Novel Augmentation of DAOIB and Antioxidant for Early Dementia
Previous studies found that some NMDA-enhancing agents were able to improve cognitive function of patients with early-phase dementia. In addition, several drugs with antioxidant properties have been tested in clinical trials for the treatment of dementia too. Whether combined treatment of an NMDA-enhancing agent and a drug with antioxidant property …
Educational Support Group Program for Bilingual and Spanish-speaking Carepartners and People With Progressive Aphasia
The current study aims to examine the benefits of an education/support group program for individuals with progressive aphasia (caused by various etiologies, diagnoses) and their carepartners. The current study utilizes pre-, post-treatment, and follow-up assessments to measure effects of a psychoeducational support group and an implementation/communication skills training phase on …

LEADing Dementia End-of-Life Planning Conversations
Advance care planning is important for all adults, but perhaps even more so for the 5.7 million persons with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia (ADRD), due to the progressive and protracted cognitive deterioration associated with the disease process. In the context of ADRD, medical decision-making at the end of life …
Individual Closed-Loop Neuromodulation Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease
The project is a placebo-controlled study that aims to use closed-loop transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to study patients with symptoms of mild cognitive impairment which is likely due to Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia (AD-MCI). Patients will undergo an EEG and complete some questionnaires and computer tasks …
A Longitudinal Study to Explore the Impact of Gut Microbiome on Brain Health in Alzheimer's Disease
Gut microbiota dysfunction is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the potential modulatory mechanism remains unclear. Previous studies have shown that gut-derived metabolites short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) may be the key mediators between gut microbiota and brain, participating in the modulatory pathway "gut microbiota-SCFAs-brain networks". In this project, high-throughput targeted …
Prospective Cohort Study of Patients With Early Alzheimer's Disease Treated With Lecanemab
As the population increases and aging intensifies, cognitive disorders represented by Alzheimer's disease (AD) not only pose a severe threat to public health but also bring significant social and economic burdens. Previously, treatment options for Alzheimer's disease were very limited, mainly providing symptomatic relief with few available medications. Lecanemab, an …
Screening for Anti-amyloid Treatment Eligibility Using Digital Cognition and Blood-based Biomarkers
This study evaluates a diagnostic screening solution for Alzheimer's disease (AD) using digital cognitive assessments and blood-based biomarkers. The aim is to reduce time-to-treatment for patients who may benefit from disease-modifying therapy (DMT). The study involves 500 patients referred to the MoCA Clinic in Montreal. Clinical stages will be assessed …
