Daridorexant for Delirium

Rochester, New York
The goal of this follow-on pilot randomized clinical trial is to obtain additional preliminary data to inform a larger, adequately powered phase 2b trial of daridorexant for the prevention of postoperative delirium after heart surgery. Having demonstrated feasibility in a prior study (RSRB #9841), this study aims to estimate the effect of daridorexant on (1) reducing delirium symptom burden and incidence and (2) improving sleep quality during the postoperative period, and (3) to assess the feasibility of collecting audiovisual data before surgery for natural language processing as a potential biomarker of delirium risk. Participants will: (1) complete a baseline visit; (2) provide a short preoperative audiovisual recording; (3) take the study drug, either daridorexant or placebo, each of the first three nights after heart surgery; and (4) be evaluated daily for sleep and delirium during the first three postoperative days.

The goal of this phase 2 clinical trial is to demonstrate the feasibility of the current study methods and obtain preliminary data for an adequately powered trial of daridorexant with the aim of preventing delirium after heart surgery. The main aims this feasibility trial aims to answer are to demonstrate: (1) the feasibility of study recruitment; (2) the ability deliver study compounds to subjects according to the proposed methods; and (3) completeness of data capture; and (4) recording of potential adverse events. Participants will: (1) complete a baseline visit; (2) take the study drug--either daridorexant or placebo--each of the first 3 nights after heart surgery; and (3) be evaluated for sleep and delirium each of the first three days after heart surgery.

Why Other Patients Applied

"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."

Alzheimer's PatientAge: 71

"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."

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Alzheimer's Disease clinical trials in Syracuse, NY 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 Syracuse, NY 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 Syracuse, NY 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 Syracuse, NY 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 Syracuse, NY 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 Syracuse, NY?

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 Syracuse, NY?
