A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, 3-Arm Parallel Design Study to Evaluate the Effects of BPN14770 in Patients with Early Alzheimer's Disease
Brief summary: This is a phase II study to investigate the safety, preliminary efficacy and pharmacokinetics of AD-35 tablet in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease. This study is to be run in China involving 21 sites. It will enroll approximately 480 patients to ensure 240 randomized with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease. The treatment period is 52 weeks and total study duration per patient is approximately 57 weeks.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of MK-4334 administered once daily (QD) in participants with Alzheimer's clinical syndrome receiving a stable, daily dose of donepezil 10 mg, taken orally (PO). This includes participants with symptoms of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is hypothesized that the true geometric mean minimum plasma concentration at 24 hours (C24) is at least 60 nM at steady state in the presence of steady-state donepezil 10 mg.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of ABBV-8E12 in participants with early AD.
The study evaluates the effects of Prazosin on agitation in adults with Alzheimer's disease. Two thirds of the participants will participate in the medication portion, while one third will participate in the placebo portion
The object of this study to evaluation an Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) to treat Aggression and Agitation in Alzheimer's disease (AD-AA). The ICP is an algorithmic approach to use psychotropic medications and non-pharmacological interventions based on standardized assessments which fosters measurement-based decision making. This study will assess the efficacy of the ICP to treat AD-AA and its impact on inappropriate use of medications in inpatient settings and Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCF). The investigators will enroll and randomize 220 participants with AD-AA (110 inpatient and 110 LTCFs) to ICP vs. Treatment As Usual. Further, this study will also examine the impact of the ICP on caregiver burden and undertake a cost-effectiveness analysis of the ICP for patients with AD-AA.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and antibody response of Lu AF20513 in patients with Alzheimer's disease who have completed the 16026A study.
With the enrichment of living environment and the progress of medicine, the scale of aging population has increased in many countries of the world. Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, counts for approximately 60% to 70% in dementia in aged population. AD is a well-known neurodegenerative disease and characterized by the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and deposition of amyloid in the brain. It also affects more than 12 million patients worldwide and puts a tremendous burden on family caregivers and causes high nursing home costs for society. So far, the mechanisms of AD have not been elucidated and currently no curable treatment exists. Thus, clinical trials concerning the treatment of AD are in urgent expectation. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a growth factor that presents in human body in small quantity and is known to promote the blood cell proliferation and differentiation. Previous studies showed injection of G-CSF could help release hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) from bone marrow to the peripheral blood, and then migrate to repair damaged areas, e.g. heart tissue and ischemia brain tissue. We have found that G-CSF triggering release of stem cells from bone marrow shows the potential as an effective reagent for treatment of AD by using two AD mouse models. The one was generated by injecting the brains of normal mice with amyloid and another was by using a strain of transgenic mice which naturally exhibit Alzheimer's disease-like neuronal apoptosis and memory loss. Subcutaneous administration of G-CSF into mice significantly rescued their cognitive/memory functions. G-CSF has already been widely used in clinical practice, for example, neutropenia caused by chemotherapy in cancer and bone marrow transplantation. The new finding shows G-CSF can release HSCs from bone marrow and these cells not only can pass through the blood-brain barrier but can selectively migrate to the region of damaged brain to improve neurological recovery. Thus, we conduct this clinical trial to investigate the potential effect of G-CSF for the cognitive function of AD patients. If successful, G-CSF could open up a new window for AD treatment which is less invasive and more effective than the current therapies.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety impact of continuing aducanumab dosing in asymptomatic Amyloid-related Imaging Abnormalities (ARIA) in participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) or with mild AD dementia. The secondary objective of the study is to characterize ARIA, from both the imaging and the clinical perspective and to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of aducanumab.
