    Levetiracetam for Persons at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease (ALEVIATE-2)

    What is this Study about?

    The goal of this study is to investigate whether very small doses of a drug called levetiracetam (LEV) may reduce abnormal brain signaling in the brain in individuals who are at an increased risk for developing Alzheimer's Disease. Only participants who show the abnormal brain signaling on a functional MRI (fMRI) scan of the brain will be enrolled in the study. Enrolled participants will receive 4 weeks of treatment with LEV and 4 weeks of treatment with placebo (a sugar pill). The study involves cognitive testing, genetic testing, bloodwork, ECGs, questionnaires and several brain imaging scans.

    Eligibility Criteria

    • Are between 55-85 years of age

    • Have a parent or sibling with Alzheimer’s disease or with dementia that may be due to Alzheimer’s disease (even if not diagnosed as such)

    • Feel your memory is getting worse

    • Get normal scores on tests of thinking and memory (will be done as part of the study)

    • Are able to undergo brain MRI scans

    • Have a study partner (friend or family member) willing to answer questionnaires about you

    • Show increased brain signaling during the screening fMRI scan (Note: We anticipate that most people who sign up for the study will NOT show the increased brain activity levels required to qualify for the study treatment)

    A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of ML-007C-MA for the Treatment of Hallucinations and Delusions Associated with Alzheimer's Disease Psychosis

    What is this Study about?

    ML-007C-MA-221 is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ML-007C-MA in male and female participants aged 55 to 90 years with hallucinations and delusions associated with Alzheimer's Disease Psychosis (ADP).

    The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of ML-007C-MA compared with placebo for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with ADP as measured by the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Clinician (NPI-C): Hallucinations and Delusions (H+D) score.

    Eligibility Criteria

    Male or female participants aged 55 to 90 years of age
    Must have a study partner
    Presence of psychotic symptoms for at least 2 months before Screening.

    A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacodynamics of Intrathecally Administered ALN-APP in Patients With Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA)

    What is this Study about?

    The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of ALN-APP on measures of CAA disease progression and to characterize the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ALN-APP in adult patients with sporadic CAA (sCAA) and Dutch-type CAA (D-CAA). The study will be conducted over 2 periods: a 24-month double-blind treatment period and an optional 18-month open-label extension (OLE) period. The estimated duration of study participation, inclusive of screening, treatment, and additional safety follow-up, is up to 50 months.

    Eligibility Criteria

    Accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation to enhance cognitive function and balance in dementia

    What is this Study about?

    McMaster University is conducting a study on the effects of brain stimulation in individuals aged 50 and older with dementia or memory loss. The research focuses on using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a noninvasive technique that delivers magnetic pulses to the brain, to enhance cognitive function and balance. The goal is to extend the positive effects of brain stimulation in improving cognition and balance in individuals with dementia.

    Eligibility Criteria

    1.) Diagnosed with Dementia and/or memory loss by a clinician

    2.) Exhibit adequate oral communication skills and cognitive function

    3.) Walk or stand with or without personnel or assistive devices

    Assessing the Impact of Day programs on individuals living with Dementia and their family/friend Caregivers

    What is this Study about?

    This study explores how adult day programs affect the lives of people living with dementia and their caregivers across several Canadian regions. Over time, we gather information about health, well-being, daily experiences, and quality of life of people living with dementia who attend day program and their caregivers. We also aim to learn about day programs themselves, such as their activities, staffing, challenges, and successes. By combining surveys, interviews, and focus groups, our program of research aims to understand what makes day programs helpful, where challenges exist, and how day program can better support families, and people who use them.

    Eligibility Criteria

    You are eligible to participate if you:

    • Are an older adult living with dementia who attends or does not attend a day program

    • You are a family/friend caregiver of someone living with dementia who attends or does not attend a day program

    • Live in one of the participating regions (Ontario, Winnipeg MB, Calgary AB, or Interior BC)

    • Are able to take part in a conversation or complete surveys, with support if needed
