Pilot Trial of Carvedilol in Alzheimer's Disease
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Carvedilol and Placebo for Alzheimer's Disease. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a 6-month pilot randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of carvedilol, with the primary objective being to determine whether carvedilol treatment is associated with improvement in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) as compared to placebo treatment. Secondary objectives are to monitor changes in cerebrospinal fluid amyloid levels and whether this dose will be safe and well-tolerated in AD patients. Clinical assessments will be performed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months, while cerebrospinal fluid and blood samples will be obtained at baseline and 6 months.
