Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a pharmacist-led, primary care-based de-prescribing intervention for people living with dementia (PLWD) and the person's care partners. The intervention consists of the following strategies: 1) a de-prescribing educational brochure designed to activate the patient and care partner; 2) a single telehealth visit in which an embedded clinical pharmacist discusses the benefits and harms of the patient's medications with the patient and care partner in the context of the person's goals and preferences; and 3) pharmacist-PCP communication in which the pharmacist provides tailored de-prescribing recommendations designed to be useful and actionable for the PCP. The investigators will compare the intervention group with the waitlist control group to see if there is a difference in the primary outcome, the proportion of patients who deprescribe at least one medication by 3 months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of social isolation and social interaction on the risk of dementia progression and brain function in SCD 1. To explore the association between social isolation and lonely SCD populations and the occurrence and progression of MCI and AD through cross-sectional studies, cohort studies and randomized controlled trials of SCD; 2. To clarify the correlation between different carrier states, resting brain function connectivity characteristics, and dual-task walking ability of APOEε4 allele and the progression of SCD to MCI and AD during the cognitive progress of people with SCD affected by social isolation; 3. Establish a predictive model of cognitive decline from SCD to MCI and AD, and apply it to the SCD population to carry out individualized interventions; 4. Confirm the protective effect of social interaction on cognitive level and brain function in SCD patients.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ACU193 infusions administered once every four weeks (Q4W) in slowing cognitive and functional decline as compared to placebo in participants with early Alzheimer's disease.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of amyloid related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) and investigate the treatment continuation status (e.g., continuation, interruption) after the onset of ARIA in routine clinical practice in participants treated with lecanemab.
Building upon prior work, the investigator team developed a communication intervention for older adults with ADRD who are considering a decision about cancer management (adapted intervention: COACH-Cog). The investigators hypothesize that for patients with dual diagnoses of ADRD and cancer, COACH-Cog will increase autonomy support of care partners and patients in the decision-making process, leading to greater acknowledgement and support of cognitive concerns and cognitive-related goals, thereby improving goal concordant care. The investigators are conducting a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT; cluster randomized by physician) including approximately 45 oncology clinicians and 130 patient/care partner dyads evaluating the effect of COACH-Cog on care partner and patient autonomy support, care partner well-being, goal-concordance, and communication.

(4) Characteristics of handwriting, gait, language, eye movement, biological samples (blood, urine, stool, saliva, etc.), images, EEG and other relevant markers in elderly patients.
Prospective interventional study with a device for comparing autonomic parameters among patients with different forms of cognitive decline
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of DMB-I for the treatment of patients with Alzheimer type dementia.
This is a randomised controlled study aiming to evaluate the implementation of a website ('Small Steps') to support the modification of participants' time-use behaviour to reduce the risk factors for dementia. 'Small Steps' website provides the tools for this with a visual representation of the participant's current use of time and allowing manipulation to demonstrate how small lifestyle changes may improve and meet sleep and physical activity needs. Participants will be assisted to make changes to current behaviours with the aim to reduce the time they spend sitting (sedentary behaviour), increase physical activity, and improve sleep duration and quality. Participants (aged 65 or older) will be randomly allocated to one of two groups, the 'Extended Program' (intervention) group or the 'Condensed Program' (control) group. There are 3 phases (Introductory, Maintenance and Follow-Up; each 12-weeks long) to this program and in total the program is 36-weeks long. Participants will use a tailored website to help support them in making progressive changes over the first 12 weeks. They will then try to maintain these behaviour changes for as long as possible. There will be in-person health testing during each phase and information about sleep habits, sleep quality, and motivation will be assessed using online surveys. Physical activity levels and sleep duration will also be assessed.
The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of MK-1167 administered to participants with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) receiving stable Donepezil treatment.
