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 …
Therapeutic Evaluation of Low-dose IL-2-based Immunomodulatory Approach in Patients With Early AD
Study aims at evaluating the therapeutic efficacy and safety of low-dose IL-2 immunomodulatory treatment in patients with early AD, in a phase II, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial. Patients with AD at early stage will be recruited and randomized (2:1) in each treatment group. The primary endpoint …
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.
Monitoring Drug Efficacy in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease
This study will explore the different factors associated with drug response to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor (donepezil) and NMDA receptor antagonist (memantine) in patients with Alzheimer's Disease.
Longitudinal Imaging of Microglial Activation in Different Clinical Variants of Alzheimer's Disease
The purpose of this study is to determine how inflammation is related to other changes in the brain that occur during the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The investigators are also studying how inflammation is related to the symptoms that first occur in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). For this reason, …
Gamma-Music Based Intervention for Mild Alzheimer's Disease
The study will test and refine a novel brain-stimulation tool using gamma-frequency lights coupled with self-selected music for a gamma-music-based intervention for participants with mild Alzheimer's Disease. Results will yield a gamma-stimulation protocol that reliably influences brain activity (Aim 1), is adaptive, motivating and rewarding to use (Aim 2), and …
