Active clinical trials for "Dementia"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Tanakan® is effective at slowing the progression from memory complaint to dementia of Alzheimer's type.

The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of risperidone (an antipsychotic medication) to that of placebo in the treatment of behavioral disturbances associated with dementia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of galantamine in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

TRIAL SUMMARY: This is an open-label, 24-week, investigator initiated study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of galantamine (16 8 to 24 mg/day; flexible dosing) in the treatment of Dementia with Lewy bodies. The primary efficacy variables will be the NPI -12, the COGDRAS tests of attention and visuospatial orientation, and the ADCS-CGIC. The secondary efficacy variables will be the MMSE, ADCS-ADL-Inventory, ADAS-Cog, PSQI, and the use of concomitant rescue antipsychotic medication. PET scanning will be obtained on 10 patients at one site. An interim analysis will also be performed. Safety outcome measures will be adverse event reports, vital signs, physical examinations, ECG, laboratory parameters and the UPDRS (motor subscale).

Objectives: The objective of this study will be to determine the safety, tolerability, drug blood levels, and efficacy of each of three doses of NS 2330 (Tesofensine) given once daily compared with placebo in patients with mild to moderate Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type.

We intend to conduct a phase III b trial to verify Oxcarbazepine's effect in agitation and aggression in patients with dementia. We designed the study as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi center trial. Hundred patients will be included. The treatment period will be eight weeks, with a further follow up of four weeks. The primary outcome measure will be the reduction in aggression and agitation as measured by means of NPI-NH-subscale agitation / aggression (Neuropsychiatric Inventory, Nursing Home Version). Secondary outcomes are reduction in aggression as measured by BARS (Behavior Agitation Rating Scale)and reduction in the burden to health-care personnel as measured by NPI-NH.

This study is aimed at investigating specific pharmacological interventions in the treatment of the disruptive, agitated behavior associated with Alzheimer's patients. In addition, it is hoped that specific clinical profiles will be found to predict which treatment is most effective for these particular patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of risperidone compared with placebo in the treatment of psychotic symptoms in patients with Alzheimer's disease

The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe to give multiple doses of CPI-1189 to HIV-infected, otherwise healthy, males. The study will also look at how CPI-1189 affects the levels of HIV, T cells (cells in the body that help fight infection), and three anti-HIV drugs (zidovudine, lamivudine, and indinavir) in the blood. Advanced HIV infection can cause AIDS dementia (brain damage due to HIV leading to losses of memory and muscle control). CPI-1189 may be able to postpone AIDS dementia or slow it down.

The purpose of this study is to see if adding stavudine (d4T) to anti-HIV drug regimens (with or without zidovudine, ZDV) can improve symptoms of AIDS Dementia Complex (ADC, problems involving the brain or spinal cord) in HIV-positive patients.
