S108-003 New Findings from Clinical Trials in Europe and the United States: Aripiprazole for the Treatment of Psychiatric Symptoms Associated with Dementia

Joel E. Streim, Psychiatry, Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA

Aripiprazole is a next-generation antipsychotic with a unique mechanism of action, which is indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and has been extensively studied for the management of acute mania. Two trials have been recently completed with aripiprazole for the treatment of psychiatric symptoms associated with dementia, in Europe and the U.S. The first was a community-based study, and the second was a nursing home-based study. Efficacy, safety and tolerability data from these trials will be presented, and outcome measures of value to clinicians and health care consumers will be discussed.
