The Effects of Social Isolation and Social Interaction on the Risk of Dementia Progression and Brain Function in SCD (Subjective Cognitive Decline, SCD)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of social isolation and social interaction on the risk of dementia progression and brain function in SCD To explore the association between social isolation and lonely SCD populations and the occurrence and progression of MCI and AD through …
Social & Affective Cognition in Alzheimer's Disease & Associated Disorders
Recent studies have shown that individual neuropsychological scores of patients with Alzheimer's disease and Associated Disorders (ADAD) are only poorly correlated to their behavioral difficulties, such as disinhibition, apathy, social decision-making or vulnerability. Recently, social \& affective cognitive disorders have been highlighted as potential cause of social behavioral abnormalities. However, …
Cardiac-Control Affecting Learning Through Mindfulness (CALM)
Some types of meditation lead heart rate to become more steady as breathing quiets whereas others lead to large heart rate swings up and down (oscillations) as breathing becomes deeper and slower. The current study is designed to investigate how daily mindfulness practice with heart rate biofeedback during breathing in …
Analysis of 18F-XTR006 PET Imaging in Cognitively Normal Subjects, and Patients With MCI and AD
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of XTR006 injection PET visual reading in detecting brain neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in elderly subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and cognitively normal individuals. The main question it aims to answer is: • What …
Memory and Social Interactions
Memory and social interaction are intimately linked. On the one hand, social interaction is a privileged context for learning, and on the other hand, appropriate social interactions involve remembering the partners encountered and previous exchanges. People with Alzheimer's disease classic syndrome variant (AD) have a major impairment of episodic memory, …
Assessment of Foralumab Safety and Modulation of Microglial Activation in Alzheimer's Disease
This phase 2a study will research the safety and tolerability of Foralumab, a human anti-CD3 antibody. An antibody is a molecule secreted by the immune system. These molecules are created to identify a specific pathogen. Previous data on experimental mice has suggested that Foralumab increases the immune system activity in …
Tanycytes in Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia
Metabolic and hormonal deregulations are both a risk factor and a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), occurring early in the course of the disease. In FTD in particular, hyperorality and dietary changes are associated with metabolic and hormonal changes such as altered levels of the anorexigenic …
First-in-Human Evaluation of an Astrocytic Glutamate Transporter (EAAT2) PET Tracer in Dementia
This is a first in human study that will assess the safety and diagnostic performance of \[18F\]RP-115 (fluorine-18 labeled RP115), a positron emission tomography (PET) agent. This agent has the potential to identify the early changes that occur in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia …
Environmental Pollutants and Neurological Disorders
Environmental pollutants have emerged as a major global health concern, with growing evidence linking exposure to both traditional contaminants such as heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic) and novel pollutants-including micro- and nanoplastics, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), antibiotics, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals-to adverse neurological outcomes. These pollutants can cross or …
Nabilone for Agitation Blinded Intervention Trial
This study will look at whether nabilone is an effective treatment for agitation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Agitation is highly prevalent in patients with AD and is one of the most distressing and challenging-to-treat symptoms. Agitation is associated with faster progression to institutionalization, increased caregiver burden, poorer quality of …
