depot)
