Title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, 6-month Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Memantine in Patients With Parkinson's Disease Dementia or Dementia With Lewy Bodies
Brief Summary: The purpose of this exploratory study is to determine whether memantine can provide benefits on clinical symptoms in patients with Parkinson's Disease Dementia or Dementia with Lewy Bodies.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients affected by PD;
* MMSE \> 21
* Hoehn and Yahr \<3

Exclusion Criteria:

* Presence of severe cognitive deficit
* Severe motor impairment (Hoehn and Yahr \>3)
* Medical illness potentially interfering with the training
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* The study population will consist of male or female outpatients at least 50 years of age with mild to moderate disease severity (MMSE 12 to 24 inclusive) according to UKPDS and DSM IV TR criteria (for PDD patients) and the third report of the DLB consortium (for DLB patients) and who have a knowledgeable and reliable caregiver to accompany the patient to all clinic visits during the course of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Evidence of clinically significant active disease, evidence of other neurological disorders, and current treatment with AChEIs.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Parkinson's disease;
* ability to ambulate 50 feet;
* ability to cooperate with balance testing;
* vitamin D level less than 40ng/ml;
* balance problems;
* ability to walk 50 feet without the help of another person

Exclusion Criteria:

* MMSE \< 25;
* another neurological or orthopedic deficit that in the examiner's opinion would affect testing;
* history of renal stones or hypercalcemia;
* unwillingness to not be on other vitamin D supplementation during the study
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects with early idiopathic PD (presence of at least two out of three cardinal manifestations of PD). If tremor is not present, subjects must have unilateral onset and persistent asymmetry of the symptoms
* Age equal or greater than 30 years at the time of diagnosis of PD
* Hoehn and Yahr stage less than or equal to 2
* Diagnosis of PD less than 3 years.
* Currently NOT receiving dopaminergic therapy (levodopa, dopamine agonist or MAO-B inhibitors) and NOT projected to require PD symptomatic therapy for at least 3 months from the baseline visit
* Use of amantadine and/or anticholinergics will be allowed provided that the dose is stable for 8 weeks prior to the baseline visit
* If subject is taking any central nervous system acting medications (e.g., benzodiazepines, antidepressants, hypnotics) regimen must be stable for 30 days prior to the baseline visit
* Women of childbearing potential may enroll but must use a reliable measure of contraception and have a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening visit

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subjects with a diagnosis of an atypical Parkinsonism
* Subjects unwilling or unable to give informed consent
* Exposure to dopaminergic PD therapy within 60 days prior to baseline visit or for consecutive 3 months or more at any point in the past
* History of clinically significant orthostatic hypotension or presence of orthostatic hypotension at the screening or baseline visit defined as greater than or equal to 20 mmHg change in systolic BP and greater than or equal to 10 mmHg change in diastolic BP from sitting position to standing after 2 minutes, or baseline sitting BP less than 90/60
* History of congestive heart failure
* Clinically significant bradycardia
* Presence of 2nd or 3rd degree atrioventricular block or other significant ECG abnormalities that in the investigator's opinion would compromise participation in study
* Clinically significant abnormalities in the Screening Visit laboratory studies or ECG
* Presence of other known medical or psychiatric comorbidity that in the investigator's opinion would compromise participation in the study
* Prior exposure to isradipine or other dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers within 6 months of the baseline visit
* Subjects on greater than 2 concomitant antihypertensive medications. If a history of hypertension, then a maximum of 2 other antihypertensive agents will be allowed provided that the dosages of concomitant anti HTN therapy can be reduced/adjusted during the study based on the BP readings in consultation with the subject's primary care provider or cardiologist. Use of any concomitant calcium channel blockers will not be allowed from the baseline visit and for the duration of the study
* Use of grapefruit juice, ginkgo biloba, St. John's wort or ginseng will be prohibited starting from the screening visit and for the duration of the study (as they interfere with the metabolism of isradipine)
* Use of clarithromycin, telithromycin and erythromycin will be prohibited starting from the screening visit and for the duration of the study as the combination of clarithromycin, telithromycin or erythromycin and calcium channel blockers has been reported to be associated with increased risk of kidney and heart injury
* Presence of cognitive dysfunction defined by a Montreal Cognitive assessment (MoCA) score of less than 26 at screening
* Subjects with clinically significant depression as determined by a Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI) score greater than 15 at the screening visit
* History of exposure to typical or atypical antipsychotics or other dopamine blocking agents within 6 months prior to the baseline visit
* History of use of an investigational drug within 30 days prior to the screening visit
* History of brain surgery for PD
* Allergy/sensitivity to isradipine or its matching placebo or their formulations
* Pregnant or lactating woman
