BMS-984923 for Drug Interaction
West Bend, Wisconsin
The goal of this study is to learn if the investigational drug, BMS-984923 will impact the exposure and clearance of other medications when given together. Most drugs are broken down and cleared in the body via cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver. The metabolism and clearance of certain drugs can be affected by other drugs when dosed together. To evaluate the impact of BMS-984923 on the clearance of other medications, we will investigate three known pathways which may be impacted by BMS-984923.
In this study participants will take one dose of the three known medications, midazolam, caffeine and dextromethorphan together. These drugs are known to be cleared by different cytochrome P450 enzymes. Blood will be collected to evaluate the exposure and clearance of these medications and their primary metabolites. Study participants will then be administered BMS-984923 for 18-days. On the 18th Day of BMS-984923 dosing, participants will again be co-administering midazolam, caffeine and dextromethorphan. Blood will be collected again, and the concentration of each drug will be measured. We will learn in this study if BMS-984923 changes the exposure and metabolism of the known drugs. These results will inform how BMS-984923 can be administered to patients who take multiple medications.

Why Other Patients Applied
"I watched my mother suffer through years of Alzheimer's Disease and I want to help advance the science for treating AD. I don't want anyone else to have go through what our family went through."
OF
Alzheimer's Disease PatientAge: 65
"I have a very strong family history of Alzheimer’s, with my maternal grandmother, mother, uncle, and sister having the disease. My APOE status is 2/4. My memory is going, although 6 months ago I tested decently on some cognitive tests. I'd like to help myself by getting ahead of my condition and help others in a similar situation by participating in medical research."
EK
Mild Cognitive Impairment PatientAge: 72
"I watched my mother die from Parkinson’s. At the time of her death, she weighed 85 pounds and could not move any muscles voluntarily except her eyelids. I would like to participate in a trial to help find a better treatment for PD than what is currently available. It is a devastating illness. It breaks my heart that other families will have to go through this."
WU
Healthy Volunteer PatientAge: 76
"I'm so used to losing things, forgetting things, making up to acronyms to remember things only to remember the acromym but not what the letters stand for... I enter a new room to look for an item, only to forget what I was looking for. I've discussed the existing treatments with my neurologist and she's on board with my joining a clinical trial."
AH
Dementia PatientAge: 64
"I have been on standard Alzheimer's medication for a few years but know this treatment only works to delay my cognitive deterioration, not improve it. I've been doing research, which brought me here, to consider some of the latest research drugs. While I know that there's no guarantee that a clinical trial improves my condition, I'd like to give one a try and help further the research for all."

Caregiver Support for Dementia
Chicago, Illinois
Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) is the second most common form of degenerative dementia, affecting at least 2.4 million US adults, and the overwhelming majority of persons living with LBD (PLBD) are cared for by family caregivers. LBD caregiver strain: 1) exceeds that of non-LBD dementia caregivers; 2) worsens caregiver physical and mental health; and 3) increases the risk of PLBD hospitalization and institutionalization. LBD progression is complicated by combined motor, cognitive, and neuropsychiatric decline, and is punctuated by falls, infections, dehydration, and neuropsychiatric symptoms leading to acute healthcare utilization. Although family caregivers are uniquely positioned to identify and manage these challenges, which may avert emergency department visits and reduce morbidity, many caregivers lack the knowledge, skills, confidence, resources, and support to do so.
The study team aims to 1) quantify the impact of PERSEVERE on caregiver knowledge, attitudes, mastery, and strain; 2) identify the intervention and mentor factors determining implementation fidelity; and 3) test the effects of PERSEVERE on PLBD quality of life and healthcare utilization. This will be accomplished in an NIH Behavioral Model Stage II national, randomized, attention-controlled, 12-week trial of PERSEVERE in 502 LBD caregivers in partnership with the Lewy Body Dementia Association, Parkinson's Foundation, and LBD Caregiver Advisors. The study team will match intervention arm caregivers with a trained peer mentor who will coach them through a modular, theory-based curriculum on LBD knowledge and social support. Attention-control participants will receive weekly, curated links to educational materials. The study team will identify immediate and delayed intervention effects, including mediators of strain at 12 weeks, and caregiver strain and PLBD outcomes at nine months. Implementation fidelity and PLBD healthcare utilization will be tracked biweekly. Qualitative methods will explore the intervention- and mentor-specific factors predicting fidelity, mentee outcomes, and retention. Remote recruitment, mentoring, and community engagement strategies will maximize accessibility and inclusion of underrepresented caregiver groups. Results will illuminate the extent to which leveraging prior LBD caregivers as expert interventionists can improve current caregiver outcomes, and in turn, PLBD outcomes. These results will inform future adaptation and dissemination of this model for other conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Alzheimer's Disease clinical trials in Chicago, IL 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 Disease clinical trials in Chicago, IL 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 Disease trials in Chicago, IL 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 in Chicago, IL for Alzheimer's Disease 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 in Chicago, IL 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 Disease medical study in Chicago, IL?
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 Disease clinical trials in Chicago, IL?
Most recently, we added KarXT + KarX-EC for Alzheimer's Disease, KarXT + KarX-EC for Alzheimer's Disease and Online Program for Dementia Caregiver Burden to the Power online platform.
