Active clinical trials for "Alzheimer Disease"

Alzheimer's disease is associated with accumulation in the brain of a protein called amyloid. The purpose of this study is to test the ability of a research drug to measure amyloid in brain using positron emission tomography (PET) and a research drug called [11C]MeS-IMPY.

This study is piloting an internet-based intervention to provide support for caregivers of VA patients with Alzheimer's disease or related memory difficulties (ADRD). Veterans with a clinical diagnosis of ADRD and their caregiver/relatives will be randomized to receive one of two interventions: (1) customary care (cc) and access to an intensive, interactive online education and support website intervention for 6 months, or (2) cc and monthly brief telephone calls with project staff for six month. It is hypothesized that participation in the intensive intervention will result in a reductions in patient problematic behavior and caregiver responses to it, reduced caregiver burden and depression, and improved medication adherence at the end of treatment, and more patients remaining at home through the 12 months post-randomization period..

The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability and safety of repeated subcutaneous injection of a single dose of Affitope AD01 in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's disease is characterised by memory loss and difficulties with thinking. These problems may be due to a deficiency in a brain chemical called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine helps transmit messages between nerve cells. Acetylcholine is degraded by an enzyme called "acetylcholinesterase". ZT-1 is a new drug derived from a plant extract already used in China for memory disorders, which blocks the action of the enzyme and restores adequate levels of acetylcholine. This study will test the safety and efficacy of ZT-1 in the treatment of patients with Alzheimer's disease. BRAINz stands for Better Recollection for Alzheimer's patients with the Implant of ZT-1.

The present pharmacokinetic study is designed to compare bioavailability and assess bioequivalence of two Rosiglitazone XR formulations produced at two different sites.Both formulations will be tested in fasting healthy volunteers

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of memantine versus placebo on functional communication in patients with Alzheimer's Disease

The purpose of this study is to compare 23 mg donepezil sustained release (SR) to the currently marketed formulation of 10 mg donepezil immediate release (IR) in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NIC5-15in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.

To assess the safety and tolerability of ascending multiple oral doses of SAM-531, an investigational drug, in healthy young adult and elderly subjects.To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profiles of multiple oral doses of SAM-531 in healthy young adult and elderly subjects.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the anticholinesterase drug donepezil on sleep in Alzheimer disease patients. Sleep structure and respiratory parameters will be analyzed by polysomnography.
