Blood Biomarkers for Alzheimer Disease and Neuro-injury to Estimate the Association With Cognitive/Functional Decline and Mortality in a Real-world Population of GERiatric Hospitalized Patients (BAD-GER)
The BAD-GER study is a multicenter, prospective, three-arm observational study serving to validate a prognostic biomarker algorithm for mortality and hospital readmission; this algorithm will be developed through the retrospective analysis of Alzheimer's Disease and neurodegeneration biomarkers in an already available discovery cohort of 700 previously hospitalized geriatric patients.
Brain Effects of Gamma Frequency Sensory Stimulation (40Hz Light, Sound and Other Devices)
Despite the huge healthcare and economic impact of AD, there is still no disease modifying therapeutics available. In fact, the available therapeutics show low efficacy at best in the treatment of cognitive impairment in dementia. Development of a non-invasive medical device that is effective in slowing cognitive impairment is not …
Nicotinic Acid for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease
Increased dietary intake of niacin is correlated with reduced risk of Alzheimer's Disease and age-associated cognitive decline. The goal of this study is to collect data on the penetration of commercially available, FDA approved, extended-release niacin into the spinal fluid. One dose of 500 mg nicotinic acid will be used …
Near-Infrared Light Therapy Combined With Lecanemab for Mild Alzheimer's Disease
The goal of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of near-infrared light combined with lecanemab in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study will employ a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled method with an open-label extension phase. This trial contains the core phase and an extension phase. During …
Imaging Biomarkers in Preclinical and Symptomatic AD
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate adult children of parents with and without Alzheimer's disease which represent an ideal population for investigating the biological changes that precede the clinical onset of AD. The investigators will be imaging the brain to detect the presence of amyloid deposits (plaques …
Influence of Oxidative Stress and Nutrition Biomarkers on the Cognitive Decline Evolution in Alzheimer Disease
According to several reports, the oxidative stress and the nutrition could have an impact in the Alzheimer disease. The association of these two parameters measurements and the cognitive impairment decline could help in a predictive diagnosis of cognitive decline evolution in patients presenting cognitive disorders. This is a monocentric prospective …
UAB Alzheimer's Disease Center Core Cohort - Imaging Substudy
The primary objective of this study is to measure the concentration and the regional brain distribution of pathologic amyloid deposition using the PET tracer \[C-11\]PiB in participants in the UAB Alzheimer's Disease Center cohort. Assessment of interactions between race and vascular risk factors, brain amyloid levels measured with \[C-11\]PiB-PET, and …
Prediction of Effectiveness of rTMS Application in Alzheimer's Patients
Since pharmacological methods are insufficient in the treatment processes of Alzheimer's disease, non-pharmacological methods such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) have started to be tried as a treatment option as in other neurological and psychiatric diseases. Repeated (rTMS) offers a potential treatment pathway for neurological and psychiatric illnesses. rTMS benefit …
Amyloid-β Clearance Mechanisms in Alzheimer's Disease
The focus of this study is to examine the protein-plaque clearance (Aß) in relation to the blood-brain-barrier, the glymphatic system, brain lymphatic system and enzymatic degradation. In order to achieve this aim the investigators intend to study participants with a Subjective Cognitive Decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment and a mild Alzheimer's …
Cannabidiol Medication Intervention Trial
CALM-IT is a Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over clinical trial. Safety and efficacy of cannabidiol (CBD) capsules assessed for managing agitation in patients with AD and to identify novel biomarkers of agitation severity and treatment response.
