A Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of PQ912 in Patients With Early AD
Recruiting
This is a phase 2A multi-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of varoglutamstat, with a stage gate to phase 2B. In phase 2A there will be adaptive dosing evaluation of three dose levels with exposure to varoglutamstat or placebo for a minimum of 24 weeks, with preliminary evaluation of both cognitive function and pharmacodynamic changes on EEG spectral analysis in approximately 180 participants. In the event that the stage gate for phase 2B is reached, the... Read More

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.

Disclosing Dementia Risk Based on Plasma Phosphorylated Tau
Recruiting
Novel blood-based biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD), such as plasma levels of tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (p-tau181), have shown great promise in detecting early AD pathology. While current studies point to this biomarker as having great clinical utility, one necessary step before clinical implementation is developing safe and effective methods for disclosure of results. Past risk disclosure studies have shown that disclosing risk for AD based on genetics or amyloid status is safe,... Read More

Tau PET Imaging in Atypical Dementias
Recruiting
The goal of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of mapping tau pathology in subjects with Primary Progressive Aphasia, using PET protocol with F-AV-1451 (trade name AV-1451) and to systematically document the extent and location of tau pathology in PPA patients in vivo using the same techniques.

Patient-Centered Dementia Care Practice Coaching Intervention
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare staff outcomes in long-term care communities who participate in the intervention versus those who do not. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is employee satisfaction impacted by the intervention and 2. Is dementia care confidence impacted by the intervention. Participants will include monthly coaching visits for the intervention group and completion of surveys pre, immediately post and three-months post. Researchers will compare the interve... Read More

Recruiting
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with lecanemab is superior to placebo on change from baseline of the Preclinical Alzheimer Cognitive Composite 5 (PACC5) at 216 weeks of treatment (A45 Trial) and to determine whether treatment with lecanemab is superior to placebo in reducing brain amyloid accumulation as measured by amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) at 216 weeks of treatment (A3 Trial). This study will also evaluate the long-term safety and tolerabili... Read More
