A good statistician in a trial team should squash this. But, trials take so much time and work and the value of a negative result isn’t immediately clear to involved investigators. Easy to see why we try to squeeze out some compensation from the data, even if this is bogus.

IF (and it is a huge if) one of these infusion-delivered AD treatments has clinically meaningful effects, I see a phase 4 clinical trial, with Industry contributing free/cheap drug, as the only realistic way to get this into the NHS.

Technology is a tool. It may help retain independence or isolate someone home alone with technology all the time. It may cost a lot of money for a gadget of little use or be a vehicle for accessing company and hrlp. We should employ technology well and test it proportionately.

Makes me feel less bad about yesterday's paper rejection. Just keep telling myself that we are doing good work and it will make a difference even if hard to publish and hard to get funded #impostersyndrome

Not the first time that lack of benefit has been shown. Yet, some learned colleagues continue to robustly advocate, against the evidence, use of antipsychotics for what they call “distressing psychosis symptoms”. As a psychiatrist, this pains me.

If you haven’t visited the newish and amazing Museum of the Mind at the Bethlem Hospital, here’s a great opportunity. Bit of a trek to get to, but well worth it. Free parking at the hospital or take the train to Eden Park.

Our NILVAD trial, led brilliantly by Brian Lawlor, sadly reports no benefits of 18 months treatment with nilvadipine in mild to moderate AD. Open access paper: journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…

Landmark study. Developing pathology of AD explains exactly why we see non-cognitive symptoms, sometimes many years before dementia, in our patients.

Actually, study showed that older people who participated in intellectually stimulating activities were less likely at mean 5 years follow-up to have dementia. Lots of obvious explanations for this. Brain training reducing dementia risk is the least plausible.

Some helpful slides. Proof of concept and efficacy signal present. Will this survive peer review? Are potential treatment benefits worth risks and cost? I couldn’t imagine this being made available within the NHS.
