Stroke Clinical Trial - The Ontario Neurodegenerative Disease Research

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The Ontario Neurodegenerative Disease Research Initiative (ONDRI) is a province-wide collaboration studying dementia and how to improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases including: - Alzheimer's disease (AD) - Parkinson's disease (PD) - amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease) - frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTD) - vascular cognitive impairment, resulting from stroke (VCI)

Clinical Trial Description

The Ontario Neurodegenerative Disease Research Initiative (ONDRI) is a research program designed to investigate similarities and differences of dementia among five diseases that will improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegeneration. The focus is on diseases that are associated with dementia: Alzheimer's disease/mild cognitive impairment, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), frontotemporal lobar degeneration, and vascular cognitive impairment (resulting from stroke). ONDRI is a province-wide collaboration between more than 50 of Ontario's world-class neurodegenerative disease researchers and clinicians, four patient advocacy groups, the industrial sector, and more than 20 clinical, academic and research centres carried out in partnership with the Ontario Brain Institute (OBI). Instead of only studying what's unique, our long-term observational study is seeking out the common early indicators and risk factors of the five diseases. Our mandate is to ensure that the findings from the data collected are transformed into new diagnostic methods that will help detect diseases earlier, improved clinical practice that puts patients first, and eventually new effective treatments that will slow the diseases from progressing or even prevent the disease so people can continue to enjoy the later years of their lives. More than 600 participants will be followed for up to three years and will complete assessments for genomics, gait and balance, eye measurements, neuropsychology, and neuroimaging and will donate their data to a comprehensive integrated data management system called Brain-CODE. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
