Filter by:To compare the efficacy of 2 fixed doses of brexpiprazole with placebo in participants with agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
This is a Phase 1, single center, open-label, non-randomized, clinical study in probable AD patients and HVs to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a single dose of MNI-672. The underlying goal of this study is to assess MNI-672 SPECT imaging as a tool to detect ß amyloid deposition in the brain of AD research participants and young healthy male subjects. All study procedures will be conducted at Molecular NeuroImaging (MNI) in New Haven, CT. Approximately 3 patients with AD and 3 young male HVs will be recruited to participate in this study. HVs will be screened to ensure that there is no evidence of cognitive decline or significant neurological deficit. All eligible subjects will be required to visit the study center on at least 2 occasions: 1. for one or more screening visits which should include a history and physical examination, laboratory and extensive neuro-psychological testing and MRI brain scanning. AD subjects will also undergo Amyvid PET imaging as part of the Screening Visit. 2. on one day for baseline examinations and MNI-672 administration and subsequent SPECT scanning- followed by safety measures
The purpose of this multicenter trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of MK-7622 compared with placebo as adjunctive therapy to acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) for the symptomatic treatment of participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The trial consists of two stages: Stage 1 and Stage 2. In Stage 1, participants will be randomized to receive either placebo or MK-7622 45 mg once daily. In Stage 2, participants will be randomized to receive either placebo or MK-7622 (dose: 5, 15 or 45 mg once daily). Participants will be enrolled in only one stage; the duration of each stage is approximately 26 weeks. Interim analyses will be performed in both Stage 1 and Stage 2 to determine whether the trial should continue. The primary study hypotheses are the following: Stage 1 - MK-7622 45 mg once daily is superior to placebo with respect to improving cognition in participants with mild to moderate AD as assessed by mean change from baseline in the 11-item Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog11) at Week 12; Stage 2 - At least one of the top two doses of MK-7622 (15 mg once daily, 45 mg once daily) is superior to placebo with respect to improving cognition in participants with mild to moderate AD as assessed by mean change from baseline in ADAS-Cog11 at Week 12.
This study will evaluate the pharmacological efficacy on language capability and compliance with combination of new Ebixa oral pump and donepezil compared to donepezil only in patients with probable Alzheimer's disease. Primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of memantine on language capability in moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease patients who are taking stable donepezil treatment.Secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of maintain on cognitive function and disease progression with K-MMSE, NPI, ROSA, and SIB-short form in probable AD.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a novel brain stimulation approach using magnetic stimulation (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation [TMS]) can improve memory and thinking processes in individuals with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD).
This is a 12-month, multicentre randomised double-blind placebo-controlled Phase IIb study in patients with mild Alzheimer's dementia (AD). Patients will be randomised on a 1:1 ratio to receive liraglutide or matching placebo.
The investigators are conducting a study to try to improve our ability to identify older adults who are at high-risk for progression to Alzheimer's disease, several years before they have symptoms that might reduce their quality of life. The investigators believe they can increase the sensitivity of tests of memory and problem solving, by using a very small dose of a medication (scopolamine) that reduces the activity of the principal chemical system in the brain that is changing in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. By pairing this "micro-dose" drug challenge (that is administered with a tiny needle placed just under the surface of the skin on the forearm), with our tests of memory and thinking, it is believed that the investigators can create a "stress test" that is very similar in concept to the use of the exercise treadmill to make the results of a heart EKG more sensitive to detect early disease, as a cardiac stress test for heart disease. The investigators want to create a similar stress test for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Purpose : to Evaluation of the Efficacy of Escitalopram for the Treatment of Depression in Alzheimer's Disease Trial Design : A 12-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial with an open-label, 12-week extension
The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that Nuedexta (20/10) administered orally will reduce Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) frequency and severity (CNS-Lability Scale and PLACS), with satisfactory safety and high tolerability in patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The primary objective will be evaluated using a study endpoint at 1, 13, 26 weeks after initiation of treatment. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the benefit of treatment with Nuedexta (20/10) on cognition and functionality as demonstrated in the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT), Trail making A and B, Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) logical memory and delayed recall, Controlled Oral Word Association (COWA), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living Inventory (ADCSADL) and the 11-item Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive subscore (ADAS-Cog11).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the radiotracer [11C] PIB in participants with probably Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and healthy age-matched controls.
