The aim of this study is to develop information about the acute and residual effects of a new product being targeted to young adults. Using a double placebo-controlled 2 X 2 factorial model study design, we will compare the acute and residual effects on driving impairment of caffeinated alcohol, non-caffeinated alcohol, caffeinated placebo, and non-caffeinated placebo. Under the alcohol conditions, participants will receive sufficient alcoholic beverage to attain a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .12 g%. Participants will be 144 undergraduate and graduate students, and recent college graduates.
Caffeinated alcoholic beverages target young adults with the promise that the caffeine will counteract the sedating effects of alcohol and thus let the consumer remain alert and active longer, while continuing to drink. It is likely that in the minds of some young people, this promise also translates into the idea that mixing caffeine with alcohol allows one to drive more safely than would be possible after having consumed an equivalent amount of non-caffeinated alcoholic beverage. These are dangerous assumptions because (1) alertness may not indicate the absence of impairment under intoxication and (2) next-day impairment from the residual effects of heavy drinking may be exacerbated by mixing caffeine and alcohol. We will compare the acute and residual effects of caffeinated and non-caffeinated beer in terms of a highly relevant outcome - the ability to drive safely. The long-term objectives of this program of research are to investigate factors that predict or contribute to performance decrements after alcohol ingestion, with a focus on behaviors most relevant to public health, such as driving. The primary specific aims of the proposed work are: AIM 1: To compare the acute effects of caffeinated alcohol, non-caffeinated alcohol, caffeinated placebo, and non-caffeinated placebo on driving-related impairment, as measured by performance on a driving simulator and the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT), a test of sustained attention/reaction time. We hypothesize that caffeinated beverage will result in less impaired simulated driving ability and better PVT performance acutely, compared to non-caffeinated beverage, but that performance on these measures following both caffeinated and non-caffeinated beverage be impaired relative to placebo beverages. AIM 2: To compare the residual effects of caffeinated alcohol, non-caffeinated alcohol, caffeinated placebo, and non-caffeinated placebo on next-day driving-related impairment, as measured by a driving simulator and the PVT. We hypothesize that caffeinated beverage will result in greater impairment in next-day simulated driving and attention/reaction time, relative to non-caffeinated beverage, and that performance following both caffeinated and non-caffeinated alcoholic beverages will be impaired relative to corresponding placebo beverages. AIM 3: To compare the acute effects of caffeinated alcohol, non-caffeinated alcohol, caffeinated placebo, and non-caffeinated placebo on self-rated ability to drive, as measured by a self assessment of ability-to-drive questionnaire, and estimate of blood alcohol concentration (BAC). We hypothesize that caffeinated alcoholic beverages will result in greater confidence in ability to drive and lower estimates of BAC, compared to non-caffeinated alcoholic beverages, but that for both alcoholic beverages, confidence in driving ability will be lower and estimates of BAC will be greater, relative to placebos. AIM 4: To compare the residual effects of caffeinated alcohol, non-caffeinated alcohol, caffeinated placebo, and non-caffeinated placebo on self-rated ability to drive. We hypothesize that caffeinated alcoholic beverage will result in lower confidence in ability to drive and higher estimates of BAC, compared to non-caffeinated alcoholic beverage, but that for both alcoholic beverages, confidence in driving ability will be lower and estimates of BAC will be greater, relative to placebo.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease that affects an individual's ability to breathe. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of sildenafil, a medication that increases blood flow to the lungs, at improving breathing function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in people with advanced IPF.
IPF is a disease in which fibrous tissue clogs the lungs. This eventually damages air sacs in the lungs and leads to widespread and permanent scarring of lung tissue. Individuals with IPF may experience breathing difficulties, cough, chest pain, and a decreased exercise capacity. Pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, affects half of all people with IPF. The fibrous tissue that clogs the lungs also blocks blood from flowing through the lungs effectively, reducing the amount of oxygen in the lungs. The fibrous tissue also reduces the lungs' ability to use what oxygen is available. These factors can cause breathing difficulties and may eventually lead to heart disease. Sildenafil is a medication that can increase blood supply to the lungs and reduce the heart's workload. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of sildenafil at improving breathing function, exercise capacity, and quality of life in people with advanced IPF. This study will enroll people with advanced IPF. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive sildenafil or placebo three times a day for 12 weeks. Study visits will occur at baseline and Weeks 1, 6, and 12. At Week 12, participants will have the option to continue in the study for an additional 12 weeks. All participants who agree to continue in the study will receive sildenafil three times a day for the second 12 weeks. Study visits will occur at Weeks 13, 18, and 24. At all study visits, a physical exam and blood collection will occur. At selected visits, the following study procedures will occur: lung function testing; urine collection; a 6-minute walk test, which will measure the distance walked in a 6-minute period; and questionnaires to assess health status, breathing, and quality of life. Participants will record medication usage and symptoms in a daily diary. Study researchers will review medical records and the Social Security death index 5 years following the end of the study to determine the incidence of death among study participants.

