Active clinical trials for "Alzheimer Disease"

In Brazil, patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) receiving free drugs of government. Even having access to, little is known about the effectiveness, safety and adherence of drug therapy in this group of patients. The research aims to promote adherence and develop strategies to address Drug-Related Problems (DRP's) in AD patients elderly of reference centre for the Elderly of Araraquara. The clinical parameters will be assessed at the beginning and after the educational intervention period from April 2014 to April 2015.

A randomised four way crossover design in which each subject will receive two dose levels of TRx-0037 and two doses of TRx-0014 over approximately a four week period in randomised order.

The purpose of the study is to determine if the concomitant administration of rifampin with BMS-708163 will affect the Pharmacokinetics of BMS-708163 and to assess safety and tolerability of co-administration BMS-708163 and rifampin

The study is carried out in order to investigate if [11C]AZD2995, compared to [11C]AZD2184, is a more suitable PET ligand for in vivo imaging of β amyloid depositions in the human brain. In the study the two PET ligands will be examined in both healthy volunteers and patients with Alzheimer's Disease.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of rivastigmine given as an acute dose compared to placebo and after 1 month chronic dosing on fMRI response during a face recognition task. Furthermore, the aim is to investigate whether fMRI response is correlated with long term treatment effect at 6 months and 12 months.

The study is carried out in order to investigate if [18F]AZD4694, compared to [11C]AZD2184, is a suitable PET ligand for in vivo imaging of Aβ amyloid depositions in the human brain. In the study the two PET ligands will be examined in both healthy volunteers and patients with Alzheimer's Disease. A whole body dosimetry scanning will be performed in 6 healthy volunteers to obtain human data to estimate a safe dose.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate if AZD3480 and warfarin interact with each other or not, i.e. show the same or altered plasma concentration profiles when co-administered compared to administered alone.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a 3-week reminiscence intervention applied during bathing persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in decreasing resistiveness to care (RTC), relieving patient discomfort, and improving spouse caregiver appraisals of burden, capabilities and confidence while bathing the patient. Reminiscence provides opportunities for the patient to feel good and recall pleasant memories, easily done by caregivers in a home setting. Home visits and telephone calls from trained nurses provide coaching and practice for caregivers for the preliminary phase of this study. Each couple will be enrolled in the study for approximately 9 weeks. The study will recruit 100 patient/spouse caregiver couples randomly divided into one of two groups: reminiscence with coaching, or bathing support (control). Bathing support will be provided to participants in both conditions including: individualized assessment; education regarding bathing techniques for people with dementia; and individualized problem solving. In addition to the bathing support intervention, participants in the experimental group will receive a pleasant memories interview and reminiscence script with coaching for implementation. Caregivers will keep a journal of their experiences in bathing the care recipient.

The purpose of the study is to find out if the plasma concentration of galantamine extended release is changed when BMS-708163 is administered at the same time.

The purpose of the study is to determine if the concomitant administration of either ketoconazole or fluconazole with BMS-708163 will affect the PK of BMS-708163 and to assess safety and tolerability of BMS-708163
