Filter by:The death of brain cells in Huntington Disease (HD) is thought to be associated with a lack of normal cell energy and harmful brain substances called free radicals. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ) is a marketed nutritional supplement that may prove useful in HD because it increases cell energy and combats free radicals. Most studies of CoQ have looked at only one formulation of CoQ ("ubiquinone") in HD. The purpose of the study is to find out if people that switch from the common formulation of CoQ ("ubiquinone") to a different formulation ("ubiquinol") have higher levels of CoQ in their blood after taking the same dose. The investigators also want to find out if this different formulation is tolerable for individuals with HD.
Dimebon will not exhibit abuse potential when compared to placebo or a positive control (alprazolam).
The underlying goal of this study is to assess [123I]MNI-420 SPECT imaging as a tool to detect A2aR density in the brain of PD and HD research participants to be compared with similarly aged healthy subjects.
This study will evaluate the potential for a drug-drug interaction of Dimebon with ketoconazole and omeprazole, potent inhibitors of the drug metabolizing enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2C19, respectively.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Dimebon is safe and effective for the treatment of cognitive impairment in Huntington disease.
To establish the tolerability of treatment with 600, 1200 or 2400 mg per day of coenzyme Q10 in pre-manifest participants carrying the CAGn expansion for Huntington's Disease (HD).
The proposed study is a double-blind, placebo controlled pilot study of HD, PD, and DLB subjects with sleep disturbances. This study is designed to determine the effects of 4 weeks Ramelteon treatment on the sleep patterns of people with basal ganglia disorders such as HD, PD and DLB. The study also aims to look at the sleep patterns of caregivers of people with HD, PD and DLB.
This is a single centre, controlled phase I study, which evaluates safety and efficacy of stimulation of lower caudal two contacts (GPI) vs. upper cranial two contacts (GPE) in Huntington´s disease (HD).
Measurement of metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5) binding capacity in the brain, may be a valuable tool in the early detection, understanding, or evaluation of Parkinson disease (PD), Huntington disease (HD), Fragile X syndrome (FXS), Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD), Alzheimer's Disease(AD), and subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The goal of this study is to assess [18F]F-PEB positron emission tomography (PET) imaging as a tool to detect mGluR5 density in the brain of PD, HD, FXS ASD, AD, and MCI research participants and similarly aged healthy subjects.
This study has been designed to confirm, in healthy subjects, the lack of a clinically important pharmacokinetic interaction between Dimebon, at the proposed maximum commercial dose of 20 mg TID (administered every 8 hours), and digoxin (Lanoxin®) 0.125 mg QD, a sensitive P-gp substrate recommended by FDA.
