Charlottesville, Virginia
People with Parkinson's disease often experience problems with 'gait' and balance. Gait refers to the way a person moves while walking, such as their speed and length of steps. People with Parkinson's may experience slowness of movement, shuffle their feet, or have periods of 'freezing', during which their feet feel like they are stuck to the floor. Some people may struggle to maintain their balance and fall. These symptoms are frequently disabling and can lead to a worse quality of life. The nervous system is your body's messaging system - it helps different parts of your body communicate with one another. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that deliver those messages from one part of the body to another. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of ARICEPT (Donepezil hydrochloride) improves gait and balance and its relation to the size of an area of the brain called "Cholinergic Nucleus 4" (Ch4). The study team is also studying how degeneration (breakdown and eventual loss) in Ch4 contributes to problems with gait and balance. One way this may happen is through the loss of a chemical in the brain called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter and its activity is associated with alertness, thinking, and the ability to move. Taking a drug that increases acetylcholine, such as ARICEPT, may improve gait and balance. By better understanding this relationship, we may be able to improve the treatment of gait and balance problems in the future.

Donepezil for Hearing Loss
Nashville, Tennessee
This trial tests whether donepezil can help adult cochlear implant users improve their hearing and cognitive functions. Donepezil boosts brain chemicals important for memory and learning, which may help the brain better process sounds from the implant. The study aims to see if this leads to better speech recognition and cognitive outcomes.

Donepezil for Alzheimer's Effects on Bone Metabolism
Durham, North Carolina
People with Alzheimer's disease are at an increased risk of bone fracture. Some studies have shown that those taking donepezil have a lower rate of bone fractures, but the reasons for this are unknown. The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of donepezil treatment on bone metabolism factors including bone mineral density, bone turnover markers, and bone quality.
Participants in this study will have a bone density test and have blood samples collected at the baseline study visit. Participants will then be randomly assigned to donepezil or matching placebo to be taken daily by mouth for 12 months. Blood samples will be collected at 6 and 12 months. A repeat bone density test will be performed at 12 months. Participants will also complete questionnaires at each study visit.

Why Other Patients Applied
I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me.

I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new.

Donepezil for Anorexia
New York, New York
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and tolerability of donepezil in a small group of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). Study participants will be receiving care at the New York State Psychiatric Institute Eating Disorders Unit. Study medication will be increased from 1 mg per day to a maximum of 5 mg per day for up to 8 weeks. Participants will be closely monitored for side effects by a research psychiatrist every week, in addition to the regular clinical monitoring they receive during inpatient treatment. The study will also include assessments of habit strength to measure any changes in maladaptive eating habits over the course of the treatment.

Donepezil for Dementia
San Antonio, Texas
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate potential improvements in clinical trial methods relating to dementia and cognitive decline. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Can an intervention's outcome be better assessed by a latent variable ("δ") integrating cognitive performance with functional status?
* Can latent biomarkers of δ guide the selection of an intervention that will modulate dementia severity?
* Can a latent variable, derived from information collected remotely from caregivers, preselect subjects most likely to respond to the intervention?
* Is the effect of the intervention in fact medicated by changes in the targeted biomarker?
In this case, the biomarker will be a latent variable derived from several proteins measured in blood (i.e., so-called "adipokines"). The intervention will be donepezil, a medication approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease, but only recently associated with adipokine changes.
Participants with cognitive impairment and their caregivers will be interviewed by telephone and those newly prescribed donepezil by their provider for cognitive impairment will be recruited and enrolled. On the basis of the caregiver's report, the cognitively impaired subjects will be assigned to two groups based on a prediction of their response to donepezil. Researchers will compare those groups to see if dementia severity, as measured by δ, improves in predicted responders, and whether the change in the d-score is mediated by changes in adipokines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do 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 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 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 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 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 clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Donepezil for Anorexia, Donepezil for Alzheimer's Effects on Bone Metabolism and Donepezil for Parkinson's Disease to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
