Active clinical trials for "Alzheimer Disease"

The present study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Chinese herb huperzine A in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a randomized controlled trial of its effect on cognitive function.

A 10-week safety and tolerability study of a potential treatment for mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of galantamine treatment in patients with mild cognitive impairment.

To evaluate the dose-response efficacy of E2020 (5 mg/day and 10 mg/day) versus placebo and verify superiority of E2020 to placebo in patients with severe AD using CIBIC-plus* and SIB** as the primary efficacy measures. Safety of E2020 will also be evaluated. (*for overall evalution of clinical symtoms) (**for cognitive function test)

The study is designed to investigate the activity of the hormone drug leuprolide acetate in stabilizing cognitive function in mild-to-moderate AD patients.

The primary goal of the study is documentation of effectiveness of a home-based intervention to reduce caregiver burden related to dementia caregiving, improve caregiver health status, and reduce caregiver and care recipient resource utilization.

This study will compare four different behavioral treatment programs to determine which is most effective in reducing night-time disturbances in individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of galantamine on the attention of patients with Alzheimer's Disease, how an improvement of attention of Alzheimer's Disease patients affects their activities of daily living, and the global benefit of galantamine.

The purpose of this study is to determine in a 12-week treatment study if MEM 1003 is a safe and effective treatment for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

The aim of the proposed study is to determine if the NMDA receptor antagonist memantine has a neuroprotective effect on magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRS) measures of brain NAA and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumetric measures of hippocampal volume. In secondary analyses, we will determine if measures of clinical stabilization produced by memantine in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) parallels stabilization of MRS measures of brain NAA and MRI volumetric measures of hippocampal volume.
