Inflammation as a central mechanism in Alzheimer's disease Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 575-590 - 2018
Jefferson W. Kinney, Shane M. Bemiller, Andrew S. Murtishaw, Amanda M. Leisgang, Arnold Salazar, Bruce T. Lamb
AbstractAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder
that is characterized by cognitive decline and the presence of two core
pathologies, amyloid β plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Over the last
decade, the presence of a sustained immune response in the brain has emerged as
a third core pathology in AD. The sustained activation of the brain's resident
macrophages (micro... hiện toàn bộ
Alzheimer's disease drug development pipeline: 2018 Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 195-214 - 2018
Jeffrey L. Cummings, Garam Lee, Aaron Ritter, Kate Zhong
AbstractIntroductionTreatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are needed due to
the growing number of individuals with preclinical, prodromal, and dementia
forms of AD. Drug development for AD therapies can be examined by inspecting the
drug development pipeline as represented on
clinicaltrials.gov.MethodsClinicaltrials.gov was assessed as of January 30, 2018
to determine AD therapies represented in... hiện toàn bộ
Alzheimer's disease drug development pipeline: 2017 Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 367-384 - 2017
Jeffrey L. Cummings, Garam Lee, Travis Mortsdorf, Aaron Ritter, Kate Zhong
AbstractIntroductionThere is an urgent need to develop new treatments for
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to understand the drug development process for new
AD therapies.MethodsWe assessed the agents in the AD pipeline as documented in
clinicaltrials.gov for phase I, phase II, and phase III, accessed
1/5/2017.ResultsThere are 105 agents in the AD treatment development pipeline,
of which 25 agents are... hiện toàn bộ
Sedentary behavior as a risk factor for cognitive decline? A focus on the influence of glycemic control in brain health Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 291-300 - 2017
Michael J. Wheeler, Paddy C. Dempsey, Megan S. Grace, Kathryn A. Ellis, Paul A. Gardiner, Daniel J. Green, David W. Dunstan
AbstractCognitive decline leading to dementia represents a global health burden.
In the absence of targeted pharmacotherapy, lifestyle approaches remain the best
option for slowing the onset of dementia. However, older adults spend very
little time doing moderate to vigorous exercise and spend a majority of time in
sedentary behavior. Sedentary behavior has been linked to poor glycemic control
and... hiện toàn bộ
Amyloid‐associated increases in longitudinal report of subjective cognitive complaints Tập 4 - Trang 444-449 - 2018
Rebecca E. Amariglio, Rachel F. Buckley, Elizabeth C. Mormino, Gad A. Marshall, Keith A. Johnson, Dorene M. Rentz, Reisa A. Sperling
AbstractIntroductionTo investigate whether baseline subjective cognitive
complaints (SCCs) predict longitudinal decline on neuropsychological testing and
whether SCC increases longitudinally, in the setting of high levels of amyloid
burden.MethodsTwo hundred seventy‐nine clinically normal older participants
(mean age = 73.7 ± 6.1 years) from the Harvard Aging Brain Study, a cohort of

Accelerating drug development for Alzheimer's disease through the use of data standards Tập 3 - Trang 273-283 - 2017
Jon Neville, Steve Kopko, Klaus Romero, Brian Corrigan, Bob Stafford, Elizabeth LeRoy, Steve Broadbent, Martin Cisneroz, Ethan Wilson, Eric Reiman, Hugo Vanderstichele, Stephen P. Arnerić, Diane Stephenson
AbstractIntroductionThe exceedingly high rate of failed trials in Alzheimer's
disease (AD) calls for immediate attention to improve efficiencies and learning
from past, ongoing, and future trials. Accurate, highly rigorous standardized
data are at the core of meaningful scientific research. Data standards allow for
proper integration of clinical data sets and represent the essential foundation
for... hiện toàn bộ
Considerations for the assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior in older adults with cognitive decline and dementia Tập 2 - Trang 48-59 - 2016
Larry Alphs, H. Robert Brashear, Phillip Chappell, Yeates Conwell, Sarah Dubrava, Ni A. Khin, Nicholas Kozauer, Dean M. Hartley, David S. Miller, Rachel J. Schindler, Eric R. Siemers, Michelle Stewart, Kristine Yaffe
AbstractIntroductionBetter understanding of suicide risk and its management in
older adults with cognitive impairment and/or dementia remain significant unmet
public health needs. Urgency to address them derives from concern that CNS
treatments for dementia may impact suicide risk. Regulatory guidances requiring
assessment of emergent suicidal ideation and behavior (SI/SB) at every clinical
trial ... hiện toàn bộ
A phase 1 study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of PQ912, a glutaminyl cyclase inhibitor, in healthy subjects Tập 1 - Trang 182-195 - 2015
Inge Lues, Frank Weber, Antje Meyer, Uli Bühring, Torsten Hoffmann, Kerstin Kühn-Wache, Susanne Manhart, Ulrich Heiser, Rolf Pokorny, Joseph Chiesa, Konrad Glund
AbstractIntroductionPyroglutamate‐amyloid‐β (pE‐Aβ) peptides are major
components of Aβ‐oligomers and Aβ‐plaques, which are regarded as key culprits of
Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. PQ912 is a competitive inhibitor of the
enzyme glutaminyl cyclase (QC), essential for the formation of pE‐Aβ
peptides.MethodsA randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, single‐ and
multiple‐ascending oral dos... hiện toàn bộ
Key factors for the assessment of mobility in advanced dementia: A consensus approach Tập 5 - Trang 409-419 - 2019
Karen Van Ooteghem, Kristin E. Musselman, Avril Mansfield, David Gold, Meghan N. Marcil, Ron Keren, Maria Carmela Tartaglia, Alastair J. Flint, Andrea Iaboni
AbstractIntroductionLoss of mobility is common in advanced dementia and has
important negative consequences related to fall risk, loss of independence, and
lack of participation in meaningful activities. The causes of decline are
multifactorial, including disease‐specific changes in motor function, behavior,
and cognition. To optimize clinical management of mobility, there is a need to
better char... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of need and practice for assistive technology and telecare for people with dementia—The ATTILA (Assistive Technology and Telecare to maintain Independent Living At home for people with dementia) trial Tập 5 - Trang 420-430 - 2019
