Active clinical trials for "Alzheimer Disease"

A randomized placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of PRX-03140 in subjects with Alzheimer's Disease receiving a stable dose of donepezil. The study consists of a 26-week double-blind treatment period.

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug called SAM-531 at three dosage levels. Subjects will receive either one of the 3 dosage levels of SAM-531, donepezil or placebo for the first 24 weeks of the study (period I). Subjects who receive placebo for period I will be assigned to receive the highest dose of SAM-531 SAM-531 for the remaining 28 weeks of the study, while subjects who received one of the three SAM-531 dosage levels or donepezil in period I will continue with the same study drug (period II).

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of BMS-708163 in patients with Prodromal Alzheimer's disease over a treatment period of a minimum of 104-weeks. In addition patients will be seen for safety visits at 4 and 12 weeks post treatment.

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of bapineuzumab when administered by subcutaneous injection. The study is open only to subjects who participated in the preceding double-blind study (3133L1-2203 US). Subjects will receive weekly injections of bapineuzumab for 3 years (156 doses). One dosage level will be included: 5 mg/week. All subjects will receive active treatment (bapineuzumab) and no subjects will receive placebo.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the study drug known as lanabecestat in participants with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treatment with atabecestat slows cognitive decline compared with placebo treatment, as measured by a composite cognitive measure, the Preclinical Alzheimer Cognitive Composite (PACC), in amyloid-positive participants who are asymptomatic at risk for developing Alzheimer's dementia.

This is an open label, PET study in healthy male subjects to determine if GSK2647544 is able to cross the blood-brain-barrier. The study will use GSK2647544 radiolabelled with fluorine-18 ([18F] GSK2647544) to determine the ratio of the concentration of the compound in tissue to that in plasma at equilibrium, expressed as the PET volume of distribution (VT). The study will consist of at least four visits; 2 screening visits, scanning day and follow-up. On Day 1 (scanning day) the subject will receive a single oral dose of GSK2647544 (100 mg) followed approximately 2 hours later by a single intravenous (IV) infusion of [18F]-GSK2647544 and a dynamic PET scan. Arterial and venous blood sampling will be used to determine the plasma kinetics of [18F]-GSK2647544 and unlabeled GSK2647544. In addition, each subject will undergo a structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain to aid in the definition of neuroanatomy. The dose of GSK2647544 was selected based on the review of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) data obtained in the first time in human (FTIH) study.

This study consists of two parts, Part I and Part II. The purpose of Part I of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of verubecestat (MK-8931) compared with placebo administered for 78 weeks in the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The primary study hypotheses for Part I are that at least one verubecestat dose is superior to placebo at 78 weeks of treatment with respect to change from baseline in Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) score and that at least one verubecestat dose is superior to placebo at 78 weeks of treatment with respect to change from baseline in Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living Inventory (ADCS-ADL) score. The first approximately 400 participants entering Part I of the study are identified as the Safety Cohort. Participants who complete Part I of the study may choose to participate in Part II, which is a long term double-blind extension to assess efficacy and safety of verubecestat administered for up to an additional 260 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 fixed doses of EVP-6124 compared to placebo for 26 weeks in subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease currently receiving stable treatment or previously treated with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

This is a follow-up study to assess safety and clinical activity of continued AFFITOPE® AD02 vaccinations in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Patients, who have already participated in AFF006 will be involved in 27 study sites in Europe. Duration of patient's participation in the clinical trial is 19 months.
