Active clinical trials for "Alzheimer Disease"

Our aim is to analyze two ancient Tamil practices (chanting and breathing exercise) if they are capable of stimulating saliva containing agents that can be beneficial to the nervous system. Our study subjects will perform Tamil chanting and Tamil breathing exercise. Saliva will be collected before, during and after the exercises. We will quantify the specific proteins in these salivary samples. The results will benefit further studies in various patient populations.

In this study different mass of the radioligand AZD4694 will be given to patients with Alzheimer's Disease and healthy volunteers to evaluate wich Mass of AZD4694 that gives the best opportunities for following disease progress and treatment effects.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and blood concentration of AZD3839 following oral administration of single doses in healthy men and women of non-childbearing potential

The purpose of this study is to refine and test the web-based delivery of a well-established in-person group program that provides information and education to informal caregivers (family and friends) of persons with Alzheimer's disease (or related illnesses).

This is a randomized clinical trial evaluating the benefits of a program that supports model care for persons with dementia and their family caregivers. Subjects were recruited from California, Nebraska and Iowa. Subjects determined to be eligible were consented and randomized into one of two groups. Two thirds of patients were enrolled into Navigated Care that provided them with assistance in meeting important benchmarks in their care, for example completion of legal and financial planning and strategies for minimizing caregiver burden. One third of patients were enrolled to a control group, entitled Survey of Care. Outcomes include quality of life, health care utilization, caregiver burden, satisfaction with care, caregiver depression, and caregiver self-efficacy.

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.

The study will evaluate the safety of LY3002813 by looking at adverse events. The study will also look at the effect the body has on LY3002813. Study participants will be healthy or will have mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild to moderate AD. There will be seven groups of study participants. Five groups will receive a single dose of LY3002813 or placebo (no drug), followed by up to 4 multiple doses of LY3002813 or placebo given as an injection into a vein. Approximately 12 weeks will pass between the single dose and the first multiple dose. One group of participants will receive a single dose of LY3002813 given as an injection under the skin. One group of participants will receive a single dose of LY3002813 given as an injection into a vein.

By doing this study, researchers hope to learn how much oxaloacetate (OAA) ends up in the blood after OAA capsules are swallowed, and to assess whether persons with Alzheimer's disease who take OAA for one month have any side-effects.

The primary objective of this proof of mechanism pilot clinical trial is to determine if the RXR agonist bexarotene acts in humans to alter the CSF levels of apoE and alter the clearance of Amyloid-Beta
