The city of Baltimore, Maryland, currently has 14 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.

Optimizing Cognitive, Environmental, and Neuromotor Stimulation in Traumatic Brain Injury
Recruiting
Patients with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are at elevated risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Improvements in TBI treatment may mitigate this risk. Complex motor activities, which combine physical and cognitive demands, have been shown to have well established neurocognitive benefits. This study seeks to address the need for novel TBI interventions optimized for adults with history of TBI by determining the effectiveness of an immersive computer game designed... Read More

Providing Evidence-Based Approaches for Caregiver Stress Study
Recruiting
The purpose of this preliminary study is to examine the effects of adult day service use on subjective and physiological measures of stress in 50 Black informal caregivers for individuals with dementia (IWD). The PI of the proposed study has substantial training in primary data collection and complex-survey secondary data analysis, she also has the fundamental knowledge to investigate how sociocultural and behavioral factors can influence psychosocial stress. The proposed study will enroll parti... Read More

User-Led Meaningful Activity and Early-Stage Dementia
Recruiting
Neuropsychiatric symptoms are the most difficult, distressing, and burdensome aspects of dementia care and a catalyst for long-term care placement. Intervention studies have largely focused on helping caregivers manage these symptoms. However, little has been done with regard to persons at the earliest stages of dementia, nor have persons with dementia played a direct and active, central role in helping to design intervention studies. This study focuses on building, pilot testing, and evaluating... Read More

Genetic Characterization of Movement Disorders and Dementias
Recruiting
Background: There are two basic types of movement disorders. Some cause excessive movement, some cause slowness or lack of movement. Some of these are caused by mutations in genes. On the other hand, dementia is a condition of declining mental abilities, especially memory. Dementia can occur at any age but becomes more frequent with age. Researchers want to study the genes of families with a history of movement disorders or dementia. They hope to find a genetic cause of these disorders. This ca... Read More

Life's End Benefits of Cannabidiol and Tetrahydrocannabinol
Recruiting
This is a multicenter randomized double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 2 study of an oral combination of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) compared to placebo over 12 weeks. This study is designed to test the hypothesis that treatment with an oral combination of THC/CBD will reduce agitation hospice care-eligible patients with agitation and dementia as measured by the Cohen Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) when compared to placebo at 2 weeks. This study will enroll approximat... Read More

ALIGN: Aligning Medications With What Matters Most (Demonstration)
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a pharmacist-led, primary care-based de-prescribing intervention for people living with dementia (PLWD) and the person's care partners. The intervention consists of the following strategies: 1) a de-prescribing educational brochure designed to activate the patient and care partner; 2) a single telehealth visit in which an embedded clinical pharmacist discusses the benefits and harms of the patient's medications with the patient and...

HEARS-SLP: Providing SLP-Delivered Hearing Health Care to Individuals With Cognitive Impairment
Recruiting
Building upon the HEARS audiologist-community health worker (CHW) model, this study intervention will be delivered by a speech-language pathologist (SLP). The primary objective of the study is to develop and test an affordable and accessible hearing rehabilitative intervention that will be delivered by a SLP to individuals with cognitive impairment.

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...
