Active clinical trials for "Alzheimer Disease"

The purpose of this study is to see if a medication called prazosin is useful in the treatment of agitation and aggression in persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other types of dementia in late life.

The purpose of this study is to assess xaliproden's potential capacity of slowing the deterioration of cognitive and global functions in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The patients participating in this study will take orally once daily xaliproden or placebo (inactive substance pill).

The purpose of this study is to learn whether treating individuals with Alzheimer's disease and depression with the anti-depressant medication sertraline (Zoloft) is helpful to people with Alzheimer's disease and to their families and caregivers.

The overall goal of this development project is to combine elements of two efficacious interventions into a mobile health (mHealth) App for informal dementia caregivers. The investigators will conduct a 3-month feasibility trial of the newly-developed CARE-Well App in 40 dementia caregivers to establish acceptability and feasibility of the intervention, study procedures, and outcome measures.

This study is designed as a randomized, open-label, single-dose, 6x3 crossover study.

This study will involve testing of an Alpha version of an app called "Building Relationships using Artificial Intelligence and Nostalgia" or BRAIN. The BRAIN App will be the first -ever artificial intelligence infused CST app for PWD. The app has two main goals: (1) to foster positive relationships between the care triad, and (2) to promote QoL while reducing responsive behaviors in PWD. Testing will examine the app's impact on engagement/affect for both PWD and professional Care Partners.

This study seeks to measure changes in cognition through verbal and visual test procedures and changes in biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and inflammatory and metabolic parameters that can be measure in the central nervous system (CNS) with advanced neuroimaging techniques in patients treated with NE3107 (17a-ethynyl-androst-5-3b,7b,17b-triol).

Two remote phone/zoom calls are required to assess experiences as a family coping with dementia.

The purpose of this study is to learn about health care use, costs, and clinical outcomes over time for amyloid positive participants with early stages of AD in the United States. This study is for research purposes only, and is not intended to treat any medical condition. No study therapy(ies) for AD will be administered.

The ALFA study is a long term, prospective, observational study of AD patients' adult children aimed at studying and characterizing key physio-pathological features of the preclinical phase of AD.
