Dementia Paid Clinical Trials in Indiana

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.

A cluster-randomized controlled trial (RCT) called "Reducing Risk of Dementia through Deprescribing" (R2D2) to evaluate the impact of a deprescribing intervention on important cognitive and safety outcomes. Read Less

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.

The goal of this pragmatic, embedded clinical trial is to analyze the implementation of Patient Priorities Care in primary care and geriatrics clinics with patients living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment. This study aims are: demonstrate the feasibility of using the electronic health record to identify a diverse cohort of eligible patient and patient-care partner dyads who will engage in a Patient Priorities Care conversation with a trained facilitator. demonstrate feasibility of pragmatically assessing clinical outcomes using the electronic health record, including a) number of days at home, b) total medications, and c) new referrals to specialist physicians. examine key feasibility measures across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic subgroups. Participants will receive a packet of information about Patient Priorities Care from their primary care clinic, in advance of their next upcoming clinic appointment. Individuals who receive a packet will have the opportunity to engage in a conversation about what matters most to them and what their priorities are, with trained facilitators at the clinic.

This is an extension study of the Phase 3 Studies 15-AVP-786-301, 15-AVP-786-302, and 17-AVP-786-305, which also allows participants from the Phase 2 Study 12-AVR-131 to be included. Read Less

Cognitive impairment related to dementia is frequently under-diagnosed in primary care settings. This problem is more prevalent in health disparities populations. The investigators developed the 5-Cog brief cognitive assessment that is simple to use, standardized, takes <5 minutes, does not require informants, and accounts for major technical, cultural, and logistical barriers of current assessments. The investigators propose a hybrid Type 1 effectiveness-implementation design in real-world settings to adapt and test the effectiveness of the 5-Cog paradigm to increase detection of cognitive impairment care in older adults presenting with cognitive concerns. The study aim is to evaluate, using a pragmatic cluster-randomized trial design, the effectiveness of the 5-Cog paradigm to increase 'incident cognitive impairment' detection (new MCI and dementia diagnoses) relative to enhanced usual care in 6,600 older patients presenting with cognitive concerns in 22 primary care clinics in Bronx and Indiana. As diagnosis without action will not improve patient care, 'improved dementia care' will be examined as a secondary outcome. Results will also be examined in NIH designated health disparity populations including underserved minority and socio-economically challenged populations. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, biomarker, cognitive and clinical efficacy of investigational products in participants with an Alzheimer's disease-causing mutation by determining if treatment with the study drug slows the rate of progression of cognitive/clinical impairment or improves disease-related biomarkers.

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 Exam (MMSE).

Aim 1: Characterize shared decision-making and unmet patient-caregiver dyads needs for patients with diabetes and Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD) while using a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device. Aim 2: Develop an interactive tool to enhance shared decision-making for diabetes management. Read Less

The program involves a virtual intervention to be delivered by RN or SW care coordinators over one year. Every care partner will receive monthly virtual visits during the first 3 months and then quarterly or more depending on assessed need. The intervention relies on a tailored approach in which patient and caregiver needs are identified during visits using validated assessment tools and addressed with standardized protocols. Protocols include management of behavioral/psychological symptoms of dementia, caregiver stress, medication management, comorbidity management and advance care planning. Read Less

ARTFL LEFFTDS Longitudinal Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ALLFTD) represents the formalized integration of ARTFL (U54 NS092089; funded through 2019) and LEFFTDS (U01 AG045390; funded through 2019) as a single North American research consortium to study FTLD for 2019 and beyond. Read Less

The purpose of the Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Study is to identify the genes that are responsible for causing Alzheimer's Disease (AD). One of the ways in which the risk factor genes for late onset AD can be investigated is by identifying and collecting genetic material from families with multiple members diagnosed with AD or dementia.
