Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess whether it is possible to carry out a research project with a nutritional intervention in senior's residence. Life in a small community is very different and above all unique, which could be an asset in a research setting.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of SAGE-718 on cognitive performance in participants with Alzheimer's Disease.
The STAREE-Mind imaging sub-study will examine the effect of statin treatment over a 4-year period, compared with placebo, on markers of brain health.
The study is designed to inquire whether the presence of periodontitis and different periodontopathogenic bacterial strains are associated with dementia diagnosis and with the degree of cognitive impairment in participants evaluated at a Memory clinic (Minnesmottagning). Specifically, by analyzing cerebrospinal fluid, the investigators intend to clarify whether the alleged mechanisms for Porphyromonas gingivalis in the aetiology of Alzheimer disease (AD) are supported in a Swedish population and whether they are specific for Porphyromonas gingivalis (as compared to other periodontopathogenic bacteria) and Alzheimer type dementia (as compared to other etiological dementia types), respectively.
The proposed project is a fully embedded pragmatic trial (R01), following an R61 pilot collaboration with Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota (LSS-MN). For this project: a) the training program for Senior Companions that was developed in the R61 Phase will now be delivered as part of a routine onboarding process provided by LSS-MN to all senior support volunteers in half of their program regions across Minnesota; LSS-MN will offer the PorchLight Project program to all regions and volunteers in the state during the final months of the proposed NIA project, consistent with quality improvement approaches; and b) LSS-MN will administer regular surveys to volunteers, clients, and their proxies (e.g., family caregivers) as part of ongoing tracking and quality improvement efforts. The University of Minnesota investigators will not collect data nor administer training, as these activities will be fully integrated into the workflow of LSS-MN. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA INVOLVEMENT: The University of Minnesota and collaborating investigators outside of LSS-MN will only 1) assist in survey item selection, 2) randomize the LSS-MN regions for the initial phases of the real-world trial for evaluation purposes, 3) analyze the de-identified data shared by LSS-MN, and 4) disseminate the project results in scientific, practice, and policy outlets/contexts.
In prior work, this team developed a telehealth primary care model (TIPC), designed in close partnership with patients and clinicians to address a widespread increase in telehealth use during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research team will test the TIPC intervention to assess support for patients among a population of persons with dementia (PwD). Participants will be enrolled in the study for a 12 month period. This study's aims are 1) to explore the impact of the TIPC intervention on patient-important outcomes, engagement with community-based support provided through insurers, advanced care planning (primarily identification of health-care proxy), and patterns of hospice and healthcare utilization in the target population and 2) to evaluate patient, caregiver, and clinical team perspectives of feasibility and acceptability of a TIPC model, and apply findings from this work to the development of a larger randomized control trial designed to assess long-term efficacy of TIPC intervention.
The goal of this Phase 2 Open Label study is to evaluate long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of XPro1595 on measures of cognition, function and brain quality in individuals with Alzheimer's Disease.
The proposed Phase 1 study will involve initial development and evaluation of a new service called Social Activities For Engagement at Home or SAFE at Home (SaH). SaH will enable PWD to participate in videoconference-based group activities with their peers-i.e., other PWD. SaH sessions will be facilitated by highly trained "Engagement Professionals," who will be SaH staff members that have a background in recreation therapy, activity coordination, or a similar field. The proposed study has three Specific Aims: Aim 1. Develop an Alpha version of the SaH app, including app infrastructure and preliminary activity content for live group sessions, as well as staff training and coaching modules. Aim 2. Examine the app's acceptability/feasibility (by assessing attendance, session length, and engagement/affect). Aim 3. Examine satisfaction with the app by directly eliciting feedback from PWD and life enrichment staff.
This is an open-label long term extension study for participants with Alzheimer's disease (AD) who have completed Protocol TB006AD2102 (lead-in study) or participants who would have been eligible for the lead-in study but were not enrolled (de novo). The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of TB006. The total study duration for each participant will be up to 113 weeks.
Phase 1b study to assess the pharmacodynamics, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of NIO752 in patients with early Alzheimer's disease (AD)
