There are 10 clinical trials
The aging US population threatens to overwhelm our healthcare infrastructure, especially since the rate of Alzheimer's disease (AD) alone is expected to triple in the coming decades. Memory cause functional impairment, reduced quality of life, increased caregiver burnout, and eventual institutionalization. The diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) identifies those with memory deficits but who remain relatively independent in everyday life. MCI provides a window for interventions that target memory functioning. The proposed study focuses specifically on a groundbreaking combination of mnemonic rehabilitation and non-invasive brain stimulation. The main idea is that brain stimulation can enhance functioning in the specific brain regions/networks, thereby increasing the patients' ability to benefit from different types of memory rehabilitation. This will be a randomized, double-blind study (active vs. fake brain stimulation), that provides multiple treatment session. Outcome will be examined using both laboratory-based and real-world memory testing as well as brain imaging. This first-of-its-kind study has the potential to meaningfully translate more "basic" science findings into neuroanatomically targeted and functionally meaningful treatments for our aging population.

Measure: Subjective memory test performance on the MMQ Time: change from baseline to 3 monthsDescription: Planned analyses to examine patient specific characteristics that affect treatment efficacy and would be vital for clinical translation at the individual patient level. These include: Neuropsychological test scores, brain volumes/cortical thickness, and other possible MRI factors.
Measure: Planned (tertiary) analyses of patient-specific characteristics that affect treatment outcome Time: post treatment (within ~ 96 hours) & 3 monthsNighttime agitation in persons with Alzheimer's disease causes patient suffering, distresses caregivers, and often results in prescriptions for harmful antipsychotics. Effective treatments are lacking because of limited knowledge of the etiology of nighttime agitation. The investigators propose a clinical trial to better elucidate whether a sleep disorder, restless legs syndrome, may be a mechanism for nighttime agitation, and if treatment with gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant®) reduces nighttime agitation, improves sleep, reduces restless legs syndrome behaviors, and reduces antipsychotic medications.
Description: The CMAI, modified for direct nighttime observation, will be used to collect objective data on nighttime agitation. Research Assistants (RAs) continuously observe the persons with dementia and record agitation behaviors every 5 minutes. The measure requires that the RAs first note whether the participant is behaviorally awake or asleep. Sleep is defined as a quiet state with eyes closed. Nighttime agitation behaviors are scored during wake. The RA will directly observe the participant when he, or she, is out of bed and record the observations using the CMAI. After the participant has gone to bed, the RA will observe him, or her, via a video camera placed in the bedroom and a small handheld monitor located in a hallway or room adjacent to the bedroom. The monitor will be shielded from view of non-research personnel when on, and turned off between 5-minute observations. The RAs will endeavor to be as sensitive as possible to the privacy of participants.
Measure: Nighttime Agitation - Cohen Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) - Direct Observation Time: Change from baseline at 2 and 8 weeksDescription: The same primary caregivers, if possible, on the evening and night shifts will each complete the CMAI Caregiver Version at baseline and 8 weeks.
Measure: Nighttime Agitation - Cohen Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) - Caregiver Version. Time: Change from baseline at 2 and 8 weeksDescription: The mADCS-CGIC measures clinically meaningful change in the patient's condition relative to baseline on a 7-point Likert scale (markedly worse to markedly improved). The scale was modified to assess items specific to agitation, producing global ratings of change in agitation. This scale will be completed by the study Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) based on physical examination and interviews with nursing home caregivers and persons with dementia (if able).
Measure: Nighttime Agitation - Modified Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Clinical Global Impression of Change (mADCS-CGIC). Time: Change from baseline at 2 and 8 weeksDescription: The RA will continuously observe the participant in the evening and night and note every 5 minutes whether the participant is behaviorally awake or asleep. The sleep disturbance outcome will be collected at baseline and 8 weeks. Sleep and wake will be defined as percent of observations asleep or awake on Night 1, 5 pm-10 pm; and Night 2,10 pm-7am. The investigators have chosen to observe on 2 nights at different times to capture any night-to-night and time of night variability in sleep.
Measure: Sleep Disturbance - Direct Observation Time: Change from baseline at 2 and 8 weeksDescription: The BIT-RL consists of two parts: 1) Behavioral Indicators - direct observations for RLS behaviors, such as kicking or rubbing legs (8 items), and 2) Clinical Indicators - medical history or family informant interview (3 items), interviews with caregivers (2 items), and an interview with the resident with dementia (1 item). The research assistants (RAs) will continuously observe each participant for RLS behaviors for 20 minutes on one evening, between 6 pm and the usual bedtime. The study APN will assess for the Restless Legs Syndrome Clinical Indicators by reviewing the medical records, and interviewing family members, evening and night shift nurses, and participants. One item, leg discomfort (yes or no) requires an answer from the participant with dementia. The APN will assess for discomfort in legs in the evening during the interval when the evening nurses report that the participant with dementia is most restless.
Measure: Sleep Disturbance - Behavioral Indicators Test - Restless Legs (BIT-RL) Time: Change from baseline at 2 and 8 weeksDescription: The micro-mini actigraph is wristwatch-sized accelerometer worn on the wrist. In the investigators' previous studies with over 400 nursing home residents with dementia the investigators have "locked" the actigraph on the participant's wrist with a plastic tie that is comfortable to wear, yet difficult to remove. The actigraph is waterproof and can be left on during showers. Nighttime total sleep time is the main actigraphy sleep outcome. The investigators also will measure other sleep disturbance variables, including nighttime wake after sleep onset, sleep efficiency, sleep latency, and awakenings with the actigraph. Daytime will be defined as 7 am-7 pm, and nighttime will be defined as 7 pm- 7 am. Because the investigators have found that sleep varies in persons with dementia and multiple nights are often needed to obtain a more reliable measure, the investigators will measure sleep for 7 days and nights at baseline and 7 days and nights at 8 weeks.
Measure: Sleep Disturbance - Micro-Mini Motionlogger® Actigraph Time: Change from baseline at 2 and 8 weeksDescription: This is a single question measure: "How do you judge the risk that Mr. or Mrs. X will fall within 6 months - high or low?" asked at baseline, week 2, and week 8 of a nurse or aide with personal knowledge of the resident. If possible, the same nurse, aide, or caregiver will complete the GLORF each week.
Measure: Fall Risk and Cognition - Global Rating of Fall Risk (GLORF) Time: Change from baseline at 2 and 8 weeksDescription: The MMSE (range 0-30) is a 30-item cognitive screen measuring orientation, registration, short-term memory, attention/concentration, language and constructional capacity. The MMSE is a widely used screening test of cognition and takes about 10 minutes to administer to the person with dementia.
Measure: Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) Time: Change from baseline at 2 and 8 weeksDescription: The Physical Mobility Scale (PMS) is an 8-item performance-based scale routinely used to assess mobility of elderly persons living in long-term care facilities.
Measure: Physical Mobility Scale (PMS) Time: Change from baseline at 2 and 8 weeksThis study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy of lecanemab in participants with early Alzheimer's disease (EAD) by determining the superiority of lecanemab compared with placebo on the change from baseline in the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) at 18 months of treatment in the Core Study. This study will also evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of lecanemab in participants with EAD in the Extension Phase and whether the long-term effects of lecanemab as measured by the CDR-SB at the end of the Core Study is maintained over time in the Extension Phase.

