Filter by:The early assessment of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease remains difficult because of the lack of predictive end-point. The use of a battery including different parameters could improve this early development of new drugs. Nevertheless, the interest of such a battery should previously be validated with the yet marketed AD drugs
Primary Objective: - To assess the safety and tolerability of escalating single and multiple doses of SAR228810 in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of SAR228810 after escalating single and multiple doses of SAR228810 in AD patients
This study will investigate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ABT-126 in up to 20 male and female subjects, between 55 to 90 years of age with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease on stable doses of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
The aim is to examine the effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) applied at the anodic left Cortex DorsoLateral PreFrontal (CDLPF) of patients with early Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study included 15 patients treated with rTMS and whose medication reference is stabilized for 3 months by IAChE. Patients with early AD or related disease will be selected in the MCRR of Besançon and the psychiatric department of the University Hospital of Besançon. After giving informed consent, patients will be evaluated by a psychiatrist using the Mattis Clinical Demantia Rate (CDR), the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). The complete assessment takes 40 minutes. A second evaluation will be realized by a neuropsychologist takes around 120 minutes using Mattis CDR, Grober Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test, Trail Making Test (TMT), Crossing of Test (COT), Isaacs Set Test (STI) , Clock-Drawing Test (COT), Signoret's Battery of Cognitive Efficacy (BEC96), Rey-complex figure test-copy and Picture naming 80 items test (DO80). Each rTMS session runs 20 minutes during which pulse trains of 5 seconds of 10 Hz spaced 25 seconds (2 trains of pulses per minute or 40 pulse trains per session) will be delivered. A psychometric assessment will be conducted again at the end of treatment week and one month after stopping treatment. A neuropsychometric assessment will be conducted one month after stopping the treatment. Scales of comfort and acceptability will also be proposed to the patient to determine whether any gene is caused by this treatment. Moreover a questionnaire will be proposed to the caregivers (at baseline, at the end of the treatment and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after stopping the sessions) using Resource Utilisation Dementia (RUD), Apathy Inventory (AI), Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scale, Quality of Life in Alzheimer's disease (QoL-AD) scale, Questionnaire of recent change of the personality (CP6). The population of this study will be comprised of patients between 60 to 85 years-old with early Alzheimer's characterized according to NINCDS-ADRADA criteria. These patients will be recruited on a voluntary basis, after notification and consent in the research center. This study was conducted over a period of 15 months.
This is a phase 2 double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled study to investigate the effects of repeated transcranial direct current stimulation for the treatment of apathy in moderate Alzheimer's Disease in patients selected from an outpatient clinics in São Paulo, Brazil.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of galantamine in patients who failed to benefit from donepezil (patients switching from donepezil). In clinical practice, it is expected that galantamine will be used in patients switching from donepezil due to the insufficient efficacy of donepezil.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate sleep quality in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease treated with anticholinesterase drugs in clinical practice.
Today Alzheimers disease can not be cured. Animal experiments have shown that the hormone GLP-1 can improve memory in Alzheimer-prone mice. The investigators hypothesis is that a 6-month treatment with the GLP-1 receptor stimulating drug liraglutide will reduce the intracerebral amyloid deposition in the central nervous system (CNS) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and thereby reduce the clinical symptoms of the disease.
This is a Phase 1, Randomized, Placebo−Controlled, Double−Blind, Study of Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Velusetrag in Healthy Elderly Subjects.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and is the fourth leading cause of death among people 65 years of age and older. The global prevalence of the disease will increase significantly as the population ages, unless preventative treatments can be identified and marketed. The present study seeks to evaluate AZD3480 (TC-1734) compared to an approved medication (donepezil) shown to improve cognition and function in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
