Baltimore, Maryland
Nearly 2 out of 3 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) experience problems with balance and mobility, which places such patients at increased risk of falling. The vestibular (inner ear balance) system plays an important role in balance stability, and vestibular therapy (VT) is well-known to improve balance function in healthy older adults. In this study, the investigators will conduct a first-in-kind randomized clinical trial to evaluate whether vestibular therapy improves reduces falls in patients with AD, in whom this treatment has never been studied.

Why Other Patients Applied
"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."
VL
Alzheimer's PatientAge: 71

PET Imaging for Alzheimer's Disease
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
About 5 million adults in the United States have age-related brain disorders. These include Alzheimer disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and other dementias. The number of people with these disorders will likely increase as the population ages and life span increases. Inflammation is thought to play a role in AD and MCI. Researchers want to know if an enzyme called PDE4B increases inflammation in people with AD or MCI.
Objective:
To test whether medical imaging using a new radiotracer (\[18F\]PF-06445974) can measure PDE4B in the brains of people with AD or MCI.
Eligibility:
People aged 50 years and older with AD or MCI. Healthy volunteers are also needed.
Design:
Participants will have up to 5 clinic visits with 3 imaging scans of the brain.
They will have be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. This will include tests of their heart and nerve function, including memory.
Participants will have 2 positron emission tomography (PET) scans. One will use a standard radiotracer. The other will use the study radiotracer. They will receive each tracer through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein. During the scan with the study tracer, participants will have a second tube inserted into a vein in the wrist; this tube will be used to draw blood during the scan. Participants will lie on a bed that slides into a doughnut-shaped machine. These visits will take about 6 hours each.
Participants will have 1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. They will lie on a bed that slides into a cylinder. This visit will take up to 2 hours....

Pharmacist-led Deprescribing for Alzheimer's Disease
Baltimore, Maryland
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a pharmacist-led, primary care-based de-prescribing intervention for people living with dementia (PLWD) and the person's care partners.
The intervention consists of the following strategies: 1) a de-prescribing educational brochure designed to activate the patient and care partner; 2) a single telehealth visit in which an embedded clinical pharmacist discusses the benefits and harms of the patient's medications with the patient and care partner in the context of the person's goals and preferences; and 3) pharmacist-PCP communication in which the pharmacist provides tailored de-prescribing recommendations designed to be useful and actionable for the PCP.
The investigators will compare the intervention group with the waitlist control group to see if there is a difference in the primary outcome, the proportion of patients who deprescribe at least one medication by 3 months.

Acoramidis for Amyloidosis
Falls Church, Virginia
Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a disease where the normally occurring transthyretin (TTR) protein falls apart and forms amyloid, a sticky plaque- like substance that accumulates in different organs in the body and can cause damage to the organ. There are two ways that the TTR protein can fall apart. One way occurs as a person ages, where the normal TTR protein can fall apart and form amyloid that may no longer be sufficiently cleared by the body. This type of ATTR is known as wild-type ATTR (ATTRwt). The other way occurs when a person inherits a defective TTR gene that causes the TTR protein to spontaneously fall apart. This form of the disease is known as variant ATTR (ATTRv) and can be detected in adults by a genetic test of their TTR gene before they age.
Amyloid build-up in the heart causes the heart wall to become thick and stiff and can result in heart failure and even death. Accumulation of TTR amyloid in the heart is known as transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy or ATTR-CM. Amyloid can also deposit in the nerve tissues leading to nerve problems. Accumulation of TTR in the nerves is known as transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy or ATTR-PN.
Acoramidis is an experimental drug designed to bind tightly to TTR in the blood and stabilize its structure, so it does not form the harmful amyloid plaques that can cause damage to organs.
This study is intended to determine if treatment with acoramidis in participants with ATTRv who have not yet developed any symptoms of disease can prevent or delay the development of ATTR-CM or ATTR-PN disease. If adults with an inherited defective TTR gene are treated early before any of the symptoms of disease have developed, it may be possible to delay the onset or prevent the disease entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Alzheimer's Disease clinical trials in Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland?
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 Maryland?
Most recently, we added KarXT + KarX-EC for Alzheimer's Disease, PET Imaging for Alzheimer's Disease and Trontinemab for Alzheimer's Disease to the Power online platform.
