Alzheimer's Disease

Background: Normal aging, as well as dementias such as Alzheimer s disease, can cause changes in the brain that affect memory, attention, and thinking. Researchers want to know if regular mental tasks (cognitive training) can improve brain function in older adults. They also want to know if psilocybin, a compound found in certain mushrooms, can further support improved brain function. Objective: To learn how regular cognitive training, with or without psilocybin, can improve brain health in older adults. Eligibility: People aged 65 years and older with mild cognitive impairment or early-stage Alzheimer s disease. Healthy older adults with normal cognition are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a test of their heart function and an imaging scan. They will have mental health screening and tests of their thinking and memory. They will practice brain-training tasks on a tablet. Participants will be divided into 2 groups: 1 will have cognitive training plus psilocybin; 1 will have cognitive training only. Those having cognitive training only will have 5 or 6 clinic visits. They will take the tablet home to practice brain training daily. They will wear a device to measure brain waves as they sleep; they may have 1 overnight stay in the clinic, or they may wear the device at home. Imaging scans and other tests will be repeated at each visit. Those taking psilocybin will have up to 9 clinic visits. In addition to the visits for cognitive training, they will take 1 psilocybin capsule by mouth 2 weeks apart (the second dose is optional). They will remain in the clinic for 24 hours after each dose.

Efforts to find treatments for AD have yielded only modest benefits, likely because longstanding AD pathological processes induce irreversible neurological compromise. These processes begin years before the onset of clinical symptoms. This possibility has been incorporated into a model describing stages of AD development, articulated by the NIA/Alzheimer's Association preclinical workgroup of which the Co-Director of the Kulynych Alzheimer's Research Center, Dr. Suzanne Craft, was a member. According to this model, the best hope for countermanding the effects of AD lies in intervening at the earliest possible point in the pathological cascade. There are several important ongoing efforts in adults with preclinical AD that directly target amyloid aggregation. Although this strategy addresses an important aspect of the AD pathological cascade, we believe that addressing metabolic dysfunction affecting glucose and insulin regulation offers a complementary approach, in that it may reduce amyloid burden and toxicity, while also directly enhancing synaptic health, brain metabolism, tau regulation and neurovascular function. The purpose of the ADCC is to identify and characterize early risk factors that predict cognitive decline and dementia in asymptomatic adults and adults with early signs of cognitive impairment. The data obtained from this study, collected at enrollment and follow-up will allow us to examine disease trajectory in individuals with and without prediabetes and other measures of glucoregulatory dysfunction in this process. The enrollees, who will be well-characterized with regard to cognitive and metabolic status through ADCC assessments, will provide an important resource for other local (institution) and national investigations. Data collected from participants enrolled in the ADCC will be stored indefinitely for future investigations.

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 in the brains of individuals with neurodegenerative brain disease compared to healthy volunteers. Eligibility: Adults age 18 years and older in good general health who have an adult-onset neurodegenerative dementia, such as AD, FTD, corticobasal syndrome, Huntington s disease, or MCI, ALS and healthy adult volunteers enrolled in protocols 01-M-0254 or 17-M-0181. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam with vital signs, and lab tests. They will have a neuropsychological testing. Their heart function will be measured. Participants will have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The MRI scanner is a metal tube surrounded by a strong magnetic field. Participants will lie on a table that slides in and out of the tube. The machine makes noise. Participants will get earplugs. Participants will have 2 PET scans. They will be injected with the study drugs through an intravenous catheter placed in an arm vein. The PET scanner is shaped like a doughnut. Participants will lie on a bed that slides in and out of the scanner. A plastic mask will be molded to their head to keep them from moving. A thin plastic tube will be put into an artery at the wrist or elbow crease area. This will be used to draw blood during the scan. Participants will have 2-5 study visits. Participation lasts 1 week to 4 months, depending on scheduling.

