Filter by:The study was conducted with 44 patients who were diagnosed with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's Disease. Participants were divided into 2 groups intervention group and the control group. The intervention group was administered 20 grams of black mulberry concentrate per day for 12 weeks and the control group received no intervention thorough the study. Cognitive functions, antioxidant capacity, and inflammation markers were evaluated at the baseline and at the end of the 12 weeks.
The Arizona Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) is the National Institute on Aging's (NIA's) first statewide AD Center (ADC), the only ADC in the Southwestern United States, and a leading example of statewide collaboration in biomedical research. It capitalizes on Arizona's strengths in brain imaging, genomics, computer science and biomathematics, the basic, cognitive and behavioral neurosciences, clinical, and neuropathological studies of AD, the discovery and evaluation of investigational treatments, and the study of normal cognitive aging.
Diseases of dementia are chronic, untreatable, and cause a massive burden of morbidity. In this proposal, we seek to tackle the problem of better, earlier, and more efficient diagnosis using deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI). The study is divided in two sub-studies: 1) optimization and simplification of DMI protocols, and 2) a cross-sectional study of DMI in Alzheimer's patients and healthy controls.
JDOME is a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a computerized cognitive training with the Brainer web platform and aerobic training with the JDOME system vs. a computerized cognitive training with the Brainer web platform and aerobic training with a standard exercise bike in subjects with Alzheimer's Disease at early stage. The JDome BikeAround is a tool that take people with dementia on a virtual bicycle tour along the paths of memories. It combines an exercise bike, a dome-shaped projector and Google Street View technology.
The primary purpose of this long-term follow-up study is to assess the long-term safety profile of APOE4 homozygote participants who were administered gene therapy (LX1001) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in Study LX100101. A secondary objective is to assess the biomarker as shown by the conversion of CSF APOE isoforms from APOE4 to APOE2-APOE4. Additional secondary outcomes include amyloid PET scan, CSF markers (including Aβ42, Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio T--tau, and P-tau), and quantitative MRI (and other biomarkers that may be informative for this therapeutic approach). Other secondary objectives include instruments to assess cognitive and clinical AD and to evaluate if treatment with AAVrh.10hAPOE2 improves brain tau pathology with tau PET scan (LX1001-01 Cohort 3 only).
In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called BIIB080. The study will focus on participants with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to AD. The main question researchers are trying to answer is if BIIB080 can slow the worsening of AD more than placebo. It will focus on what dose of BIIB080 slows worsening of AD the most. To help answer this question, researchers will use the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes, also known as the CDR-SB. - Clinicians use the CDR-SB to measure several categories of dementia symptoms. - The results for each category are added together for a total score. Lower scores are better. Researchers will also learn more about the safety of BIIB080. The study will be split into 2 parts. The 1st part is the Placebo-Controlled Period. The 2nd part is the Long-Term Extension Period. The 2nd part of the study will help researchers learn about the long-term safety of BIIB080, and how it affects the participant's daily life, thinking, and memory abilities in the longer term. A description of how the study will be done is given below. - After screening, participants will first receive either a low dose or high dose of BIIB080, or a placebo, as an injection into the fluid around the spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid). A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. - Participants will receive BIIB080 or placebo once every 12 weeks or 24 weeks. - After 76 weeks of treatment in the Placebo-Controlled Period, eligible participants will move onto the Extension Treatment period, which will last 96 weeks. - In the extension period, participants who received placebo will be switched to high dose BIIB080 every 12 or 24 weeks. - Participants may be in the study for up to 201 weeks, or about 4 years. This includes the screening and follow-up periods. - Participants can continue to take certain medications for AD. Participants must be on the same dose of medication for at least 8 weeks before the screening period. - After the screening period, most participants will visit the clinic every 6 weeks.
This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of masupirdine compared to placebo for the treatment of agitation in participants with dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
This is a Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 18F-OP-801 in subjects with ALS, AD, MS, PD and age-matched HVs. 18F-OP-801 is intended as a biomarker for PET imaging of activated microglia and macrophages in regions of neuroinflammation.
The aim of this multicenter, cross-sectional, observational flash mob study is to investigate the prevalence of cognitive impairment in hospitalized elderly aged 65 years or older, and the recognition of cognitive impairment by healthcare professionals.
This cluster wait-list randomized controlled study investigates the effectiveness of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (Hong Kong version) delivered by trained supportive staff and volunteers for people in maintaining the quality of life and cognition in people with mild-to-moderate cognitive impairment in community and residential care settings.
