Active clinical trials for "Dementia"

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and effect of JNJ-54861911 on level of amyloid-beta in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) and plasma following 4 weeks of treatment in Japanese participants asymptomatic at risk for Alzheimer Dementia (ARAD) at the intended target dose range.

This is a long-term-safety roll-over extension study for a Phase II Study (Protocol CPC-001-07).

This study seeks to evaluate safety and efficacy of Nelotanserin for the treatment of visual hallucinations in subjects with Lewy body dementia.

The primary objectives are to confirm that donepezil hydrochloride has superior efficacy compared with placebo in improving cognitive function, as measured by Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive subscale (ADAS-cog), and to demonstrate that donepezil hydrochloride has superior efficacy compared with placebo in improving global function, as measured by Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change-plus Caregiver Input (CIBIC-plus), in patients with dementia associated with cerebrovascular disease (VaD).

To date, there are no approved treatments for vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and the main therapeutic efforts are aimed at controlling vascular risk factors for countering VCI development or progression. Several studies have reported cholinergic deficits in brain and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with VCI. The effect of choline alphoscerate in clinical studies of Alzheimer's disease and VCI improved memory and attention impairments. The purpose of our study is to determine effectiveness of choline alphoscerate vs placebo in improving cognition in post-stroke patients with VCI-non dementia (VCI-ND).

Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the brain that appears to have important roles in social cognition and emotion in humans. In a pilot study, the effects of a single dose of oxytocin on measures of emotion recognition and behaviour in patients with Frontotemporal Dementia were investigated. The results from the pilot study suggested that oxytocin may be associated with a modest improvement in neuropsychiatric behaviours seen in patients with Frontotemporal Dementia. To further examine the safety and tolerability of oxytocin in this disorder, the present study will examine the safety and tolerability of three different doses of intranasal oxytocin administered to patients with Frontotemporal Dementia twice daily for 1 week.

The University of Washington's Northwest Research Group on Aging is partnering with Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) in Washington and Oregon to complete this translational investigation of RDAD (Reducing Disabilities in Alzheimer's Disease). RDAD is an evidence-based program with demonstrated efficacy in helping older adults with dementia maintain physical function and remain physically and mentally healthy. This study asks two questions: 1) Can AAA partners successfully translate and implement RDAD, and 2) Is AAA implementation of RDAD effective in producing desired outcomes among agencies, providers, and older adults with dementia and their family members. This study is being conducted in Washington and Oregon states.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of TRx0237 in the treatment of patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD).

To determine the effect of Thai traditional music on cognitive function, psychological health and quality of sleep among Thai older individuals with dementia.

The objectives of this phase II study of STA-1 capsule was to make preliminary evaluation on clinical efficacy and safety of STA-1 capsule in order that based on the dosage and study structure planned in this project, the dosage and study structure of phase III study can be confirmed.
