Filter by:The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lecanemab at sequentially ascending doses in subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).
This study in individuals with early Alzheimer's disease is designed to assess:(1) safety and tolerability (2) the capacity of ACC-001 and QS-21 adjuvant to reduce brain amyloid load as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
This is a Phase 1 study in healthy subjects to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY2886721 multiple doses, how the body handles the drug, and the drug's effect on the body.
Patients who were vaccinated with AFFITOPE AD01 during AFFiRiS001 will undergo a long-term follow-up period to get more information regarding the safety profile of AFFITOPE AD01.
This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group study will evaluate the effect of gantenerumab (RO4909832) on cognition and functioning and the safety and pharmacokinetics in participants with prodromal Alzheimer's Disease. Participants will be randomized to receive subcutaneous (SC) injections of either gantenerumab or placebo. Participants who consent to be part of the sub study will undergo positron emission tomography (PET) scanning to assess brain amyloid. The anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks in Part 1, with an option for an additional up to 2 years of treatment in Part 2, followed by an open-label extension (Part 3) until July 2020. The dosing for Parts 1 and 2 was stopped after a planned futility interim analysis showed a low probability of meeting the primary outcome measure with the doses studied. The study has converted to open-label to investigate higher gantenerumab doses.
This study is designed as a single ascending dose study in healthy subjects to evaluate safety, tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (PK), and Pharmacodynamics (PD) in plasma and Cerebrospinal (CSF) following single oral doses of E2212.
Dementia is a serious health problem showing an increasing prevalence rate with increasing age. In Norway, about 80% of nursing home patients have dementia. The mean age of nursing home residents in Norway is around 84 years. Disruptive and agitated behaviour affect 30-50% of all individuals with dementia at some point in the course of the illness. In addition, they have a combination of physical and psychological diseases which necessitates a close collaboration between different specialities in medicine and Old Age psychiatry. In collaboration with the communalities, our Old Age psychiatry services want to provide a new approach to this challenge and validate it on patient and personnel level.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of multiple oral doses of CHF5074 in young healthy male volunteers.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of progressive cognitive decline in the United States. AD is characterized by severe impairments in learning, memory and other cognitive abilities that significantly interfere with daily functioning. The neuropathologic hallmarks of AD consist of neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and selective neuronal cell loss. Amyloid plaques, which contain Abeta protein, are believed to play an integral role in the development of AD. Elevated levels of Abeta in the brain are also correlated with cognitive decline. Alzheimer's (AD) develops insidiously, making it difficult to identify early, yet treatment is most effective when begun during the early stages of the disease. Thus, it has become important for researchers to identify markers of early AD. This project will examine the relationship between four potential markers that may indicate the early development of AD: 1. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI)or normal cognition 2. Practice effects 3. Amyloid plaque binding on 18F-PIB PET 4. Glucose hypometabolism on FDG PET This project will recruit 25 subjects from an ongoing community-based study of memory and practice effects in cognitively normal, community-dwelling individuals who are age 65 and over (NIA #5K23AG028417-05). Each subject will undergo positron emission tomography (PET) with both 18F-Flutemetamol and FDG. The overall objective of this companion project is to study the biodistribution and binding of 18F-Flutemetamol in these subjects using PET imaging, which will provide biological evidence to support the overall hypothesis that failure to benefit from practice on a learning paradigm is an early marker of AD.
This is a study to evaluate the safety of multiple doses of AAB-003 (PF-05236812) in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease. Patients will receive either AAB-003 (PF-05236812) or placebo. Each patient's participation will last approximately 41 weeks.
