Filter by:The primary objective of the study was to examine the safety and tolerability of memantine in outpatients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's Disease.
To characterize the comorbidities and medications of patients treated with donepezil in a routine clinical practice and to verify the therapeutic response of these patients.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuronal cell loss. Amyloid plaques are believed to play an integral role in AD. Elevated levels of Aβ in the brain are correlated with cognitive decline. There are no approved ways to measure amyloid load in humans. Several compounds are under investigation. All of these compounds use radioactive chemical tags for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The most promising compound is 11C-PIB, or Pittsburgh Compound-B. This compound can be injected and a PET scan performed. This allows doctors to see the amyloid plaques in the brain, and to use this information to look at other types of dementia to see if there are differences and/or similarities in the plaques. We will recruit a total of 30 subjects, 10 from each of the following three diagnostic categories: frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Alzheimer's disease, and normal volunteers. All subjects will be given an [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose or FDG-PET scan (if they haven't had one in the past) and a PIB-PET scan. The overall objective of this project is to study the biodistribution of 11C-PIB using PET imaging in normal elderly volunteers and relevant patient groups.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ABT-089 in adults with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
This study is being performed in order to learn more about a new drug (possible as treatment for people with Alzheimer's Disease and other conditions with cognitive dysfunction (memory and attention problems)) and how it is handled by the body by giving the drug to healthy volunteers with different genotypes.
The aims of this study are to 1) examine the effects of AZD3480 and donepezil on the blood concentrations of each other and 2) assess the safety and tolerability of the combined administration of AZD3480 with donepezil.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Dimebon in combination with donepezil (Aricept) in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
A randomized placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of PRX-03140 monotherapy in subjects with Alzheimer's disease. The study consists of a 3-month double-blind treatment period and an optional 3-month extension period.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of 2 years of treatment with galantamine as compared with placebo of patients who have mild to moderately severe Alzheimer's disease (AD).
A randomized placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of PRX-03140 in subjects with Alzheimer's Disease receiving a stable dose of donepezil. The study consists of a 26-week double-blind treatment period.
