Background: CT1812 is an experimental therapeutic sigma-2 receptor modulator in development for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies. CT1812 reduces the affinity of Aβ oligomers to bind to neurons and exert synaptotoxic effects. This phase 2, multi-center, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessed safety, tolerability and effects of CT1812 on cognitive function in individuals with AD.

SD is shown impairment of mental capacities whereas AD is degeneration of neurons. According to World Health Organization (WHO) report; more than 55 million peoples have dementia and it is raising 10 million new cases every year.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) trials report a high screening failure rate (potentially eligible trial candidates who do not meet inclusion/exclusion criteria during screening) due to multiple factors including stringent eligibility criteria. Here, we report the main reasons for screening failure in the 12-week screening phase of the ongoing evoke (NCT04777396) and evoke+ (NCT04777409) trials of semaglutide in early AD.
Method: Key inclusion criteria were age 55-85 years; mild cognitive impairment due to AD (Clinical Dementia Rating [CDR] global score of 0.

Background: The impact of probiotics as gut and immunological modulator in restoring gut microbial balance and immune cells expression have generated much attention in the health sector. Its inhibitory effect on bacterial translocation and associated neural inflammatory processes has been reported. However, there is scarcity of data on its neuroprotective impact against neuroinflammation-associated neurodegeneration and memory impairment.

Background: Cyclin Y (CCNY) is a member of cyclin protein family inhibiting long-term synaptic plasticity, which is related to the learning and memory function in neuronal system. Recently, CCNY has been reported to associate with the cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Method: In this study, we discovered PFTAIRE peptide to diminish CCNY protein level and to ameliorate cognitive dysfunction in AD.
