Active clinical trials for "Alzheimer Disease"

The main purpose of this research project is to study how seizure-like activity affects the blood flow in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Changes in blood flow can change memory and thinking ability, as happens in Alzheimer's disease. The investigators are using a study drug called Levetiracetam, which helps control seizure-like activity to see if it can help change the abnormal blood flow in the brain that is seen in some people with Alzheimer's disease.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple oral daily doses of BMS-708163 in healthy young male subjects

PHASE: Phase 0, Exploratory Study OBJECTIVES: To collect drug safety, bio-distribution and dosimetry data, to begin collection of PET/CT imaging data, to acquire experience to improve study design and the conduct of future studies. DESIGN: Exploratory, open label, non-randomized, multi-center study. DURATION: Three visits - one screening, one imaging, and one follow-up visit at 24 hours post-dose PROCEDURES: Informed consent, collection of demographic information and medical history, administration of mental status exam, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead ECGs, routine blood tests to assess major organ functions, complete blood counts and clinical chemistries for safety, dosing with [F-18]W372, PET imaging scans of brain (in sixteen subjects), whole body PET imaging and urine collections for dosimetry evaluation (in four subjects only), observation and interviews following imaging to collect adverse events. SUBJECTS: Twenty (20) subjects ≥ 55 years old: Group 1 will consist of 10 subjects who have a low probability of being currently positive for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) as defined by the protocol criteria (MMSE ≥ 28). Four of the 10 subjects will undergo whole body PET imaging for dosimetry evaluations, and 6 of the 10 subjects will undergo PET imaging of the brain only. Group 2 will consist of 10 subjects who have a high probability of currently being positive for AD as defined by the protocol criteria (MMSE < 24); these 10 subjects will undergo PET imaging of the brain only.

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD0328 following once-daily dosing for 13 days in elderly healthy volunteers and to define maximum tolerated dose.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate if AZD3480 inhibits Cytochrome P450 1A2, 2C19, 3A4, 2C8, 2B6 and UGT1A1 activity.

This is a Phase 1 study in healthy subjects to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY2811376 single doses, how the body handles the drug, and the drug's effect on the body.

This study will evaluate the potential for a drug-drug interaction of Dimebon with ketoconazole and omeprazole, potent inhibitors of the drug metabolizing enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2C19, respectively.

The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS)as a treatment option for patients with cognitive, behavioral, and functional disability of Alzheimer's disease.

The main objective of this study is the improvement of the quality of life and state of health of elderly people with cognitive deterioration and their families through a weight loss prevention programme. The secondary objectives are the improvement of the state of nutrition, a reduction in the use of resources and a reduction in the burden on the main carer.

The main objective of this work is to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a specific Care and Assistance Plan for Alzheimer's disease (PLASA). The main outcome measure selected is incapacity in carrying out the basic activities of daily living, evaluated by the ADCS-ADL scale . The PLASA was developed by a working group appointed by the Direction Générale de la Santé as part of the government programme of action on Alzheimer's disease (October 2001, Ministère de l'Emploi et de la Solidarité).
