Case Presentation
•
•
•
Ms D is a 75-year-old widowed
retired office clerk with a diagnosis
of Alzheimer disease who was
brought to the Emergency
Department (PES) by her 3
daughters in January 2006 for
worsening delusions.
About 3 years prior to evaluation,
she had presented with short-term
memory decline and was
diagnosed with probable
Alzheimer disease.
About 3 months prior to
evaluation, she developed
paranoid ideation about men
trying to harm her, and one man in
particular who rubbed noxious
lotion on her back.
•
•
•
Over the prior 2-3 days, her
delusions intensified and became
more distressing to her and her
daughters.
She perceived men outside all
night shining lights into the house.
She barricaded her doors and
started carrying a knife for
protection.
She also endorsed mildly
depressed mood, low energy,
sleep disruption, and daytime
somnolence. No manic
symptoms.

Case Presentation (cont’d)
•
•
Laboratory studies
– CBC, comprehensive panel,
TSH, UA, UDS were
unremarkable
Neuropsychological testing
(2003)
– verbal IQ lower than predicted
– deficits in memory,
concentration, attention,
calculation, language,
visuospatial abilities
– MMSE: 21/30
•
•
Brain MRI (2003)
– 1.5-cm enhancing mass near
the cribriform plate consistent
with meningioma
– diffuse volume loss
– minimal periventricular FLAIR
signal
– follow-up scan unchanged in
2004
SPECT perfusion scan (2003)
– hypoperfusion to medial
temporal lobes bilaterally
– milder hypoperfusion to
parietal lobes

CATIE-AD trial
• Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness – Alzheimer
Disease
• NIH sponsored (minimal influence from pharmaceutical industry)
• Phase 1 compares:
–
–
–
–
risperidone
olanzapine
quetiapine
placebo
• Phase 2 includes a switch to a different antipsychotic or citalopram
Design
• 421 outpatients with
Alzheimer disease
and psychosis,
aggression, or
agitation
• multi-site,
double-blind,
placebo-controlled
• randomized to
risperidone,
quetiapine,
olanzapine, or
placebo
• flexible dosing
• followed 36 weeks
Outcome measures
•
•
•
Primary outcome measure
– time to discontinuation of treatment (TDT) for any reason
Secondary outcome measures
– number of patients with at least minimal improvement in CGIC at 12
weeks
– time to discontinuation of treatment due to lack of efficacy
– time to discontinuation of treatment due to intolerability or adverse
events
Contrasts with typical outcome measures in industry-sponsored trials
– e.g., Neuropsychiatric Inventory score at pre-specified time point
– outcomes not used in routine clinical practice
– efficacy (pharmaceutical trial) vs effectiveness (real world)

differences in
TDT for any
reason
Medians:

•
•
•
TDT due to
lack of
efficacy
Olanzapine
was superior
to placebo

Quetiapine
did not differ
from placebo
(p=0.24)
Secondary outcome
•
•
TDT due to
intolerability
or adverse
events
Placebo was
superior to
each
antipsychotic
medication
(p<0.005)
Secondary outcome
•
Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) indicating at least minimal
improvement
– olanzapine: 32%
– risperidone: 29%

Possible discussion points
•
•
•
•
•
•
Implications for my patient?
Interpretation of the results more generally?
Effects of population heterogeneity?
Psychosis vs agitation vs aggression?
Quetiapine underdosed?
What study should be done next?
