Trial Title and Description: Effect of Testosterone Therapy in Men With Mild Alzheimer's Disease and Low Testosterone-

Treatment with testosterone can improve performance on tests of spatial ability in men with low testosterone levels and mild Alzheimer's disease. Improved performance on these tests may mean an improved ability to get around in one's environment without getting lost or injured. This could have a positive impact on both patients and those who care for them. We will investigate what areas of the brain are involved in these improvements in spatial ability. This will be done using a PET scan, which creates a 3-dimensional image of the brain that can allow us to see how the brain functions.

Trial Title and Description: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Multicenter Study Evaluating the Efficacy And Safety Of Eighteen Months of Treatment with PF-04494700 in Participants with Mild-To-Moderate Alzheimer’s disease

Much evidence suggests that Alzheimer‘s disease (AD) is caused by amyloid plaque deposits and tangles in the brain which lead to cognitive decline, memory loss and behavioral changes. Amyloid, one of the main components of plaques in AD, is known to bind to Receptors for Advanced Glycated Endproducts (or RAGE, for short) on the surface of cells (e.g. the brain’s nerve cells and microglial cells) and at the blood brain barrier. This binding may trigger inflammation and damage to nerve cells.  However, by blocking amyloid-RAGE binding, researchers have found that plaque formation was reduced in animal models.  

An experimental drug was developed as a RAGE antagonist, a novel pathway for trying to treat AD. The drug has been tested in laboratory animals, in small Phase I safety studies in healthy volunteers, and in a preliminary short safety study in AD patients. It is now being investigated in this larger Phase II clinical study to determine its efficacy (e.g. if it will slow the progressive decline associated with AD).
