Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a new smell test works as well as the standard clinical smell test, if there is a link between sense of smell and variations in the retina, and if these results could be used as a way to identify early stages of Alzheimer's disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether the test is as effective and reliable as the standard test - Whether there is a link between the results of the smell test and the structure of the back of the eye Participants will: - complete a short questionnaire - have pictures of the inside of their eyes taken - perform two smell tests
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of BMS-986446 an Anti-MTBR Tau Monoclonal Antibody in participants with Early Alzheimer's Disease.
The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate diverse disease research using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, and store the samples for future use. Through this research, researchers hope to identify future treatments or even cures for the major diseases of our time.
The aim of the NODAL clinical trial is to demonstrate the feasibility of new, low-cost, non-invasive biomarkers of neurodegenerative pathologies as early Alzheimer and Parkinson, based on the estimation of the multimodal connectome.
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study comparing LIPUS-Brain transcranial low-intensity pulsed-wave ultrasound device to placebo in patients with Early Alzheimer's Disease. The primary objective of the study is to assess changes in ADAS-J-cog-14 scores from baseline to 72 weeks.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by significant memory loss, toxic protein deposits amyloid and tau) in the brain, and changes in the gamma frequency band on EEG. The investigator's lab found that boosting gamma waves in AD mouse models using light and sound stimulation at 40Hz not only reduced amyloid and tau in the brain, but also improved memory. The investigators developed a light and sound device for humans that stimulates the brain at 40Hz that can be used safely at home. For the present study, 50 participants with mild Alzheimer's disease will be enrolled and will use this light and sound device at-home daily for 6-months. Investigators will measure changes in brain waves with EEG, blood biomarkers, the microbiome via fecal samples, functional and structural MRI scans, memory and cognitive testing, and questionnaires at 3 in-person visits throughout the study. After the 6-month time point, participants will have the option of continuing in the study for one additional year and completing an 18-month study visit. This study will provide critical insight into extended therapy involving non-invasive 40Hz sensory stimulation as a possible therapeutic strategy for mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
This is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, adaptive-design pivotal study of sensory stimulation in subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Approximately 530 subjects will be randomized to 12 months of daily treatment with either Active or Sham Sensory Stimulation Systems. Efficacy will be measured using the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study- Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) assessment and a combined statistical test (CST) of the ADCS-ADL and the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE).
The purpose of this study is to generate preliminary data on the benefit of computerized cognitive training and Tai Chi- Qi Gong training in participants with Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease. It is hypothesized that participants in the experimental training condition will perform better on outcomes related to cognition, functioning, and mood at follow-up compared to participants assigned to the active control condition.
Data collection based on this study will allow us to collect neurophysiological and cognitive data collected from in-ear EEG recordings of the Autosomal dominant alzheimer's disease population in Colombia
The DETECT-AD study (stands for "Digital Evaluations and Technologies Enabling Clinical Translation for Alzheimer's Disease") is a new study designed to improve clinical trials for early Alzheimer's disease. DETECT-AD uses specialized home-based digital devices (electronic scale, electronic pill box, under-the-mattress sleep sensor, motion activity sensors, wrist watch activity tracker, driving sensor, and computer software) to see if the devices will improve clinical trial assessments. This 36- month-long study will simulate a clinical trial to determine how well the home system detects clinically meaningful changes. Participants in DETECT will receive a brain scan to assess their risk for developing Alzheimer's Disease. After the scan, homes will be outfitted with the devices*. Participants will be asked to simply go about their daily routines while data is collected in the background by the digital devices. The scientists will see if there is a change in the digital assessments in four key areas of life activity: mobility (walking speed), cognition (computer use), sleep (sleep times), and socialization (time spent out of home). Participants will be asked to take a daily multivitamin as a study 'drug' to mimic clinical trial conditions. Using these methods, the DETECT study will produce outcome measures that reflect real-world everyday function. Establishing the superiority of these novel methods compared to conventional methods (for example, exams in a clinic) will provide a potential new pathway for speeding the development of muchneeded new treatments for Alzheimer's
