Filter by:This study will investigate different donanemab dosing regimens and their effect on the frequency and severity of ARIA-E in adults with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and explore participant characteristics that might predict risk of ARIA.
Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacodynamics of Intravenous Administration of SHR-1707 In Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment Due to Alzheimer's Disease or Mild Alzheimer's Disease.
To collect Tau PET/CT imaging in older adults diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in the Mismatch Prospective Cohort Study (MPC-Tau) study to determine relationship to clinical, cognitive, and other biomarker data. Findings from this study will likely provide insight into the phenotypic variability of Alzheimer's Disease and other related pathologies.
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.
Approximately 90 patients, aged 50 to 80 years, with a diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease will take part in this research study. This study will be conducted in the US. There will be 3 treatment groups: 2 Active doses and 1 group will receive placebo completely by chance. Patients, caregiver, Sponsor, nor study staff will know which treatment is assigned. There are 3 periods in this study: Screening to confirm suitability, Treatment to receive study medication, and Follow-up to check overall health post-participation
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effect of a light treatment on sleep, memory and brain function. In people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease, sleep-wake disturbance is evident in up to 60% of patients. This can be caused by disruption of circadian rhythms and may affect our health and well-being. Circadian rhythms are the natural cycle of physical, mental, and behavior changes that the body goes through in a 24-hour cycle. Circadian rhythms are mostly affected by light and darkness and are controlled by a small area in the middle of the brain. They can affect sleep, body temperature, hormones, appetite, and other body functions. The circadian system plays an important role in the body and can affect sleep and brain function. The results of the research would help develop light-delivery methods to improve sleep and memory in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease who typically spend a significant amount of time indoors.
This clinical trial is focused on determining whether biological signatures of target engagement by a Centella asiatica water extract product administered orally for 6 weeks can be measured in comparison to placebo. This study will also assess the safety and tolerability of the Centella asiatica water extract product.
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, is characterized by cognitive impairment, mental and behavioural abnormalities, and social dysfunction. Current treatments can only delay the progression of AD, not cure it completely. In vitro studies have shown that Astragalus has toxic effects such as anti-hypoxia injury of nerve cells, anti-free radical damage, anti-excitatory amino acids, etc. It can be used to expand cerebral vessels, increase cerebral blood flow, improve cerebral microcirculation, protect brain cells, and repair damaged brain cells. However, the clinical effects of add-on Astragalus in improving cognition in these patients remain unclear. Therefore, this pragmatic clinical trial aims to determine the efficacy and safety of add-on Astragalus in improving cognition in patients with AD
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled first-in-human, Phase 1, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) and preliminary exploratory activity study of escalating multiple intravenous (IV) doses of IBC-Ab002 in persons with early Alzheimer's disease. The study will have both Single- and Multiple-Ascending Dose components.
The overall objective of this study is to compare the overall pattern of [18F]APN-1607 uptake in subjects with MCI, subjects with AD dementia, and healthy subjects.
