TKIs for Dementia
Santa Monica, CaliforniaThe present study is designed as an open label study of patients with mild cognitive impairment or dementia to evaluate longer term tolerability and potential efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Baseline and outcome measures in this study utilize validated tests that are appropriate for repeated measures which are not affected by practice effects. Advantages of this study include the fact that the neuropsychological testing instruments and advanced MRI imaging protocols that have been in routine clinical deployment provide for a high degree of availability and reliability for diagnosis and for monitoring change of status. Quality assurance is tightly controlled. The study population is sufficiently broad and the conditions of interest are sufficiently prevalent so that recruitment of the projected numbers of subjects is not a limiting factor.
For a Phase I trial there is a proposed 150 patient sample to determine the frequency of common side effects in the population that is being studied. Subjects will be administered the initial dose of bosutinib, with dosage progressively increased over the course of the study. The initial dose of bosutinib is 100 mg tablet, once per day. The dose will be increased as tolerated up to 300 mg per day.
All subjects will be started at 100 mg/day and the dose will be increased by 100 mg each month if the lower dose is tolerated without significant side effects. That is to say, the subject will take 100 mg/day every day for the first month, 200 mg/day every day for the second month, and 300 mg/day every day for the third month and for the remainder of the study, provided that adverse reactions do not prohibit continuation at this dosage. The investigators will be using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 to monitor, evaluate, and report adverse reactions on an ongoing basis. Stopping and dose reduction rules for reported adverse reactions have been taken from the package insert of bosutinib.

Tele-Exergaming for Mild Cognitive Impairment
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAs our population ages, more older adults face motor-cognitive declines, increasing their risk of falls and fear of falling. Exercise is an effective way to maintain cognitive function, as supported by recent studies. However, those with poor motor and cognitive abilities often struggle to visit rehabilitation centers, leading to high dropout rates and low adherence to unsupervised programs. A remote exercise program tailored for individuals with cognitive impairments is urgently needed to preserve cognitive function, promote independent living, and reduce related costs. Researchers aim to develop an in-home system for adults with mild cognitive issues or dementia, designed to improve balance and cognition while being remotely supervised through telemedicine.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Dementia clinical trials in Los Angeles, CA 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 Los Angeles, CA 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 Los Angeles, CA 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 Los Angeles, CA 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 Los Angeles, CA 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 Los Angeles, CA ?
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 Los Angeles, CA ?
Most recently, we added CarePair for Dementia Caregivers, Lifestyle Intervention for Dementia Prevention and Spanish-Language Program for Dementia Caregiver Burden to the Power online platform.
