Remternetug for Alzheimer's Disease
Birmingham, AlabamaThe purpose of this research study is to test the study drug, referred to as remternetug, to determine its effectiveness for the study treatment of asymptomatic (at risk) Alzheimer disease in individuals with AD-causing mutations. This study will also investigate the effects of remternetug on biomarkers (measures of the disease including brain scans, blood and spinal fluid tests), examine safety data to identify any potential benefits or risks, and examine how well participants can tolerate remternetug.
Stage 1 will determine if treatment with the study drug prevents or reverses amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation compared with placebo in participants with dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD).
Stage 2 will evaluate the effect of early anti-amyloid treatment on downstream biomarkers of AD in treated participants compared to external control groups.

Gantenerumab for Alzheimer's Disease
Birmingham, AlabamaThe purpose is to evaluate the biomarker effect, safety, and tolerability of investigational study drugs in participants who are known to have an Alzheimer's disease (AD)-causing mutation.

Health Information Technology for Dementia Care
Birmingham, AlabamaAlzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are leading causes of disability and often result in communication deficits of the person with dementia (PWD) that can complicate ADRD caregiving and clinical care. The research team will work with stakeholders to develop and design a personalized Assistive and Alternative Communication (AAC) device that relies on information technology (IT) and touchscreens to promote communication and personhood for PWD about their care preferences and experiences. This study will integrate the AAC into an existing health IT intervention that already facilitates clinical communication between caregivers and providers of PWD. A clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate outcomes of 58 dyads (PWD/caregivers) and their health care provider utilizing the My PATI (My Person Assisted Touchscreen Interface)intervention as an adjunct to care and care giving for 6 months.

Montessori-Based Interventions for Dementia
Tuscaloosa, AlabamaBackground: Addressing behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms of Veterans with dementia and serious mental illness (SMI) such as schizophrenia can be challenging for staff in VA long-term care settings, called Community Living Centers or CLCs. These behaviors of distress (agitation, aggression, and mood disturbance) are not just associated with staff stress and burnout; they also hasten residents' functional decline, decrease quality of life, and increase mortality. Staff training in non-pharmacological interventions can be effective. Yet systems barriers, task-based care models, and time constraints often result in staff employing "quicker," less effective strategies. Montessori Approaches to Person-Centered Care for VA (MAP-VA)- a staff training, intervention, and delivery toolkit- developed in collaboration with VA operational partners, Veterans, and frontline CLC staff is positioned to respond to this challenge. The investigators' prior work shows probable impacts on CLC quality indicators at the individual and unit level (e.g., psychotropic medications, depressive symptoms, weight loss, falls, pain). The goal of this study is to evaluate the MAP-VA program and necessary supports for a successful implementation at 8 VA CLCs.
Significance/ Innovation: VHA's Modernization Plan focuses on empowering front-line staff to lead quality improvement efforts like the ones taught through MAP-VA. MAP-VA is distinct from existing interventions in its: 1) application to Veterans with a range of diagnoses and cognitive abilities; 2) emphasis on pairing practical skill-building for staff with overcoming system-level barriers that inhibit person-centered care; and 3) engagement of all staff rather than a reliance on provider-level champions. Yet, MAP-VA is a complex intervention that requires participation of multiple stakeholder groups, making implementation facilitation necessary. To date, no studies have evaluated MAP implementation success in operational settings (community or VA) and sustainability is rarely examined.
Aims: This 4-year study will examine both the effectiveness of the MAP-VA program on resident outcomes, person-centered care practices, and organizational culture as well as an evaluation of the implementation barriers to adopting MAP-VA in a sustainable way over a 12 month period. Staff and residents at 8 CLCs will participate in the study.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Dementia clinical trials in Birmingham, AL 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 Dementia clinical trials in Birmingham, AL 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 Dementia trials in Birmingham, AL 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 Birmingham, AL for Dementia 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 Birmingham, AL 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 Dementia medical study in Birmingham, AL ?
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 Dementia clinical trials in Birmingham, AL ?
Most recently, we added Health Information Technology for Dementia Care, Remternetug for Alzheimer's Disease and Gantenerumab for Alzheimer's Disease to the Power online platform.
