Equol for Cognitive Impairment
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The ACE Trial, funded by the National Institute on Ageing/National Institutes of Health (NIH), is a multicenter clinical trial. The ACE Trial will determine if taking the dietary supplement Equol could slow the progression of stiffening of the arteries, small blood vessel disease in the brain and memory decline. Equol is a soy-based supplement that has plant estrogen-like compounds in it.
Equol is a metabolite of soy isoflavone. Our studies in Japan and other studies suggest that Equol may slow mechanisms related to memory decline. No previous studies in the United States have tested the effect of Equol on these mechanisms or memory decline. Supplementation of Equol in the ACE Trial is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, are recruiting participants.
The ACE Trial will ask participants to complete 7 clinic visits over a two-year period. The participants are asked to take Equol tablets daily for 24 months. Clinic procedures include Pulse Wave Velocity (to measure arterial stiffness), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain and tests of awareness and thinking.

Non-Contact Sleep Monitor for Alzheimer's Disease
Indianapolis, Indiana
This study seeks to evaluate the utility and efficacy of the Non-Contact Sleep Quality Monitor System when used to monitor the sleep quality of individuals living in long-term care (LTC) with either Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementia (ADRD). This before-after comparison trial will be conducted in several LTC facilities to evaluate the effect access to System Sleep Quality Data has on documentation of sleep disorders or treatments and sleep quality change over time for AD/ADRD participants in the intervention group as compared to the control group.
All subjects will undergo sleep quality monitoring for 4-weeks. At the end of the first 2-weeks, research staff and LTC facility staff and medical providers will receive access to sleep monitoring data. We hypothesize that when real-time System Sleep Data is shared with LTC staff or healthcare providers, that sleep disturbances will be more readily detected, leading to timelier, better tailored treatment interventions for sleep disturbances, thereby improving sleep quality and decreasing daytime physical inactivity.

Prehabilitation Interventions for Surgery Patients
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
This study will contribute to creating a prospective and robust automated preoperative risk assessment algorithm for 30-day mortality, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) outcomes following elective general, orthopedic, cardiac, or vascular surgery. It will help to identify correlations between perioperative factors and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or AD-related dementias (ADRD). Lastly, this study will create effective, validated multi-modal interventions to improve perioperative health. This study will explore two main hypotheses: 1. Preoperative prehabilitation and proactive cognitive/behavioral interventions will effectively improve postoperative cognitive outcomes, morbidities, and mortality, and; 2. The proactive bundled interventions are superior to current standard of care in reducing postoperative cognitive outcomes, MACCE and mortality. Expected Outcome: Improved EHR algorithm will have higher predictive accuracy for MACCE and mortality while predicting postoperative cognitive outcomes.

UPLIFT-AD for Alzheimer's Disease
Indianapolis, Indiana
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a comprehensive model for integrating both primary and specialty Palliative Care for older adults with dementia into nursing facilities. Palliative Care is a supportive care approach that aims to improve the quality of life of patients and their families facing serious or life-threatening illnesses, through the prevention and relief of suffering through the treatment of pain and other problems, using physical, psychosocial and spiritual approaches. Palliative care is specialized medical care for people who are living with a serious illness. This type of care is focused on providing relief from the symptoms and from the stress of the illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both patient and family.
The UPLIFT-AD model will include providing education on primary Palliative Care for residents with dementia to nursing facility staff, training nursing facility staff in providing primary Palliative Care, and providing access to specialty Palliative Care consultations for residents. To help understand the impact of these interventions, this study will also collect information about resident health, the care they receive, and perceptions of their quality of life according to both family members and nursing facility staff.

Hearing Aid Signal Processing for Alzheimer's Disease
Chicago, Illinois
This current translational project, funded by NIH, aims to better understand the impact of various signal modification strategies for older adults with Alzheimer's dementia and its potential precursor, known as amnestic mild cognitive impairment. The investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia represent an extreme case of restricted cognitive ability, such that very low working memory capacity and overall reduced cognitive capacity will limit benefit from advanced signal processing. Thus, the investigators hypothesize that adults with Alzheimer's dementia will receive greater benefit from acoustically simple, high-fidelity hearing aid processing that minimally alters the acoustic signal.

