Leucettinib-21 First-in-Human Phase 1 in Healthy Volunteers and Subjects With Down Syndrome and Alzheimer's Disease
Leucettinib-21 First-in-Human Phase 1 Study in 6 Parts: Single (Part 1 and 5) and Multiple (Part 3 and 6) Ascending Doses, and Food-Effect (Part 2) in Healthy Subjects, and Single Dose (Part 4) in People with Down Syndrome (DS) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). For Parts 1, 3, 4, 5 and …
A Multifocal tDCS-EEG Protocol for Improving Symptoms of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Early Dementia
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an integrated protocol using multifocal non invasive brain stimulation and brain recording combined with cognitive training is effective in treating cognitive and affective symptomatology in patients with mild cognitive impairment and early stages of dementia. The main questions it aims …
Lifestyle for the BRAin Health - Nutrition and Exercise Training Intervention
Due to the increasing incidence of dementia and the lack of causal treatment, non-pharmacological interventions represent an attractive and effective therapeutic strategy of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of a supervised 9-month intervention with aerobic-strength training and nutritional counseling …
Brain Outcomes With Lifestyle Change in Down Syndrome
The goal of this study is to determine if weight loss or changes in dietary intake can help prevent of delay adults with Down syndrome from developing Alzheimer's Disease Adults with Down syndrome without dementia will be randomized to either a weight loss group or a general health education control …
Autoimmune Features of Neurodegenerative Disorders
This study is being conducted to better understand the role of inflammation in Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The investigators plan to recruit 30 PD, 30 AD/Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI), and 60 age matched healthy controls in this study to study the role of immune response in …
Nature-based Virtual Reality Intervention for Depression in Alzheimer's Disease
Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), such as depression affect up to 90% patients with dementia. Non-pharmacological treatment of BPSD, can be difficult to access, require caregiver support, travel, and often have long waiting lists. Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative, portable, immersive, and accessible technology which can be …
HOme-based Brain Monitoring With a GARment-EEG to Study Cognitive Decline in the Aging Population
This study will investigate the validity of the HOGAR EEG/PSG monitoring kit designed by Bitbrain as a tool for characterizing and assessing cognitive function in older adults, as well as for detecting and predicting cognitive decline. The kit consists of two EEG headbands and a mobile computing device that allows …
Biomarker Exploration in Aging, Cognition and Neurodegeneration
The purpose of this research study is to understand the factors that underlie changes in thinking and memory with increasing age. The investigators will test the usefulness of MRI, PET, and cognitive testing in detecting subtle changes in the brain that precede cognitive decline. An addendum to this study includes …
rTMS for Apathy Clinical Trial
Apathy is a common, early, and disabling symptom in dementias and mild behavioural impairment such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is characterized by lack of interest and enthusiasm. Both repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, and methylphenidate, a medication, have been shown to improve apathy. …
PET Imaging of Cyclooxygenases in Neurodegenerative Brain Disease
Background About 5 million adults in the U.S. have Alzheimer s disease or another adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder. Many studies have found that inflammation in the brain contributes to these diseases. Researchers want to find a better way to measure this inflammation. Objective To learn whether COX-1 and/or COX-2 is elevated …
