Home-Based Closed-Loop Auditory Stimulation to Enhance Slow-Wave Activity in MCI Due to Alzheimer's Disease: A Proof-of-Concept Study

This proof-of-concept study explores whether long-term home-based closed-loop auditory stimulation during sleep enhances slow-wave activity (SWA) and yields preliminary efficacy signals in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (MCI-AD), confirmed by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers or positron emission tomography (PET). The intervention is self-administered at participants' homes over an initial treatment period of 3 months, followed by a 1-month off-treatment (washout) period. Participants may then enter an optional extension phase consisting of 3 additional months of treatment followed by a second 1-month washout period, for a total study duration of up to 8 months. Participants who complete the Nana-Lab Study (NCT07402590) may be invited to provide informed consent for screening and potential enrollment in this study. All enrolled participants receive nightly active treatment during intervention periods. This study does not include randomization or a sham control group.

Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Lecanemab in Alzheimer's Disease Through Multi-omics Approachs

This research proposal outlines a multi-center, randomized, trial. Patients diagnosed with early-to-moderate Alzheimer's Disease will be recruited. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Lecanemab. The study will run over a period of 24 months, with evaluations conducted at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months, 18 months and 24 months. Data from multiple omics layers will be integrated to assess both the efficacy and safety of the treatment. The primary aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Lecanemab in patients with Alzheimer's Disease, leveraging multi-omics approaches. Specifically, the study will integrate data from OCT/OCTA imaging of the eye and MRI imaging of the brain, as well as cognitive measures such as ADAS-Cog, MoCA and CDR scores. Furthermore, the presence of ARIA-a significant safety concern in amyloid-targeting therapies-will be closely monitored. The study seeks to provide a more robust understanding of Lecanemab's impact on disease progression, cognition, and potential adverse effects, contributing to a more informed clinical application of this treatment in Alzheimer's care.

Efficacy of Lecanemab at Different Therapeutic Doses for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in Real-World Practice

This study will analyze the clinical indicators, imaging data, and serum biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients receiving different doses of the medication before and after treatment. It aims to clarify whether the therapeutic efficacy in the low-dose group is equivalent to that in the recommended-dose group, and meanwhile to determine the optimal dose range for effective pharmacotherapy.

Efficacy and Safety of Dimethyl Fumarate Among Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia Due to Alzheimer's Disease

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the degree of improvement in cognitive functions, including memory, attention, thinking, executive and language functions in diagnosed patients MCI and AD taking dimethyl fumarate 480 mg daily compared to patients taking placebo. Participant will be 55 to 90 years old, both genders. The main question it aims to answer is: Changing the degree of cognitive improvement based on the RBANS score among patients diagnosed with MCI and AD after completing dimethyl fumarate therapy test group compared to the placebo group.

A Diagnostic Test for Dementia With Lewy Bodies

The Syn-D Study will be evaluating α-synuclein in patients with suspected MCI-AD and MCI-DLB. Using a simple diagnostic test will improve clinical accuracy in diagnosing, earlier diagnosis, and distinguish between neurodegenerative diseases.
