Memantine

Summary: This phase III trial compares the effect of stereotactic radiosurgery to standard of care memantine and whole brain radiation therapy that avoids the hippocampus (the memory zone of the brain) for the treatment of small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and...

Summary: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a commonly used treatment for brain tumors. It is a one-day (or in some cases two day), out-patient procedure during which a high dose of radiation is delivered to small spots in the brain while excluding the surrounding normal brain. Whole brain radiation therapy with hippocampal avoidance (HA-WBRT) is when radiation therapy is given to the whole brain, while tr...

Summary: The objective of this proposed study is to evaluate the effect and safety of acupuncture combined therapy on cognitive function, daily living ability and quality of life of Alzheimer's disease by using the international dementia certification scale. In this 12-week, assessor-blind, a Multi-center randomized, controlled study of acupuncture as additional treatment with Donepezil, a total of 180 pat...

Summary: The goal of this clinical study is to learn if the study drug DMB-I (INN: Latrepirdine) works to treat Alzheimer type dementia in adults. It will also learn about the safety of DMB-I (INN: Latrepirdine). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does DMB-I improve cognitive functions in patients with dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease, and how sigificant the improvement is? * What medi...

Summary: This research is being done to assess the quality of life and symptom burden in participants who receive (normal tissue sparing whole brain radiation therapy (NTS-WBRT). This research study involves: * NTS-WBRT (normal tissue sparing whole brain radiation therapy) * Memantine standard of care drug

Summary: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional risk state that occurs between the normal aging process and Alzheimer's dementia (AD). On average 32% of patients with MCI will progress to dementia, 62% will stay stable, and about 6% will return to normal cognition at subsequent visits. Current treatment for MCI includes cholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil, galantamine and rivastigmine), and NMD...

Summary: The purpose of this research is to see the effect of triplet therapy with atezolizumab, bevacizumab, and memantine in treatment of your hepatocellular carcinoma.

Summary: This study is a single-center, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT). Employing a parallel-group design, the trial plans to enroll 30 clinically diagnosed AD patients, who will be randomly assigned via a computerized randomization tool into three equal groups: low-dose, high-dose, and control (10 patients per group). The blinded clinical trial consists of three phas...

Summary: This is a single-site prospective study to describe efficacy endpoints of single agent memantine in patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic HCC otherwise not deemed candidates for intensive systemic therapy. In addition to the primary endpoint and multiple secondary efficacy endpoints, we will describe changes in quality of life on treatment over time.

Summary: The goal of the project is to evaluate whether donepezil + cognitive remediation therapy is superior to placebo in reducing heavy drinking in patients with alcohol use disorder in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Summary: People with Alzheimer's disease are at an increased risk of bone fracture. Some studies have shown that those taking donepezil have a lower rate of bone fractures, but the reasons for this are unknown. The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of donepezil treatment on bone metabolism factors including bone mineral density, bone turnover markers, and bone quality. Participants in this stu...

Summary: This randomized, placebo-controlled trial aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of memantine and the University of Carolina (UNC)'s Get Real \& Heel cancer exercise program (MEM+EX) in addressing cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) and underlying CRCI biomarkers. Ninety stage I-III breast cancer patients with mild cognitive difficulties during chemotherapy ...
