Active clinical trials for "Alzheimer Disease"

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is an evidence-based non-pharmacological group therapy shown to benefit people with mild to moderate dementia. Despite increasing availability of CST worldwide, access remains limited in the United States. This pilot pragmatic trial will embed CST referral into the standard care protocol of health care settings that serve people living with dementia in the state of Connecticut, and evaluate online delivery of CST known as virtual CST (V-CST), and assess the acceptability of V-CST to people living with dementia. The study design is a two-armed randomized embedded pragmatic clinical trial (ePCT). The trial aims to determine if cognitive decline is experienced less commonly among V-CST participants than control group members based on three widely used measures of cognition, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), St. Louis University Memory Screen (SLUMS), and Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE). The study population will be persons with mild to moderate dementia identified by clinicians in standard care. From this population, subject participants will be randomized to intervention and control groups. Patients randomly assigned to the intervention group will be referred by their clinical providers to participate in V-CST, and those who accept the referral will participate in the intervention.

This is a Phase 1, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study of ABT-957 in participants with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) due to AD.

In the BN40031 OLE study, a dose of crenezumab of 60 mg/kg intravenous (IV) every 4 weeks (Q4W) will be offered to all participants who complete Study BN29552 or BN29553 and who meet eligibility criteria in order to evaluate safety in participants on long-term crenezumab treatment and to investigate the effect of crenezumab on the underlying disease process and disease course as an exploratory efficacy objective.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of ABT-957 in subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

This study is designed to assess the safety and toxicity/adverse events associated with the use of low dose fractionated whole brain irradiation in those patients who have been diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's disease according to the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS-ADRDA) criteria. As a secondary goal it will establish whether or not the intervention with low dose whole brain irradiation might change the recognized progression of Alzheimer's Disease. The investigators will also collect information from the florbetaben F 18 Injection (AMYVID®) positron emission tomography (PET) Scans to determine if there is any correlation between neurocognitive/quality of life scores and changes in amyloid plaque size, number and location.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the study drug known as LY2599666 in different groups of people - those who are healthy, those who have mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and those with mild-to-moderate AD. The study will measure how much LY2599666 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it. It will also evaluate how LY2599666 affects the body. The study has three parts. Part A will last about 2 months. Parts B and C will each last about 23 weeks. Participants may only enroll in one part.

Safety and tolerability. Quality of life (EQ-5D, ACQLI) and health economic impact (health resource utilisation, living and employment status) assessments, will not be performed at the centers in the united kingdom (UK)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pioglitazone at 24 months compared with placebo on cognitive decline in high-risk participants who have completed the AD-4833/TOMM40_301 study [NCT01931566] with an adjudicated diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

To test the idea that solanezumab will slow the cognitive decline of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) as compared with placebo in participants with mild AD.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of TRx0237 when taken at the same time as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (i.e., donepezil, galantamine, or rivastigmine) and / or memantine to treat patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease.
