Filter by:The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety, effectiveness and tolerability of the study drug called Benfotiamine which may delay or slow the progression of the symptoms of early Alzheimer's disease.
This study is designed to evaluate the impact on the quality of life and wellbeing of a person-centered online dance program on people living with dementia or MCI and care partners. The duration of the study will be 1 year. Each participant in the study will be followed for approximately 4 months. The study includes joining a weekly 1-hour dance program online on Zoom for 12 weeks. Prior and after the dance program, participants will meet with the research coordinator to answer some questionnaires about wellbeing and reflections on their experience in the program. After the completion of the dance program, participants will be invited to join a focus group to reflect of the impact of the program with fellow participants. The study will enroll up to 72 participants. This includes 36 dyads of persons living with dementia or MCI and their care partners. The study will enroll community-dwelling people living with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or mild to moderate-stage dementia and care partners living in the United States.
The goal of this clinical trial is aims to: 1. Translate and culturally adapt the Cognitive Leisure Activity Scale (CLAS) into Chinese and Conduct reliability and validity tests for the Chinese version of CLAS. 2. Investigate the correlation between cognitive leisure activity levels and cognitive function in the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). 3. Clarify the regulatory mechanisms of cognitive leisure activity levels on the neural circuits of patients in the preclinical stage of AD.
In the current study, we will examine how two types of concentration meditation practices affect plasma biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). We will also examine the effects of the two types of meditation practices on emotional well-being and episodic memory. Healthy adults aged 18-35 who meet all eligibility criteria will be invited to this study. Participants will be asked to engage in one week of daily meditation practice or no-intervention control task at home. They will also be asked to visit the lab twice, once before and once after the intervention, to provide blood samples to assess plasma biomarkers of AD and to complete emotion questionnaires and a memory test.
Leucettinib-21 First-in-Human Phase 1 Study in 4 Parts: Single (Part 1) and Multiple (Part 3) Ascending Doses, and Food-Effect (Part 2) in Healthy Subjects, and Single Dose (Part 4) in People with Down Syndrome (DS) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). For Parts 1, 3 and 4, safety and tolerability of an oral administration of Leucettinib-21 will be assessed as primary objectives. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic biomarkers will be investigated as secondary objectives. For Part 2, the effect of high fat meal will be evaluated on the pharmacokinetics parameters after an oral administration of Leucettinib-21.
The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate diverse disease research using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, and store the samples for future use. Through this research, researchers hope to identify future treatments or even cures for the major diseases of our time.
Studies indicate that the intestinal microbiota could have an implication in Alzheimer's disease; recently, a positive relationship has been established between levels of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cerebral amyloidosis and a negative relationship between the production of the chain fatty acid cuts butyrate by the intestinal microbiota and cerebral amyloidosis. Currently there is no effective treatment for Alzheimer's, but studies indicate that a healthy diet such as the Mediterranean diet and physical exercise delay the symptoms of this disease. For all these reasons, it is postulated that introducing changes in the intestinal microbiota through diet may be a new treatment or serve as an adjuvant treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacodynamics of Intravenous Administration of SHR-1707 In Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment Due to Alzheimer's Disease or Mild Alzheimer's Disease.
In this study the investigators explore a pragmatic strategy to increase cognitive screening rates in the community. The investigators will compare the monetary value of different combinations of SCD questionnaires, digital cognitive tests, and blood Alzheimer's Disease (AD) biomarkers to identify the best approach for primary care settings.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test SNK01 in participants with moderate Alzheimer's Disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is SNK01 safe and tolerable when administered every 3 weeks for up to 1 year as an intravenous infusion 2. Can SNK01 administration improve cognitive assessment scores and biomarkers
