Filter by: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.
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.
The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of AclarusDx™, an investigational blood test detecting gene expression information, and intended to help physicians in making an Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis in patients having memory impairments.
Cognitively normal individuals, patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's Disease (AD) will undergo clinical screening, neuropsychological tests, blood and urine analyses, quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton (1H ) and carbon 13 (13C) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Each individual will receive minocycline oral administration for 4 weeks initially, after which MRI, MRS and neuropsychological results will be recorded. If no adverse side effects occur, subjects will continue minocycline administration for an additional 5 months.
This study will investigate the volume, function and composition of the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scanning technology in participants with memory complaints or early signs of Alzheimer's pathology.
The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of BMS-708163 in healthy young male subjects and in elderly male and female subjects.
This study is designed to test the relationship between measurements of brain amyloid using florbetapir F 18 PET imaging and true levels of amyloid plaque density as measured by histopathological assessment. The study will address the following specific aims: 1. To expand the number of subjects included in the A07 (NCT00857415) trial correlation analysis (measuring the correlation between the global visual rating of brain amyloid plaque density on an independent blinded read of the florbetapir F 18 PET scan and the cortical amyloid plaque density at autopsy as assessed by histopathology for subjects in the autopsy cohort). 2. To determine the sensitivity and specificity of an independent blinded visual read assessment of the florbetapir F 18 PET scan (Aβ+ or Aβ-) versus the final blinded neuropathological assessment made at autopsy.