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy on improving cognitive performance as well as the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of NBI-1117567 administered once daily (QD) in adults with mild to moderate AD who are receiving stable treatment with an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

The goal of this clinical trial is to make sure that the values of older persons aged 65 years or older with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) or increased risk of mortality are known and respected, thereby reducing the burden of intrusive, unwanted medical interventions on their lives. The main aims of the study are: * To assess the impact of our Advance Care Planning (ACP) Counselor Video Program on ACP documentation and receipt of goal-concordant care in a diverse sample of older adults with ADRD or other serious illness * To compare resuscitation preferences, hospice use, healthcare utilization and costs Researchers will randomize participants into two groups. All participants will continue to receive routine care. Participants randomized to the Immediate-Start Intervention group will be offered the ACP Counselor Video Program during both Phase 1 and Phase 2. Participants randomized to the Routine Care/Delayed-Start Intervention group will receive routine care alone during Phase 1 and will be offered the ACP Counselor Video Program beginning in Phase 2. Each phase will last two years. Both groups will have access to the intervention during Phase 2. During the intervention, participants will: * Meet with ACP counselors * Watch ACP videos.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, irreversible neurological disorder and is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly population. Clinical symptoms of the disease may begin with occasional forgetfulness such as misplacement of items, forgetting important dates or events, and may progress to noticeable memory loss, increased confusion and agitation, and eventually, loss of independence and non-responsiveness. The purpose of this study is to test how safe ABBV-1758 is, how well it works, how the body processes it and what effects it has on the body. ABBV-1758 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. This study is conducted in 3 stages. Stage A is a multiple ascending dose study with a 1 in 5 chance (4:1 randomization) that participants are assigned to receive placebo. Stage B is a dose expansion phase, also using 4:1 randomization for ABBV-1758 or placebo. Stage C enrolls Japanese and Chinese participants with the same randomization scheme. Approximately 210 participants will be enrolled at about 55 sites in the United States, China, and Japan. Participants will receive intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) doses of ABBV-1758 or placebo once every 4 weeks (Q4W) for 24 weeks and will be followed for additional 12 weeks in the Follow-up Period. Participants will have the option of participating in a 12-month, blinded Extension Period receiving ABBV-1758 or placebo based on amyloid PET results. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care due to study procedures. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The safety of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and completing questionnaires.

Approximately 5.3 million people live with a long-term disability resulting from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and between 5-8% of those older than 60 suffer from Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia (ADRD). Consequences of these conditions can result in dramatic and persistent changes in functioning, impacting not only the patients, but also loved ones who become informal support persons. Many existing services help the family in the moment, but do not address long-term wellness. Thus, the purpose of this research study is to compare the effect of two different types of group wellness treatments for individuals with chronic mild TBI, moderate to severe TBI, and ADRD and their support persons.

Primary end point is the The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale. Participants will be followed-up for 9 months post-treatment.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of lecanemab-irmb in the real-world clinical setting as reported by events of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA)-edema (ARIA-E), ARIA-hemosiderin deposition (ARIA-H), symptomatic ARIA-E, symptomatic ARIA-H, and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) greater-than 1 cm in participants treated with lecanemab-irmb. The secondary purpose of this study is to: Evaluate the safety of lecanemab-irmb in the real-world clinical setting as reported by events of seizures, anaphylaxis, central nervous system (CNS) ischemic event, and death. Assess the safety of lecanemab-irmb when stratified by baseline characteristics including apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype, baseline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings consistent with a high risk for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), prior Alzheimer's Disease (AD) treatments, and antithrombotic therapy. Assess the risk of safety outcomes (ARIA-E, ARIA-H, ICH greater than 1 cm, seizures, anaphylaxis, CNS ischemic event, and death) associated with APOE genotype, baseline MRI findings consistent with high risk for CAA, prior AD treatment, and antithrombotic therapy within participants exposed to lecanemab-irmb in ALZ-NET. Assess the risk of safety outcomes (ARIA-E, ARIA-H, ICH greater than 1 cm, seizures, anaphylaxis, CNS ischemic event, and death) between participants exposed to lecanemab-irmb in ALZ-NET and subjects exposed to lecanemab irmb in Study 301. Assess the risk of safety outcomes (ARIA-E, ARIA-H, ICH greater than 1 cm, seizures, anaphylaxis, CNS ischemic event,and death) between participants exposed to lecanemabirmb in ALZ-NET and subjects exposed to placebo (PBO) in Study 301. Assess the risk of safety outcomes (ARIA-E, ARIA-H, ICH greater than 1 cm, seizures, anaphylaxis, CNS ischemic event, and death) between participants exposed to lecanemab-irmb in ALZ-NET and participants not exposed to anti-amyloid therapies in ALZ-NET. Assess whether the risk of safety outcomes associated with APOE genotype, baseline MRI findings consistent with high risk for CAA, prior Alzheimer's Disease treatments, and antithrombotic therapy differs between participants exposed to lecanemab-irmb in ALZ-NET versus those not exposed to anti-amyloid therapies in ALZ-NET.
