Behavioral interventions currently provide the most useful approach to addressing the behavioral and social needs of those with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's or other diseases. This randomized, multisite, 3-arm study will investigate the impact of computerized brain fitness vs yoga vs an active control group (wellness education) on changes in cognitive function, daily functioning and quality of life in persons with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and their partner. In addition, in vivo neuroimaging measures of plasticity during the pre- and post-intervention periods will be measured and compared between the three different treatment groups. These neuroimaging measures of plasticity will be investigated in their relationship to the cognitive outcomes within each group.
PLUG Dementia Trial: Patients will be screened at Intermountain Medical Center and at Intermountain affiliated anticoagulation clinics in the Salt Lake City region. Patients with atrial fibrillation that undergo a standard of care, clinically approved, left atrial appendage closure will be considered for study. All patients will be followed for 24 months, and will be assessed at the 3-, 6-, 12-, 18- and 24-months post-left atrial appendage closure as well as other visits deemed necessary for clinical care. All subjects will undergo protocol-specified laboratory tests and will complete 6 standard, validated questionnaires at each follow-up visit, except at the 3-month visit when only one questionnaire will be administered. A subset of patients (n=20), will receive a cranial MRI at baseline and 24-month visit. MRI PLUG Dementia Sub-Study: In addition to the above, 20 of the 60 subjects who are selected for participation in this sub-study will receive a cranial MRI at baseline and at the 2-year (24 months) follow-up visit.
The role of disorders of socio-emotional processes in cerebral diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, frontal temporal dementia, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, traumatic brain injury, stroke, focal lesions, has been recognized recently. Social cognition refers to a large group of emotional and cognitive abilities regulating inter-individuals relationships and it includes mainly theory of mind, emotional information processing and empathy. However, assessment of socio-emotional processes is still largely based on experimental tests that are not validated for clinical purpose. In addition their long duration of administration is not adapted to clinical examination. Finally these tests have not been standardized and normalized in French-speaking population.
A ten-week study to assess MP-101 in Dementia-Related Psychosis and/or Agitation and Aggression
This study is an extension of study I8D-MC-AZES (NCT02245737), the AMARANTH study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the study drug lanabecestat in participants with early Alzheimer's disease dementia at the time of entry into study I8D-MC-AZES.
This 6-month extension study will provide further information regarding the long-term safety and tolerability of intepirdine (RVT-101) in subjects with Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) who have participated in the double-blind, placebo-controlled, lead-in study RVT-101-2001.
This study seeks to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of nelotanserin for the treatment of visual hallucinations (VHs) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) in subjects with Lewy body dementia (LBD).
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing the efficacy and safety of ITI-007 versus placebo administered orally once daily in the treatment of agitation in patients with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
Brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease may precede symptoms of Alzheimer's Dementia by over 20 years. The Investigators hope to be able to identify Alzheimer's disease at its very earliest stages when in theory treatments are most likely to be successful in preventing further spread of the disease in the brain and causing dementia. The aim of EPAD programme is to develop new treatments more quickly to prevent Alzheimer's dementia. A major component of the EPAD programme is the EPAD Longitudinal Cohort Study which can provide subjects for the EPAD trial as well as data to improve understanding of disease before dementia develops. The Investigators will approach a broad range of people over the age of 50 who have previously taken part in various research studies and consented to being recontacted for further research. Participants will be asked questions to assess their memory and other cognitive function. The participants will also undertake a brain scan, provide a sample of spinal fluid, blood, urine and saliva to look at markers in these bodily fluids that may change in Alzheimer's disease. The Investigators will then follow these participants until December 2019 repeating these tests annually. This will be called the EPAD Longitudinal Cohort Study (EPAD LCS). The main reasons for EPAD developing a cohort are to help the Investigators understand more about what happens to people before dementia develops, and to help recruit people more quickly into the EPAD trials of new medications or other interventions expected to prevent dementia. People in the EPAD LCS may be invited to take part in the EPAD Proof of Concept prevention studies to see if interventions can modify the probability of developing dementia or cognitive problems (this will be subject to separate ethics approval and consent). Together EPAD LCS and EPAD PoC make up the full EPAD Programme.
