Donepezil Use Versus Non-drug Approach in Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Alzheimer's Disease : a Multicentric, Randomized, Open Study : the CHOLINE-2 Study
Interventional
Phase 3
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (Voir sur ClinicalTrials)
février 2022
août 2026
12 septembre 2025
Donepezil, as well as the other symptomatic drugs of Alzheimer's disease, is not any more
reimbursed by the French healthcare system, due to a controversy about its efficiency.
French health authorities currently preconize a non-rug approach based on cognitive
remediation or stimulation.
The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency of the 2 approaches (non-drug versus
donepezil) on the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease after 6 months of treatment.
