NCT00000702
To test whether zidovudine (AZT) is useful as a treatment for the neurologic syndrome called AIDS dementia complex. To determine how long AZT takes to reach cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), how long, and at what concentration it is found there. HIV infection can result in impairment in the function of the brain and spinal cord, leading to disturbances in the ability to think clearly and in strength and coordination. This disorder, which has been called the AIDS dementia complex, may be due to a direct effect of HIV on the nervous system. It is known that AZT does get into the brain to some extent, where it may reduce growth of HIV. It is hoped that AZT will stabilize or improve the symptoms of the AIDS dementia complex.
NCT02477800
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of monthly doses of aducanumab in slowing cognitive and functional impairment as measured by changes in the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) score as compared with placebo in participants with early AD. Secondary objectives are to assess the effect of monthly doses of aducanumab as compared with placebo on clinical progression as measured by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), AD Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (13 items) \[ADAS-Cog 13\], and AD Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living Inventory (Mild Cognitive Impairment version) \[ADCS-ADL-MCI\].
NCT02365922
Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD) is the neuropathological term for a collection of rare neurodegenerative diseases that correspond to four main overlapping clinical syndromes: frontotemporal dementia (FTD), primary progressive aphasia (PPA), corticobasal degeneration syndrome (CBS) and progressive supranuclear palsy syndrome (PSPS). The goal of this study is to build a FTLD clinical research consortium to support the development of FTLD therapies for new clinical trials. The consortium, referred to as Advancing Research and Treatment for Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ARTFL), will be headquartered at UCSF and will partner with six patient advocacy groups to manage the consortium. Participants will be evaluated at 14 clinical sites throughout North America and a genetics core will genotype all individuals for FTLD associated genes.
NCT00795730
This is a multiple dose study of NSA-789, the purpose of which is to assess the safety and tolerability in healthy subjects and subjects with Alzheimer's Disease
NCT02817906
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing the efficacy and safety of ITI-007 versus placebo administered orally once daily in the treatment of agitation in patients with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
NCT02916056
This is an open-label extension study in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease who have completed participation in the azeliragon Phase 3 (STEADFAST) trial. Patients will receive azeliragon 5 mg/day for up to 2 years.
NCT00930059
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of PF-04447943 compared to placebo on cognitive, behavioral and overall symptoms of Alzheimer's disease; evaluate the safety and tolerability of PF-0444793 compared to placebo; and determine the levels of PF-04447943 in the plasma over the course of the study.
NCT01922258
To compare the efficacy of flexible dosing of brexpiprazole with placebo in subjects with agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type
NCT03131453
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CNP520 on cognition, global clinical status, and underlying AD pathology, as well as the safety of CNP520, in people at risk for the onset of clinical symptoms of AD based on their age, APOE genotype and elevated amyloid.
NCT02016560
A Phase 2/3 cross-sectional and longitudinal observational study evaluating imaging characteristics of flortaucipir in control subjects and patients with clinically defined MCI and AD dementia (AD).
NCT04474405
This early phase 1 study explored the brain uptake, retention, and safety of flortaucipir and obtained preliminary information regarding dosimetry of flortaucipir.
NCT03117738
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group comparison study in subjects with Alzheimer's Disease. Following first screening period, subjects will be randomly assigned into one of the following arms: AstroStem and placebo control in a 1:1 ratio. AstroStem or placebo control will be administered via I.V. at Week 0. This procedure will be repeated 9 times at 2-week interval. Subjects will be scheduled for two follow-up visits at Weeks 30 and 52 to evaluate primary and secondary outcome endpoints.
NCT03625622
A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study will be performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treating AR1001 in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease for 26 weeks.
NCT02516046
This study is designed to test the relationship between ante-mortem flortaucipir Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and tau neurofibrillary pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), as measured at autopsy.
NCT00795418
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeated subcutaneous injections of CAD106 in patients with mid Alzheimer's disease
NCT01992380
This study will test if two flortaucipir PET scans up to 4 weeks apart in healthy volunteers, MCI and AD subjects provide the same results.
NCT00151502
The purpose of this study is to find out if atovastatin, when taken with a cholinesterase inhibitor, is effective for treating Alzheimer's disease.
NCT03040713
This study is designed to assess the usefulness of flortaucipir in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging for subjects diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD).
NCT00000657
To compare the safety and effectiveness of orally administered didanosine (ddI) with high dose orally administered zidovudine (AZT) in patients who develop or exhibit progression of the AIDS dementia complex (ADC) and who have not previously been intolerant to AZT at doses of up to 1000 mg/day. HIV-infected or AIDS patients may develop ADC which causes damage to the nervous system. ADC may be caused by some action of the AIDS virus on the nervous system, although similar problems can be caused by other infections because the AIDS virus lowers the body's ability to fight other infections. It is important to determine whether symptoms are due to ADC or to some other infection since treatment varies for different conditions. AZT has been shown to be beneficial to people with ADC although its effectiveness has only been studied in a small number of patients. Studies suggest that higher doses of AZT are more likely to be effective than standard doses in improving symptoms of ADC.
NCT02248636
This study tries to determine if stopping certain medications that are used to treat dementia will cause worsening from the patient and family perspective. All of the participants will take pills that look identical, and that may contain active drug or an inactive pill (a placebo). Half of the group will receive the same treatment they were taking before the study -- this is called the "sham discontinuation" arm. The other half will receive a reduced dose of their medication, and then an inactive pill (placebo) -- this is called the "real discontinuation" arm. Participants will be able to return to their previous dose of medication at any time during the study. The percentage of people who return will be measured and compared. Other medical events and factors such as behaviors, thinking, and caregiver distress, will be measured and compared between the groups.
