Filter by:This study seeks to establish the acceptability and evaluate the limited efficacy of Simple Reminiscence (SR), a home-delivered non-pharmacological intervention designed to relieve stress, improve affect, and prevent or quell disruptive or maladaptive behaviors in community-residing individuals diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease (EAD). Unmanaged episodes of anxiety can be antecedents of maladaptive behaviors, including agitation, anger, and sometimes even violence. SR is a dyadic strategy; both the person with EAD and the caregiver engaged the patient's memory to interrupt a current episode of anxiety.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of 2 fixed doses of EVP-6124 hydrochloride (HCl) compared to placebo for 24 weeks in subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease who are concurrently receiving stable treatment with memantine and currently receiving stable treatment or previously treated with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.
Rilapladib is a potent and selective inhibitor of lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), which was previously under development for the treatment of atherosclerosis and is currently being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. This study is a single-center, open-label, two-part study. The two study parts will run independently. Subjects dosed in one part of this study will not be permitted to participate in the other part. Part A will investigate the pharmacokinetic profile of rilapladib and its metabolites, SB-664601 and GSK1174379, after single dose and steady state dosing of rilapladib 250 milligram (mg) along with the biliary and urinary elimination pathways of rilapladib 250 mg. Part B will determine the effect of repeat administration of itraconazole on the PK of a single oral dose of rilapladib 25 mg. Healthy male and female subjects, aged 18-65 years, will be recruited for this study. Ten subjects will be recruited for Part A and 20 subjects will be recruited for Part B.
This study is designed to validate the Japanese electronic florbetapir (18F) interpretation training program intended for post-approval implementation in Japan.
To evaluate the effects of multiple dose regimens of CHF 5074 administered once per day up to 2 years on potential biomarkers of neurodegeneration in subjects with mild cognitive impairment.
The objectives of this project are to examine amyloid burden and cognition in a group of subjects diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) before and after a six month course of insulin delivered weekly in a controlled pulsatile intravenous fashion in a clinical setting. The investigators central hypothesis is straightforward: The investigators predict that controlled pulsed IV infusion of insulin will improve cognition in patients with AD, and that this improvement will be correlated with a decrease in amyloid burden in these patients.
The purpose of this study is to use a functional MRI (fMRI) index to compare the brain activity of healthy volunteers to that of people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease. The ultimate goal is to develop an early diagnostic tool for Alzheimer's disease. The study hypotheses are: 1. The fMRI index will differentiate between Alzheimer's disease, non-Alzheimer's dementia, and healthy volunteers; 2. The fMRI index will distinguish participants with MCI who convert to Alzheimer's disease from those who convert to a non-Alzheimer's dementia and those who remain stable; 3. MCI participants with a lower fMRI index at baseline who convert will progress to Alzheimer's sooner than those with a higher fMRI index, and MCI participants with a faster rate of fMRI index decline who convert will have an earlier onset of Alzheimer's disease.
To determine if low level magnetic fields can help to improve memory in patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
The study will evaluate the safety & efficacy of AC-1204, a ketogenic compound, administered orally on a daily basis for 6 months. Following the 6 month double-blind phase of the study, subjects may enroll in an optional 6 month open-label extension phase. Efficacy will be evaluated by standard tests of memory and cognition, along with other measurements of activities of daily living and quality of life. Safety will be assessed by frequency of adverse events and changes in laboratory test results. Subjects will be stratified and outcomes will be separately analyzed based on apolipoprotein E4 genotype (APOE4).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of PF-01913539 in the treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's Disease. It is a 6-month study enrolling 651 patients in Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and Republic of China. All patients completing the 6-month study will be eligible to receive PF-01913539 in an open-label extension trial (B1451031).
