Filter by:The reason for this study is to collect safety and efficacy information regarding the study drug remternetug in participants with early Alzheimer's disease (AD).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and pharmacodynamic effects of ACI-24.060 in subjects with prodromal Alzheimer's disease and in non-demented adults with Down syndrome.
This proof-of-concept study will assess safety, tolerance, and efficacy of NanoLithium® NP03 in patients with mild-to-severe Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
By doing this study, researchers hope to see if creatine monohydrate is a helpful treatment for people with Alzheimer's disease.
The ALZLIGHT STAGE III Study is a continuation of the ALZLIGHT Pilot - Study on Safety, Feasibility and Neural Activation of Non-Invasive Light Therapy System. As with the first two stages, this study will examine whether entrainment of 40 Hz neural oscillation by novel 40 Hz Invisible Spectral Flicker is a potential therapy for Alzheimer's Disease. In order to examine this, 62 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease will be recruited. The patients will be exposed to the Non-Invasive Light Therapy System for 1 hour a day for 6 months. The effect will be measured by a combination of electroencephalography, cognitive testing, functional magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy and actigraphy.
The Westlake Longevity Cohort (We-Longevity) is a prospective cohort study among centenarians, nonagenarians, senior citizens and their family members up to three generations living in Lishui, China. The primary aim of this cohort is to characterize the multi-omics molecular characteristics of healthy longevity and their dynamic trajectories. Another aim of We-Longevity is to investigate the association of dietary and lifestyle with the multi-omics molecular characteristics of healthy longevity, and to facilitate the development of personalized nutritional/lifestyle recommendation for the public.
This study aims to develop and validate a sensitive and non-invasive eye-tracking software application. This study will obtain participant responses to brief cognitive tests designed to evaluate several key functions known to be affected by Alzheimer's Disease and non-invasive eye movement measurements in response to visually presented stimuli during specifically designed eye-tracking tests. The study data will be used to develop machine learning algorithms and validate a software application intended to track the progressive component of Alzheimer's Disease and associated cognitive changes.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinically characterized by the cognitive impairment and lowering of various functional abilities lead to staggering costs and suffering, which are particularly related to the social impacts of caring for increasingly disabled individuals. Some of these changes can be almost undetectable in the early stages of the disease, worsening over time often and at a varying rate of progression in different people. The traditional clinical scales or questionnaires such as ADCS (Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study) - ADL (Activities of Daily Living) for detecting such functional disabilities are typically blunt and rely on direct observation or caregiver recall. Digital technologies, particularly those based on the use of smart phones, wearable and/or home-based monitoring devices, here defined as 'Remote Measurement Technologies' (RMTs), provide an opportunity to change radically the way in which functional assessment is undertaken in AD, RMTs have potential to obtain better measurements of behavioral and biological parameters associated with individual Activities of Daily Living (ADL) when compared to the current subjective scales or questionnaires. Divergence from normative ADL profiles could objectively indicate the presence of incipient functional impairment at the very early stages of AD. Therefore, the main hypothesis of this study is that RMTs should allow the detection of impairments in functional components of ADLs that occur below the detection threshold of clinical scale or questionnaires.
Approximately 5.3 million people live with a long-term disability resulting from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and between 5-8% of those older than 60 suffer from Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia (ADRD). Consequences of these conditions can result in dramatic and persistent changes in functioning, impacting not only the patients, but also loved ones who become informal support persons. Many existing services help the family in the moment, but do not address long-term wellness. Thus, the purpose of this research study is to compare the effect of two different types of group wellness treatments for individuals with chronic mild TBI, moderate to severe TBI, and ADRD and their support persons.
This is a first-in-human clinical trial to test whether a protein administered into the brain continuously by gene therapy, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), will slow or prevent cell loss in the brains of people affected by Alzheimer's disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment. The protein may also activate cells in the brain that have not yet deteriorated. Gene therapy refers to the use of a harmless virus to have brain cells make the potentially protective protein, BDNF.
