DLB Consortium

Do you have probable Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), Mild Cognitive Impairment with "high likelihood" DLB, or Parkinson's Disease Dementia (PDD)? You may be able to participate in an observational study to track your disease progression and promote future research.

Cerebral spinal fluid collection of Normal Pressure Hydrocephaly for Alzheimer's disease research

We are collecting cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from Normal Pressure Hydrocephaly (NPH) patients to generate a biosample research repository. This repository will be used to research CSF biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease that may enhance our ability to detect and monitor Alzheimer's disease diagnoses and progression.

Anticoagulation in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Survivors for Stroke Prevention and Recovery (ASPIRE)

The ASPIRE trial aims to study anticoagulant medications in patients who have had an intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) who also have atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeats). Participants who agree to study participation will receive either Aspirin or Apixaban and followed for 12-36 months to see if they have any other strokes, and follow their general recovery after stroke.

Statins Use in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients

This is a study being conducted at many sites across the US to evaluate patients who are older than 50 years old, who have sudden bleeding in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage) while taking a statin medication. It is unclear if continuing to take a statin medication after this type of injury can increase the risk of another hemorrhage, stroke or cardiac event. This study will assign patients to 1 of 2 groups. One group will continue the statin medication they were taking previously. The other group will discontinue the statin medication. Both groups will be followed for 2 years to see if they have any additional medical events.

Advancing Research and Treatment Longitudinal Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration study (ALLFTD)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate both sporadic (not inherited), and familial (inherited), forms of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Patients include both those who have symptoms of FTLD and those who do not (yet have a family history involving FTLD). This is an observational study, meaning that there is no investigational treatment involved. We will be working with patients for up to a 5 year period to learn more about FTLD using a neurological exam, tests of memory, behavior, and judgement, MRI, and biospecimen collection (blood and/or CSF). This study involves genetic testing of the genes so far identified to be associated with FTLD. The overall goal is to help better understand FTLD, to better understand the genetics of FTLD, and to use the information we learn to guide improved patient care and potential drug development.

Registry of Patients with AQP4+ NMOSD Treated with Alexion C5 Inhibitor Therapies

This clinical trial aims to understand how well ALXN-C5IT works over a long time. We want to see if it can prevent relapses and help with disability, walking, and vision. We also want to know how patients feel about their health while using ALXN-C5IT.

Alzheimer's Network for Treatment and Diagnostics

This study will gather information about patients who are taking new medicines for Alzheimer's disease. We'll keep an eye on how these patients are doing in the long run, tracking things like how they're responding to treatment, what their overall health outcomes are like, and how safe these new treatments really are when used in the real world. The goal of this study is to get a better understanding of how these therapies actually work for a diverse group of people, not just the people who usually participate in clinical trials.
