NCT00056225
The purpose of this study is to determine whether reduction of homocysteine levels with high-dose folate (folic acid), B6, and B12 supplementation will slow the rate of cognitive decline in persons with Alzheimer's disease.
NCT00105547
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the change in cognitive ability and activities of daily living in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) as measured by specific evaluations during 18 months of dosing.
NCT00231946
The study is designed to investigate the activity of the hormone drug leuprolide acetate in stabilizing cognitive function in mild-to-moderate AD patients.
NCT00000178
This is a randomized placebo controlled, double blind study. Patients who meet eligibility criteria and decide to participate in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either drug treatment or a placebo. Neither the patients nor the participating investigators will know who is receiving the drugs and who is receiving the placebo. Participation involves 15 outpatient clinic visits over a 68 week period. Patients take study medication at varying doses (the maximum dose is 20 mg daily), along with calcium and vitamin supplements.
NCT00000179
Agitation affects 70 to 90 percent of patients with AD. Signs of agitation include verbal and physical aggressiveness, irritability, wandering, and restlessness. These behaviors often make caring for patients at home very difficult. Trazodone and haldol are two of the most commonly prescribed drugs for agitation in AD patients. Behavior management, a non drug approach, has been effective in reducing signs of agitation. Researchers have yet to compare the effectiveness of drug versus non drug therapy to treat agitation in AD patients and determine which is the best treatment. The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study, with funding from the National Institute on Aging, is conducting an agitation treatment program at 21 sites in 16 States. This study will assess which of the above treatments is most effective.
NCT00838084
This is a Phase 1 study in healthy subjects to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY2811376 single doses, how the body handles the drug, and the drug's effect on the body.
NCT00479219
To assess the pharmacodynamics (PD) of biomarkers amyloid beta peptide 40 and 42 (Ab40 and Ab42) in CSF, following single oral doses of GSI-953, an investigational drug, in healthy young subjects and patients with Alzheimer Disease (AD).
NCT00454870
The purpose of this study is to determine in an 8-week treatment study if MEM 3454 is a safe and effective treatment for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
NCT00103649
The purpose of this study is to assess xaliproden's potential capacity of slowing the deterioration of cognitive and global functions in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The patients participating in this study will take orally once daily xaliproden or placebo (inactive substance pill).
NCT00104273
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of two dose levels of rasagiline mesylate versus placebo in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's Disease who are taking Aricept.
NCT00380276
Open-label treatment with MPC-7869 for participants in a previous randomized study.
NCT00257673
The purpose of this study is to determine in a 12-week treatment study if MEM 1003 is a safe and effective treatment for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
NCT00104013
NCT00244322
The purposes of this study are to determine: * The safety of LY450139 dihydrate and any side effects that might be associated with it. * How much LY450139 dihydrate should be given and how long it may be detected in blood. * To determine if LY450139 dihydrate may have an effect on a protein found in blood, called A beta. This protein is studied in subjects with Alzheimer's disease. * To collect and store samples from blood and spinal fluid for research related to Alzheimer's disease and similar (neurodegenerative) diseases or inflammation (irritation) that may provide information on how subjects respond to LY450139 or other medications. Length of study: Approximately 29 weeks. Number of office visits: 11 for most subjects: initial visit, every other week during 14 weeks of study drug treatment, and 2 follow-up visits. At no cost, approximately 45 eligible participants will receive: * Study medication * Study-related diagnostic and laboratory evaluations
NCT00002163
To evaluate the benefit of adding 1592U89 to current antiretroviral therapies for AIDS dementia complex and to assess the safety and tolerance of the treatment regimens.
