NCT ID: NCT05771428 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

Study to Assess Adverse Events, Change in Disease Activity and How Oral ABBV-552 Capsules Moves Through the Body of Participants Aged 50 to 90 Years With Mild Alzheimer's Disease

Start date: April 27, 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, irreversible neurological disorder and is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly population. Clinical symptoms of the disease may begin with occasional forgetfulness such as misplacement of items, forgetting important dates or events, and may progress to noticeable memory loss, increased confusion and agitation, and eventually, loss of independence and non-responsiveness. This study will assess how safe and effective ABBV-552 is in treating symptoms of early AD. Adverse events, change in disease activity, how ABBV-552 moves through body of participants and the body response to ABBV-552 will be assessed. ABBV-552 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 4 groups (3 active dose groups and a placebo group), called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 4 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Approximately 240 participants aged 50-90 years with mild AD will be enrolled in approximately 60 sites across the world. Participants will receive oral ABBV-552 or placebo capsules once daily for 12 weeks and followed for 30 days after the last dose of study drug. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

NCT ID: NCT05592678 Not yet recruiting - Dementia Clinical Trials

δ in Dementia Clinical Trials

dND
Start date: March 2024
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate potential improvements in clinical trial methods relating to dementia and cognitive decline. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can an intervention's outcome be better assessed by a latent variable ("δ") integrating cognitive performance with functional status? - Can latent biomarkers of δ guide the selection of an intervention that will modulate dementia severity? - Can a latent variable, derived from information collected remotely from caregivers, preselect subjects most likely to respond to the intervention? - Is the effect of the intervention in fact medicated by changes in the targeted biomarker? In this case, the biomarker will be a latent variable derived from several proteins measured in blood (i.e., so-called "adipokines"). The intervention will be donepezil, a medication approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease, but only recently associated with adipokine changes. Participants with cognitive impairment and their caregivers will be interviewed by telephone and those with cognitive impairment will be treated for six-months with donepezil. On the basis of the caregiver's report, the cognitively impaired subjects will be assigned to two groups based on a prediction of their response to donepezil. Researchers will compare those groups to see if dementia severity, as measured by δ, improves in predicted responders, and whether the change in the d-score is mediated by changes in adipokines.

NCT ID: NCT05558709 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

Social-cognitive Functioning: Validation of a New Neuropsychological Test

REALSOCOG
Start date: June 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It is now established that disturbances in social cognition are frequent in neurology and that they contribute to the development of social conduct disorders. Their assessment is therefore essential, particularly in order to propose early and adapted care. However, this assessment remains limited today. A new serious game-type test, REALSoCog, has been developed to address the shortcomings of current tools and to highlight disturbances in social behaviors. The latter are not always observed in consultation although they are often reported by caregivers. The objective of this research is therefore to validate the REALSoCog task in a pathological population (currently being standardized in the general population: CER-U, IRB N°: 00012020-115). The clinical interest of this task will be tested with a group of patients suffering from a neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DCL), fronto-temporal lobar degeneration (FTD)) in order to assess its sensitivity and specificity in the detection of social-cognitive disturbances, and in particular in terms of social behaviors (detection of social behavioral disorders reported in daily life). The objective is also to document the socio-cognitive profiles in the mentioned diseases thanks to a more ecological test, and to better understand the links between socio-cognitive processes on the one hand, and individual characteristics on the other hand (e.g. mood and social participation).

NCT ID: NCT05291234 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

A Study to Assess Safety of ABBV-916 and How Intravenous ABBV-916 Moves Through Body and Affects Brain Amyloid Plaque Clearance in Adult Participants (Aged 50-90 Years) With Early Alzheimer's Disease

Start date: August 15, 2022
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, irreversible neurological disorder and is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly population. Clinical symptoms of the disease may begin with occasional forgetfulness such as misplacement of items, forgetting important dates or events, and may progress to noticeable memory loss, increased confusion and agitation, and eventually, loss of independence and non-responsiveness. This study will assess how safe and effective ABBV-916 is in treating early AD. Adverse events, change in disease activity, and how ABBV-916 moves through body of participants will be assessed. ABBV-916 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of early AD. This study is conducted in 2 stages. Stage A is a multiple ascending dose study. There is a 1 in 4 chance that participants are assigned to receive placebo. Stage B is a proof-of-concept study. In Stage B, there is a 1 in 5 chance that participants will be assigned to receive placebo. The first 6 months of this study are "double-blind," which means that neither the trial participant nor the study doctors know which treatments will be given. This will be followed by a 2-year extension period in which all participants will receive ABBV-916. Approximately 195 participants aged 50-90 years will be enrolled in about 90 sites across the world. Participants will receive intravenous (IV) doses of ABBV-916 or placebo once every 4 weeks (Q4W) for 24 weeks and will be followed for an additional 16 weeks. Participants will have the option of participating in a 2-year, open-label, Extension Period receiving IV ABBV-916. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Effects of Auditory Brain Stimulation by "Pink Noise" on Memory Capacities in Alzheimer's Disease: Proof of Concept Study

PINK-AD
Start date: March 11, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting almost 6% of the world's population over the age of 65. This disease, in its most typical sporadic form, is characterized by an episodic memory impairment linked to a deficit in consolidation. Many studies indicate that sleep promotes this consolidation stage during the deep slow sleep stage by facilitating the transfer of information between the hippocampus and the neocortex. A method of acoustic brain stimulation at night by pink noises has been recently developed and has shown its effectiveness in strengthening memory consolidation in healthy volunteers. Actually, there is no study observing the effect of this new stimulation method on populations with neurodegenerative pathologies, in particular in AD for which this technique could potentially become a therapeutic option. The hypothesis is that of a strengthening of the memory consolidation capacities in subjects with AD as has been shown in healthy subjects.
