Active clinical trials for "Alzheimer Disease"

To establish efficacy of Idalopirdine as adjunctive therapy to donepezil for symptomatic treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of JNJ-54861911 in patients with prodromal Alzheimer's disease (pAD).

This research is being conducted to study whether rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) could be potentially used as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. rTMS is a technique that stimulates the brain by rapidly switching a magnetic field in a coil placed over your head. Prior to rTMS, single pulse TMS will be used to localize the specific brain region that we are interested in.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of pimavanserin 40 mg compared to placebo in patients with Alzheimer's disease psychosis.

The investigators intend to perform exploratory evaluation of the treatment effectiveness and safety of PM012 Tablet of PuriMED Co., Ltd. at 2 doses in Korean patients with mild to moderate dementia of Alzheimer's type. To achieve this, this study aims to compare each dose with placebo control for the efficacy and safety to explore the clinically optimal dose of PM012 Tablet for therapeutic confirmatory (phase 3) clinical studies.

This Phase II, open-label extension (OLE), multicenter study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of crenezumab in participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease who have participated in and completed the treatment period of the Phase II Study ABE4869g (NCT01343966) or ABE4955g (NCT01397578). Participants who received placebo in Study ABE4869g (NCT01343966) or ABE4955g (NCT01397578) will receive crenezumab. Anticipated time on study treatment is 144 weeks.

Filgrastim (G-CSF) is widely used for treatment of patients who have a deficiency of white blood cells. It is also routinely used to stimulate and mobilize stem/progenitor cells for bone marrow transplantation. In studies of thousands of healthy donor subjects treated with G-CSF, the side-effects profile has been reported to be mild and reversible. Currently, G-CSF is under investigation in clinical trials in Germany and the US that aim to enhance recovery from strokes and heart attacks. In animal studies, G-CSF has been observed to improve cognitive performance and to markedly reduce amyloid deposition in hippocampus and entorhinal cortex in a mouse model of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Since this drug is being used safely in many people throughout the world, the investigators hypothesize that it will also be safe to give to patients with Alzheimer's disease and that it may improve some aspects of memory and thinking. The present pilot study has two goals or objectives: 1) to investigate the effects of a five day schedule of Filgrastim administration on cognitive function and 2) to assess its tolerability and safety in a small group (12 patients) with mild to moderate stage AD. Patients who are eligible for the study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups (n=6 per group). One group will receive a five-day course of Filgrastim injections and the other group of subjects will receive vehicle injections (solution without drug). At the end of the first phase of the study (week 8), the groups will cross over to receive either vehicle or Filgrastim as appropriate. In this way all subjects will have received the active medication by the end of the study. After the study is finished the investigators should know whether or not Filgrastim improves some aspects of thinking and memory. And the investigators should know whether or not it is safe to give this medication to patients with Alzheimer's disease. To ensure that the drug is safe, a Safety Monitoring Committee will oversee the entire study. They will review all laboratory data, including complete blood counts, serum chemistry, EKGs and adverse events.

This study is being conducted to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effects of EVP-0962 on cerebral spinal fluid Amyloid concentrations in healthy subjects and in subjects with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's disease.

This is a multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Rivastigmine patch in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease switched from Cholinesterase Inhibitors.

This is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm, prospective, phase IV trial, evaluating safety and efficacy of donepezil hydrochloride in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease.
