Filter by:This study will investigate the efficacy of novel biomarkers, namely blood-based biomarkers, pupillometry and actigraphy to track and predict progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Furthermore, the study will investigate the diagnostic value of pupillometry and actigraphy for AD.
In an online randomized trial of Safety in Dementia with national recruitment and longitudinal follow-up, we will recruit informal caregivers of community-dwelling adults with dementia who have firearm access.
In this clinical trial, five strains of probiotics (Bifidobacterium breve Bv-889, B. longum subspecies infantis BLI-02, B. bifidum VDD088, B. animalis subsp. lactis CP-9, Lactobacillus plantarum PL-02) with anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory functions will been applied to slow down the development of the Alzheimer's disease through regulating the intestinal flora and immune system of patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease symptoms. The efficacy of probiotic treatment against Alzheimer's disease will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and effect of study drug LY3372689 in participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease
Hydrogen sulfide is a signaling molecule that is important for vascular health. Because vascular factors such as hypertension and high cholesterol are risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, we hypothesize that hydrogen sulfide plays an important role in brain health as well. We will compare blood levels of hydrogen sulfide across groups of people with and without dementia. We will also look at the relationship between hydrogen sulfide, cognitive dysfunction and measures of brain microvascular disease examine the contribution of hydrogen sulfide to cognitive decline. Our goal is to identify a biomarker of vascular dysfunction in dementia.
A clinical study to evaluate the long-term safety of Sodium Oligomannate Capsules (GV-971)
The purpose of this research is to determine if training in memory support aids and healthy lifestyle activities (physical exercise, mentally stimulating activities and stress management) can have a positive effect on memory, thinking, and activities that people do every day. Participation in this study will involve being placed into one of two groups: a Self-Guided Intervention Group or a Structured Intervention Group. Both groups will be asked to attend group sessions in which they will be provided education on memory support strategies and lifestyle changes. The Structured Intervention Group will also be provided with an iPad and a digital application (called EMMA) to track their activity. Study participation involves a 6-month intervention and completing outcome measures at 4 different time points for up to a year.
A 76-week safety and efficacy study of simufilam (PTI-125) given twice daily to participants with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD) for 76 weeks. Approximately 1083 participants will be randomized (1:1:1) to receive either placebo, 50 mg tablets of simufilam, or 100 mg tablets of simufilam, twice daily, for 76 weeks. Clinic visits will occur 4 weeks after the baseline visit, and then every 12 weeks until the end of the study. The safety of simufilam, and its efficacy in enhancing cognition and slowing cognitive and functional decline will be evaluated.
This study adapts a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, to exam the possible benefit of Astaxanthin on Alzheimer disease. The enrolled Alzheimer patients will take Astaxanthin or placebo for 1 year. We will follow up Mini-Mental State Examination, Cognitive Ability Screening Instrument, Clinical Dementia Rating, and Neuropsychiatric Inventory at the end of the study.
The WeCareAdvisor is an online tool to help caregivers manage behavioral and psychological symptoms of people living with dementia. The trial will evaluate its efficacy to reduce caregiver distress, improve confidence managing behaviors, as well as reduce occurrences and severity of behavioral and psychological symptoms.
