Filter by:The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study to assess the safety and tolerability of ascending repeat doses of COR388 HCl in older healthy male and female subjects and a cohort of Alzheimer's disease subjects.
This proof-of-mechanism clinical trial study will test the efficacy and safety of thiethylperazine (TEP) in subjects with early onset of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). There is a strong scientific rationale for this study: TEP is a very well-known substance that has been available since 1961 and approved for the prevention and treatment of nausea, vomiting as well as vertigo. Therefore, it has a well understood pharmacologic background and promising safety data. Using AD mouse models, it has been recently discovered and confirmed that TEP promotes transport of toxic Aβ from the brain into the blood. More importantly, it has also been demonstrated to improve learning deficits in mice. The striking biological effect of TEP in preclinical testing and its known safety and toxicity profile encourages the investigators to investigate this in a multicenter clinical trial in subjects with early-to-mild AD in comparison to healthy volunteers. The investigators will assess whether TEP is able to enhance the transport of Aβ peptides from the brain into the blood in subjects with early-to-mild AD and improves cognitive efficacy.
This study aims to implement an intervention based on multiple, individualized multifocal tACS stimulation sessions based on individual PET and MRI information in patients with amyloid-positive PET with the hope that this leads to microglia activation and decrease in cerebral amyloid and tau depositions in human patients with AD.
Specific Aim: Demonstrate that statins have an effect on cerebral blood flow and neuronal activity
The early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is essential to enable patients to have access to the available treatments. However, there is a delay between the diagnosis and the onset of symptoms, which can range from 1 year to more than 5 years. In clinical practice, the hippocampal volume, measured by the Scheltens index, is currently used as a marker of the progression of the disease. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the patient's sex, age and ethnicity can influence the delay in the expression of cognitive troubles reported by the family at the first medical consultation, as well as to determine if there is a correlation between the delay reported by the family and the Scheltens index.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) describes the use of near-infrared light (which is not visible to the eye) to heal and protect tissue that has either been injured, is degenerating, or else is at risk of dying. Research suggests that the light delivered during PBM enhances the body's biochemical ability to store and use energy and increase blood flow, which triggers the body's natural healing processes. The primary goal of this study is to determine if PBM administered transcranially (through the scalp and skull) and intranasally (inside the nose) with a commercially available device is safe and tolerable for patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). Secondary goals are to examine whether tPBM has an effect on cognitive function and behavioral symptoms in patients with AD and whether tPBM has an effect on fluid biomarkers of AD. A biomarker is a specific physical trait used to measure the progress of a disease or condition.
This is a phase 2b, double-blind, placebo controlled proof-of-concept study of a an oral small molecule selective inhibitor of p38 alpha kinase, neflamapimod, administered for 24 weeks in subjects with mild Alzheimer's disease. The primary objective is to demonstrate significant improvement relative to placebo-treatment in episodic memory function, as assessed by the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test. Secondary endpoints include Clinical Dementia Rating scale (CDR), Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS), Mini-Mental-Status-Examination (MMSE) and Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of AD disease activity and progression.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, tolerability and efficacy of a new buccal film of montelukast in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
This study will test the effectiveness of an intervention for Veterans diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and the burden on their informal (family/friend) caregiver.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AVP-786 compared to placebo, for the treatment of agitation in participants with dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
