Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, biomarker and cognitive efficacy of investigational products in subjects who are known to have an Alzheimer's disease-causing mutation by determining if treatment with the study drug slows the rate of progression of cognitive impairment and improves disease-related biomarkers. This is an analysis study for an MPRP: DIAN-TU-001 Master NCT01760005
Study BP41192 is a randomized, adaptive, placebo-controlled parallel group study to investigate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics of single-ascending intravenous (IV) doses of RO7126209 in healthy participants. RO7126209 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.
The investigators explore the presence of AD factors beta-amyloid and tau in CSF and plasma to verify AD diagnosis in patients with acute hip fracture. Clinical dementia test is performed prior to operation. Blood samples and CSF samples are collected at surgery and blood samples are collected postoperatively at intervals. Mortality is assessed at 30 days, 3 months and 1 year. Morbidity is assessed at , 3 months and >1 year. Neuromarkers specifically addressing the inflammatory component are to be analyzed and correlated to outcome together with AD markers, as above.
This study will examine the hypothesis that changes in the cognition (i.e. thinking and memory) after anesthesia and surgery are correlated with changes in markers of Alzheimers Disease in the fluid around the brain and spinal cord (i.e. cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF), and/or changes in brain connectivity. The investigators will also examine whether different types of anesthesia have different effects on these CSF markers of Alzheimers disease, or different effects on thinking and memory after anesthesia and surgery, or differential effects on the correlation between cognitive changes and CSF marker changes.
The overall objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of implementing a quantitative process of florbetapir F 18 scan interpretation. The hypothesis is that the use of quantitative analysis will increase the accuracy of florbetapir F 18 scan interpretation.
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 study is collecting tissue specimens (blood, urine and saliva) from up to 1000 patients, with and without cognitive disorders, to store in the Bio Bank for future research. The specimens could be used in future research projects that could help improve the accuracy of diagnosis of a disease, predict who might develop a disease, help monitor the disease, or improve the understanding of the disease. Patients are only being recruited from Beaumont Hospitals Geriatric Clinic.
The underlying goal of this study is to assess 123-I MNI-187 SPECT imaging as a tool to detect ß-amyloid deposition in the brain of AD research participants and age- and gender-matched healthy subjects.
The underlying goal of this study is to assess 123-I AV83 SPECT imaging as a tool to detect ß-amyloid deposition in the brain of AD research participants and age- and gender-matched healthy subjects.
The underlying goal of this study is to assess 123-I AV39 SPECT imaging as a tool to detect ß-amyloid deposition in the brain of AD research participants and age- and gender-matched healthy subjects.
