This double\u2010blind, randomized, placebo\u2010controlled pilot study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of galantamine augmentation of antidepressant treatment for depressive and cognitive symptoms in older adults with major depression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty\u2010eight, non\u2010demented older adults (age &gt;50) with major depression were randomized to receive galantamine or placebo augmentation of standard antidepressant pharmacotherapy (venlafaxine XR or citalopram). Mood and cognitive status were monitored for 24 weeks using the 24\u2010item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both groups showed significant improvements in mood and cognition over 24 weeks, but no significant difference was found in change over time between groups.
