Filter by:Alzheimer's disease is a global health challenge. Efforts aim at developing an effective treatment able to meet the needs of patients and their families. Thus, the primary aim of this project is to investigate the efficacy of a non-invasive brain stimulation, namely repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), on cognition in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease. rTMS is considered a safe, well tolerated and relatively cheap treatment. The appealing idea of the intervention is to improve memory by directly modulating the activity of precuneus, key area linked to memory impairment. Patients will be treated with rTMS in two phases: an intensive phase and a maintenance phase for a total of six months. This project aims to provide a valid treatment to slow the worsening of symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer's and their caregivers.
This is a prospective double-blind randomized placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential cognitive benefit of the experimental treatment GRF6019 in subjects with severe Alzheimer's disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of multiple oral doses of DNL747 in subjects with Alzheimer's disease when administered for 29 days in a cross-over design
NMDA neurotransmission plays an important role in learning and memory. NMDA receptors (NMDAR) were found to decrease in the frontal lobe and hippocampus of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled drug trial for testing the efficacy of NMDAR-enhancer. All subjects will be allocated randomly to 4 groups: (1) DAOI-A group; (2) DAOI-B group; (3) DAOI-C group; (4) placebo group. The study period is 24 weeks. The investigators hypothesize that DAOI may yield better efficacy than placebo for cognitive function in patients with AD.
This is a Phase 2a, multi-center, open-label study of PTI-125 in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease patients.
This study is being done to learn about inflammation in the brain of those with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purpose of this study is to determine if 11C-ER176 is able to accurately measure inflammation in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Both patients (with either mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease) and healthy controls (participants without memory complaints or impairment) will be included in this study.
This research study is developed on an experimental design with randomized controlled intervention were participated 135 subjects with AD including 45 of the control group. It lasted 6 months with pre-post tests (T0-T1) executed before and after six months of treatment. By having in focus the evaluation of GPR therapy effects on cognitive, proprioceptive, depressive, autonomy, gait and life quality of the above mentioned subjects.
The investigators aim to compare the effects of a 6-month moderate intensity exercise training (ET) intervention to a low intensity flexibility exercise control condition (FC) on brain function, cognition, and physical function in cognitively healthy and physically inactive older adults (ages 60-80). Apolipoprotein E epsilon4 (APOE-ε4) allele carriers are known to be at substantially greater risk for cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cognitively intact APOE-ε4 allele carriers, and non-carriers, will be randomly assigned to 6-months of either supervised moderate intensity aerobic exercise training (ET) or supervised flexibility exercise control (FC). The ET and FC each contain a group based exercise component and are run in local retirement communities near College Park, MD, or on the University of Maryland College Park campus. The primary aims of the study are to compare pre-intervention to post-intervention changes in episodic memory performance and MRI biomarkers.
To evaluate the safety of brexpiprazole 1 mg or 2 mg after a 14 week treatment regimen for agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type patients who completed in a double-blind trial, and to investigate the efficacy of brexpiprazole.
