Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of E2609 when administered as single doses to healthy adult volunteers and healthy elderly subjects. The study will consist of 2 parts:(1) a single dose in healthy adult volunteers, at doses up to 800 mg or the maximum dose that can be tolerated, (2) a single dose of 50 mg in healthy elderly volunteers.
A Phase II clinical research study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different dose levels of an injectable investigational treatment (ACC-001) in subjects with Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer's disease. ACC-001 (vanutide cridificar) is a beta amyloid fragment attached to a carrier protein. It is intended to help induce an antibody response against beta amyloid and is administered as an intramuscular injection.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Huperzine A sustained release tablets in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease.
This study will evaluate the effects of low-intensity strengthening exercise on the brain (thinking and processing speed) for patients with early dementia, compared with normative older adults. Participants will engage in 3 months of exercise 3-5 times per week using a chair and small weights. It is hypothesized that there will be a significant improvement in brain function.
To evaluate the effects of a high-calorie high-fat meal on the extent and rate of absorption of CHF 5074 after single oral administration in young healthy male volunteers.
Background: Exendin-4 (or Exenatide) is a medication currently used to treat diabetes that has shown promising results in animal and cellular models of Alzheimer's disease. It is possible that Exendin-4 may be a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, which involves the gradual deterioration and death of neurons. Researchers are interested in studying the safety and comparing the effects of Exendin-4 with placebo on cognitive performance, clinical progression of dementia, various chemicals measured in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and brain MRI, in individuals with early-stage Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. Objectives: To determine the safety and tolerability of twice daily administration of Exendin-4, as well as to acquire preliminary evidence for effects on cognitive performance, clinical progression of dementia, various chemicals measured in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and brain MRI, in individuals with early-stage Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. Eligibility: Individuals at least 60 years of age who have objective evidence of early-stage Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment in screening testing. Design: - Participants will be screened. - Following the telephone screening, two in-person screening visits to determine eligibility. - The screening visit will involve a medical history and neurological examination, tests of memory and cognition, a lumbar puncture, collection of blood and saliva samples, and brain Magnetic Resonance Imagine (MRI) studies. Participants will be required to appoint a Durable Power of Attorney for research and medical care during this protocol. - Eligible participants will be divided into two groups (double-blind randomization). One group will receive Exendin-4 SC twice daily, and the other will receive a placebo. Participants will keep a medication diary and will be scheduled for additional study visits 1 and 2 weeks after the start of the treatment. - Participants will have regular followup visits with blood tests, cognitive tests, imaging studies, and other examinations 6, 12, and 18 months after the start of the treatment. Another lumbar puncture may be performed optionally at the 18-month followup visit.
This study in individuals with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease is designed to assess:(1) safety and tolerability (2) the capacity of subcutaneous bapineuzumab to reduce brain amyloid load as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
This is a Phase 1 study to examine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of TC-5619 in elderly subjects with and without Alzheimer's disease. Group 1 includes elderly subjects with Alzheimer's disease to receive TC-5619 or placebo for 28 days to evaluate safety and tolerability. Group 2 includes healthy elderly subjects in a dose escalation design to receive TC-5619 or placebo for 10 days to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of TRx0037 after multiple doses in elderly volunteers.
A randomised four way crossover design in which each subject will receive two dose levels of TRx-0037 and two doses of TRx-0014 over approximately a four week period in randomised order.
