FAQs for people taking part in the trial

Was I allocated the active or placebo patches?

We anticipate that you will be receiving a letter from your local NHS centre explaining which arm of the trial you were in. This will provide information about whether you were taking Rivastigmine, the active drug or the placebo ‘dummy’ patches.

What are the results of the trial?

We are currently analysing the results of the trial and preparing the results for publication. We are working hard to finalise the main results to share with you. There are several steps in this including checking the data for accuracy, testing the effect of the drug on the many measurements that you provided, and writing the paper. In tandem we are preparing summaries of the results to share with you and will update this website with some anticipated timelines as soon as these are finalised.
