Active clinical trials for "Alzheimer Disease"

The purpose of this study is to test if the investigational medication, ABT-384, is a safe and effective treatment for adults with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's Disease.

This is a multiple dose study of NSA-789, the purpose of which is to assess the safety and tolerability in healthy subjects and subjects with Alzheimer's Disease

Purpose of the study is to determine whether multiple dose administration of PF-04360365 is safe and well tolerated in patient with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of a single dose of PF-04360365 in Japanese subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease.

A 24-week placebo-controlled parallel group multicentre trial to study the safety and efficacy of memantine in patients with dementia associated with Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. It is hypothesized that memantine will be safe and well tolerated, and more effective than placebo.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the elderly is characterized by progressive cognitive decline and certain neuropathological features. Currently, there is great interest in the well-documented mitochondrial (oxidative) lesion in AD. Disturbed oxidative metabolism is a well described abnormality in AD. Several observational studies have shown that moderate consumption of wine is associated with a lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease (Truelsen et al., 2002; Luchsinger et al., 2004). Wine is enriched in antioxidant compounds with potential neuroprotective activities. In the early 1990s the presence of Resveratrol in red wine was detected where it is suspected to afford antioxidant and neuroprotective properties (Miller and Rice-Evans, 1995). Blass and Gordon (2004) have demonstrated positive effects in AD with an oral preparation of glucose, malate and resveratrol. Glucose is the physiological precursor of the substrates of oxidative metabolism in the brain, malate is a primer of the energy-providing Krebs-cycle. Glucose and malate therefore can provide reducing equivalents (electrons) to regenerate the reduced form of resveratrol, and do so under the normal regulation of brain cell metabolism. All three ingredients are classified by the FDA as Generally Recognized As Safe.

This study is the first human exposure for the drug candidate CTS21166 in healthy male volunteers

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of T-817MA in AD patients to treat dementia. Efficacy will be cognitive function, as measured by the ADAS-cog cognitive assessment. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety of T-817MA and the activities of daily living (assessed with the ADCS-ADL) of AD patients taking T-817MA, and to evaluate the efficacy of T-817MA in AD patients with an overall global assessment using the ADCS-CGIC.

The Connection Study is a six-month confirmatory Phase 3 study to determine the safety and efficacy of Dimebon in the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The purpose of this research study is to compare the effectiveness of Zolpidem CR to that of placebo in improving sleep efficiency in people with dementia admitted to the hospital because of their symptoms. You can participate in this study if you have dementia of the Alzheimer's type or vascular dementia. This study involves placebo; a placebo is a tablet that looks exactly like Zolpidem CR, the study drug, but contains no active study drug. We will use placebos to see if the study results are due to the study drug or due to other reasons. Zolpidem CR is also called Ambien CR and is widely available by prescription. Zolpidem CR is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the short-term treatment of insomnia (trouble falling or staying asleep).