Measure: Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) Time: 2 Days Part A and 60Days Part BThe 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, the investigators are asking people with different versions of Alzheimer's disease to participate. This includes patients with either: - Posterior cortical atrophy - a version of Alzheimer's disease with vision difficulties - Logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia - a version of Alzheimer's disease with language difficulties - Amnestic Alzheimer's disease - a "typical" version of Alzheimer's disease with memory difficulties - The investigators are also enrolling older adults with normal visual, language, and memory function.

Scores range from -3 to +3 with higher scores indicating better cognitive performance.
Measure: Change in Cognition using preclinical Alzheimer's Cognitive Composite 5 (PACC5) Time: Baseline to 12 monthsDescription: CDR is obtained through semistructured interviews of patients and informants, and cognitive functioning is rated in 6 domains of functioning: memory, orientation, judgment and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care. Each domain is rated on a 5-point scale of functioning as follows: 0, no impairment; 0.5, questionable impairment; 1, mild impairment; 2, moderate impairment; and 3, severe impairment. Domain scores are entered into an online algorithm and CDR-SOB score obtained by summing each of the domain box scores, ranging from 0 to 18. A lower score indicates better cognition.
Measure: Change in Cognition using Clinical Dementia Rating Scale sum of Boxes (CDR-SOB) Time: Baseline to 12 monthsDescription: Functional status will be measured using the functional assessment scale (FAS). The FAS is completed by a collateral source and assesses ability to complete instrumental activities of daily living. The scale has 10-items and responses range from 0-3. The total score is a sum of the individual items. The total score ranges from 0 to 30 with higher scores indicating more assistance needed.