RQC for Alzheimer's Disease
Chicago, Illinois
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether oral resveratrol, quercetin, and curcumin (RQC) can prevent the accumulation of retinal amyloid-β and/or cognitive decline over 24 months in adults aged 50-90 with Stage 1 or 2 Alzheimer's disease as described in FDA-2013-D-0077. The trial will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of RQC. Curcumin, which binds to amyloid-β, will act as a fluorescent label to identify retinal amyloid-β in vivo using optical coherence tomography (OCT)-autofluorescence imaging. The investigators will longitudinally evaluate the effect of RQC on retinal amyloid-β load cognitive outcomes including the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and potential microvascular biomarkers. The investigators will also evaluate associations between retinal amyloid-β and progression to early Alzheimer's disease (mild cognitive impairment). The investigators will compare RQC, taken daily for 24 months, with curcumin alone, taken only during the 7 days preceding each of the six study visits to see if RQC can prevent (or reduce) amyloid-β and prevent the onset of mild cognitive impairment.

Automated Medication Dispensing for Dementia
Chicago, Illinois
Globally, \>47M individuals live with dementia, with new incidence of 7.7M annually. Medication mismanagement is one of the most common and concerning risk factors in people with dementia (PwD), as it leads to undertreatment, emergency room visits, hospital admissions/readmissions, and serious adverse events. 3M older U.S. adults are admitted to nursing homes due to drug-related adherence problems with costs \>$14B/year. Furthermore, 30% of hospital admissions of older adults are drug related with 11% attributed to medication non-adherence and 17% to adverse drug reactions. While Alzheimer's disease (AD) \& type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) individually have considerable morbidity \& mortality, they often occur together, worsening adverse outcomes, quality of life, \& care costs. This is especially true as the AD/DM combination creates a complex balancing act of med management \& symptom monitoring in older populations. While the goal is to keep older adults with dementia at home as long as possible, these challenges lead to untold personal \& family suffering, as well as billions in potentially avoidable healthcare costs annually. The HiDO-ALZ platform will solve these challenges by automating medication administration for PwD to eliminate mismanagement, decrease caregiver burden, reduce healthcare utilization, and facilitate PwD to age in place. HiDO is being developed as an automated, AI driven medication dispensing and direct observation platform to optimize adherence. The device integrates medication dispensing, dose administration time, medication synchronization, \& pair of front-facing cameras to validate the right meds, right route, right time, right dosage to the right patient (5R's). Cameras record every dose using facial recognition \& provide real -time medication consumption recordings. Through cloud connectivity, providers \& caregivers have access to video observation logs, dose administration time, adherence trends, \& longitudinal adherence via web dashboard. Patients \& caregivers can easily setup complex medication protocols in minutes using a smartphone app. The device then alerts patients and dispenses up to 7 different types of meds simultaneously, with up to 90 days of medication. Connected data sources including remote blood pressure and weight measurements, as well as electronic health record lab results and videoconferencing integrate in a single dashboard. The project will build on successful Phase I, in which the medication dispensing unit was updated with modifications for dementia, passed all bench testing, and was successfully validated in pilot usability with dementia subjects. Phase II will expand the foundation with four Aims: 1) Enhance device with remote sensors for diabetes management, expanded data integration, and video conferencing, 2) Test enhanced platform for usability in dementia subjects, 3) Transition the design to formal manufacturing process to ensure system meets performance standards and regulatory requirements \& produce pre-production devices for testing, \& 4) Conduct in-home clinical trial to demonstrate adherence and efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Alzheimer's Dementia clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Alzheimer's Dementia clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Alzheimer's Dementia trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Alzheimer's Dementia is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Alzheimer's Dementia medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Alzheimer's Dementia clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Non-Contact Sleep Monitor for Alzheimer's Disease, Prehabilitation Interventions for Surgery Patients and KarXT + KarX-EC for Alzheimer's Disease to the Power online platform.
