Title: CSP #546 - A Randomized, Clinical Trial of Vitamin E and Memantine in Alzheimer's Disease (TEAM-AD)

3. Written informed consent from both the patient (or surrogate) and caregiver
4. An MMSE score between 12 and 26 inclusive
5. Administration of a maintenance dosage of donepezil (5-10mg/d), rivastigmine (6-12mg/d) or rivastigmine (Exelon) patch (4.6 mg or 9.5 mg), galantamine or galantamine ER (16-24mg/d) for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to randomization

6. Current prescription with more than one AChE inhibitor
7. Current prescription for warfarin
8. Use of vitamin E supplements in the past 2 weeks
9. Use of memantine in the past 4 weeks or known intolerance
10. Estimated creatinine clearance less than 5ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula)
11. Use of amantadine in the past 2 weeks
C: Inclusion Criteria: Alzheimer's disease with MMSE 15-30, living in own homes, treated with stable dose of acetylcholine esterase inhibitor for \>3 months and remaining on that treatment for the study period

Exclusion Criteria: Already treated with omega-3 fatty acids, NSAIDs, warfarin, being an alcohol abuser, suffering from serious concomitant disease or not having a caregiver
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female

* Caregiver/study partner to accompany participant to all visits
* Study partner must have direct contact with the participant more than 2 days/week
* Able to ingest oral medication
* Daily DHA consumption less than or equal to 200 mg/day in prior two months estimated by an abbreviated DHA food frequency questionnaire
* Neuroimaging consistent with the diagnosis of AD at some time after the onset of the memory decline
* Clinical laboratory values must be within normal limits or, if abnormal, must be judged to be clinically insignificant by the investigator
* Stable use of cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine is permitted if doses are stable for 4 months prior to enrollment

Exclusion Criteria:

* Non-AD dementia
* Residence in a long-term care facility at baseline
* History of clinically significant stroke
