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.

Brain Death Education Survey

The purpose of this project is to create and distribute a survey with the intent to collect data about the amount and quality of training critical care physicians receive regarding brain death (i.e., death by neurologic criteria). We are doing because teaching physicians about brain death is not standardized and the subject is complex.

Lumosa Therapeutibs BRIGHT AIS trial

This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new intravenous (IV) medication (LT3001) for adult patients who have had a stroke. This new medication is designed to restore blood flow to the area of the brain affected, and reduce inflammation in the brain. Patients who agree to be in this study will receive 6 doses of the IV study drug while in the hospital. Patients will have extra labs drawn, head imaging studies and will be followed by the study team for 90 days after their hospital admission.

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.
