The city of Chicago, Illinois, currently has 16 active clinical trials seeking participants for Dementia research studies.
Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative 4
Recruiting
Since its launch in 2004, the overarching aim of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) Study has been to validate biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials. ADNI4 continues the previously funded ADNI1, ADNI-GO, ADNI2, and ADNI3 studies that have combined public/private collaborations between academia and industry to determine the relationships between the clinical, cognitive, imaging, genetic and biochemical biomarker characteristics of the entire spectrum of AD.

Pragmatic Evaluation of Events And Benefits of Lipid-lowering in Older Adults
Recruiting
PREVENTABLE is a multi-center, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled superiority study. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to atorvastatin 40 mg or placebo. This large study conducted in community-dwelling older adults without cardiovascular disease (CVD) or dementia will demonstrate the benefit of statins for reducing the primary composite of death, dementia, and persistent disability and secondary composites including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and cardiovascular events.

PERSEVERE: Peer Mentor Support and Caregiver Education in Lewy Body Dementia
Recruiting
Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is the second most common form of degenerative dementia, affecting at least 2.4 million US adults, and the overwhelming majority of persons living with LBD (PLBD) are cared for by family caregivers. LBD caregiver strain: 1) exceeds that of non-LBD dementia caregivers; 2) worsens caregiver physical and mental health; and 3) increases the risk of PLBD hospitalization and institutionalization. LBD progression is complicated by combined motor, cognitive, and neuropsychiatric... Read More

Promoting In-Home Activities at a Memory & Aging Clinic
Recruiting
The objective of the proposed study, "Promoting In-Home Activities at a Memory & Aging Clinic (Pro-Home MeC)", is to assess and improve the feasibility of a physical activity (PA) intervention and the measurement of cognitive outcomes in a memory clinic setting for inactive older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia and to examine how and improve the feasibility and acceptability of the procedures.

A Pivotal Study of Sensory Stimulation in Alzheimer's Disease (Hope Study, CA-0011)
Recruiting
This is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, adaptive-design pivotal study of sensory stimulation in subjects with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Approximately 530 subjects will be randomized to 12 months of daily treatment with either Active or Sham Sensory Stimulation Systems. Efficacy will be measured using the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study- Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) assessment and a combined statistical test (CST) of the ADCS-ADL and the Mini-Mental State E...

Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) Diet in Stroke Patients Patients
Recruiting
To test the effects of a 2- to 3-year intervention of the MIND diet versus usual post-stroke care on cognitive decline, the characteristic feature of dementia, and on brain biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and vascular disease in a Phase Ill randomized controlled trial of 500 patients hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke, aged 55 years or older, and without dementia who are discharged home following hospitalization.

Characterizing Variability in Hearing Aid Outcomes in Among Older Adults With Alzheimer's Dementia
Recruiting
This current translational project, funded by NIH, aims to better understand the impact of various signal modification strategies for older adults with Alzheimer's dementia and its potential precursor, known as amnestic mild cognitive impairment. The investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia represent an extreme case of restricted cognitive ability, such that very low working memory capacity and overall reduced cognitive capacity will limit benefit from advanced signal proc...

Biomarkers for Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Consortium
Recruiting
Biomarkers for Vascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia (MarkVCID) is an NIH-funded consortium dedicated to finding biomarkers involved in age-related thinking and memory problems. Alzheimer's disease and other dementias leave signatures on brain scans or in the blood called biomarkers. The MarkVCID study will measure a panel of candidate biomarkers in 1800 participants and watch them closely to see what they tell us about changes in brain function and risk of memory loss. Ag...
