Active clinical trials for "Lewy Body Disease"

The primary objective of the study is to achieve mass balance recovery of [14C]-radiolabel in urine and feces and to identify and quantify the main elimination pathways of E2027.

It is now established that disturbances in social cognition are frequent in neurology and that they contribute to the development of social conduct disorders. Their assessment is therefore essential, particularly in order to propose early and adapted care. However, this assessment remains limited today. A new serious game-type test, REALSoCog, has been developed to address the shortcomings of current tools and to highlight disturbances in social behaviors. The latter are not always observed in consultation although they are often reported by caregivers. The objective of this research is therefore to validate the REALSoCog task in a pathological population (currently being standardized in the general population: CER-U, IRB N°: 00012020-115). The clinical interest of this task will be tested with a group of patients suffering from a neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DCL), fronto-temporal lobar degeneration (FTD)) in order to assess its sensitivity and specificity in the detection of social-cognitive disturbances, and in particular in terms of social behaviors (detection of social behavioral disorders reported in daily life). The objective is also to document the socio-cognitive profiles in the mentioned diseases thanks to a more ecological test, and to better understand the links between socio-cognitive processes on the one hand, and individual characteristics on the other hand (e.g. mood and social participation).

The goal of the study is to learn about how possible benefits of movement and music for individuals with dementia. Individuals with dementia will participate in a dance class. The study includes assessments of walking, balance and cognition.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy of Aricept in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).

Deep brain stimulation has been developed as a substitute for the classical lesioning methods previously used in stereotactic and functional neurosurgery. Recent, anecdotal cases reports suggested that electrical stimulation of the cholinergic output of the Nucleus Basalis of Meynert (NBM) may improve cognitive performances, especially the memory tasks. The present study aims to assess the effect of bilateral electrical stimulation of the NBM on the mnesic performance [assessed by the sum of the three free recalls of the Free and Cued Selective Recall Reminding Test (FCSRT)] in patients diagnosed with probable, moderate, Dementia with Lewy Bodies.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of E2020 in patients with Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB).

The lack of efficacious research-based interventions for such vulnerable older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/RD) and their caregivers (CGs) is a significant public health problem. Caregiving of sexual/gender minority older adults with AD/RD is of concern due to social stigma, marginalization, and isolation, which may be barriers to sustaining caregiving. It is necessary and timely to translate evidence-based culturally adaptable interventions for this underserved and stigmatized population. Reducing Disability in Alzheimer's Disease (RDAD) has been evaluated in a randomized controlled trial and has shown to successfully train community-dwelling CR (care receiver)-CG dyads to increase the physical activity and functioning of individuals with AD/RD and their CGs and to teach CGs techniques for managing behavioral symptoms of CRs. RDAD consequently decreases stress of CGs, delays institutionalization of CRs, and increases health related quality of life (HRQOL) of CRs and CGs. Thus, this study will evaluate the effect of the standard RDAD among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) CRs with AD/RD and their CGs, and this study will test a personalized intervention tailored to better respond to distinct risks experienced by CGs and LGBT CRs with AD/RD, addressing unique sexual/gender minority CG risk factors (e.g., identity management, stigma-related adverse or traumatic life events, and lack of social support).

A randomized placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three doses of study drug LY3154207 treated for 12 weeks in participants with mild-to-moderate dementia associated with LBD (PDD or DLB).

This study will be conducted to compare Irsenontrine to placebo on the cognitive endpoint of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the global clinical endpoint of Clinician's Interview Based Impression of Change Plus (CIBIC-Plus) Caregiver Input in participants with dementia with Lewy bodies after 12 weeks of treatment.
