LY3954068 for Alzheimer's Disease

Durham, North Carolina
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of LY3954068 in participants with early symptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The study will also investigate how much LY3954068 gets into the bloodstream and will test the effects of LY3954068 on markers of AD. The study will be comprised of two parts, A and B. Part B is optional, and participants from Part A may also have the opportunity to join an optional bridging period to a separate potential study where participants would receive LY3954068. Each enrolled participant in Part A will receive a single dose of LY3954068 or placebo (no active drug) given into the spinal fluid. If conducted, each participant in Part B would receive 2 doses of either LY3954068 or placebo administered into the spinal fluid. The study will last up to approximately 45 weeks for Part A, and, if conducted, 73 weeks for Part B, including the screening period. If the optional bridging period is conducted, participants in Part A could be enrolled in the separate potential study for up to approximately 96 weeks, including the screening period.

BIIB080 for Alzheimer's Disease

Durham, North Carolina
In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called BIIB080. The study will focus on participants with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to AD. The main question researchers are trying to answer is if BIIB080 can slow the worsening of AD more than placebo. It will focus on what dose of BIIB080 slows worsening of AD the most. To help answer this question, researchers will use the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes, also known as the CDR-SB. * Clinicians use the CDR-SB to measure several categories of dementia symptoms. * The results for each category are added together for a total score. Lower scores are better. Researchers will also learn more about the safety of BIIB080. The study will be split into 2 parts. The 1st part is the Placebo-Controlled Period. The 2nd part is the Long-Term Extension (LTE) Period. The 2nd part of the study will help researchers learn about the long-term safety of BIIB080, and how it affects the participant's daily life, thinking, and memory abilities in the longer term. A description of how the study will be done is given below. * After screening, participants will first receive either a low dose or high dose of BIIB080, or a placebo, as an injection into the fluid around the spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid). A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no real medicine. * Participants will receive BIIB080 or placebo once every 12 weeks or 24 weeks. * After 76 weeks of treatment in the Placebo-Controlled Period, eligible participants will move onto the Extension Treatment period, which will last 96 weeks. * In the extension period, participants who received placebo will be switched to high dose BIIB080 every 12 or 24 weeks. * Participants may be in the study for up to 201 weeks, or about 4 years. This includes the screening and follow-up periods. * Participants can continue to take certain medications for AD. Participants must be on the same dose of medication for at least 8 weeks before the screening period. * After the screening period, most participants will visit the clinic every 6 weeks.

Millions of Americans have late-stage Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD), causing suffering due to loss of awareness of self and family, progressive dependency, physical and neuropsychiatric symptoms, and physical, emotional and financial strain for caregivers. Investigators now propose a multi-site randomized clinical trial of the ADRD Palliative Care (ADRD-PC) program for persons with late-stage ADRD and their family caregivers, triggered during hospitalization. Investigators aim to learn if this program of dementia-specific palliative care, standardized caregiver education, and transitional care is effective to reduce burdensome hospital transfers, improve symptom treatment and control, augment supportive services, and reduce nursing home transitions for patients, and to improve caregiver outcomes of communication, shared decision-making and distress.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Alzheimer's Disease clinical trials in Raleigh, NC 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 Raleigh, NC 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 Raleigh, NC 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 Raleigh, NC 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 Raleigh, NC 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 Raleigh, NC ?

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 Raleigh, NC ?

Most recently, we added Connect-Home for Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia, Histidine Supplementation for Alzheimer's Disease and Advance Care Planning for Alzheimer's and Dementia to the Power online platform.