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the efficacy and safety of escitalopram administered premenstrually (day 14 through day 2 of the menstrual cycle) for severe PMS in young women ages 15-19 years.
The medication in this study is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), a class that is considered the first-line treatment for severe PMS at this time. Although data indicate that young women who have PMS in their teen years report the same symptoms and symptom severity as adult women, clinical trials have not included this age group, and there is no information on the efficacy and safety of treatment with a serotonergic antidepressant for PMS in teens.

The purpose of this research study is to examine whether Methylphenidate (MPD) can result in improvement of gait (walking) in a population of Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients whose main disability is freezing of gait. MPD (Ritalin®) is a drug which can excite or stimulate certain systems of the body that control motor function. This drug is FDA approved for the treatment of attention hyperactivity disorder, a condition unrelated to PD. The researchers hypothesize that daily treatment with a tolerable daily oral dose of MPD will improve gait velocity, stride length, cadence, and decrease freezing of gait, 3 months from treatment initiation in patients with moderately advanced PD, whose gait impairment is an important source of disability despite optimized antiparkinsonian treatment.
There are a total of six clinic visits involved in this study. All study-related assessments will take place first during the practically defined off period, that is, in the morning after at least 12 hours from the last dose of any antiparkinsonian medication, followed by a repeat assessment once the "on" state is clearly identified by the patient and examiner (approximately 30 to 60 minutes after taking your Parkinson's medication). This "practically defined off period" state is considered the desired state on which to report motor changes for any currently available or experimental intervention in PD. Patients will be off his or her Parkinson's medication for no more than 14 hours for each of the assessments. Studying patients in the off-period is the most widely used manner in which the value of new therapies can be fully measured. During the first visit, patients will be "randomized" into one of the study groups described below. Neither the participant nor the researcher conducting this study will choose what group he or she will be in. Participants will receive either placebo or a dose of 1 mg/kg of Methylphenidate capsules divided into three doses (at 8 am, 12 noon, and 4 pm). An increase in medication over a four week period will be used until a target dosage is reached, which may range from 5 to 8 10-mg capsules per day. A measure of balance will be taken during both patient's "off" and "on" motor states during each of the study visits. Patients will be asked to stand on a force plate (a piece of equipment that measures your balance and is located in the floor) for thirty seconds in a total of four conditions. The four sessions will be carried out as follows: (1) with eyes open while standing on firm surface, (2) with eyes closed while standing on firm surface, (3) with eyes open while standing on foam surface, and (4) with eyes closed while standing on foam surface. These sessions will be in random order and will be repeated up to 4 times. During all the study visits, the physician will ask patients to perform some physical tests during which the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and the Hoehn and Yahr (H\&Y) will be used to assess the severity of the patient's Parkinson's disease. Each assessment will take place during both patient's "off" and "on" motor states. Instruments that will also be used are the self-administered Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOGQ), to evaluate walking difficulties, and the Gait-Falls diary, to document all indoor and outdoor freezing, tripping, and falls. To assess changes in mood, patients will also complete the following instruments: the Montgomery-Asberg Depression scale (MADRS), the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) and the 20-item Zung Self-Rating Depression scale (Zung). To assess quality of life and activities of daily living, patients will complete the EQ-5D Health Questionnaire. Finally, patients will be asked to complete the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) to document any changes in sleep patterns. After the first visit, patients will begin a four week increase in medication in order to reach a target dose. At the fourth visit, patients will receive the opposite treatment of what was received the first time and another four-week increase in medication will take place. If Methylphenidate was given at the first visit, patients will receive placebo on the third visit and vice versa. There will be a three week period where patients will not take the study medication (either Methylphenidate or placebo), between the third and fourth visit. At all study visits, during both patient's "off" and "on" motor states, patients will have balance testing. The physician will evaluate the severity of patient's disease using the UPDRS and the H\&Y. Patients will be asked to complete the FOGQ and the Gait-Falls diary.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of the investigational drug, PSD502 in subjects with premature ejaculation (PE) The study drug, PSD02, is a metered dose (measured dose), topical (applied to the skin surface) anesthetic (numbing) spray containing a mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine. The study drug will be applied in a spray to the penis prior to intercourse in order to decrease sensitivity in an attempt to delay ejaculation.
Most studies evaluating treatments PE include intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) in the definition of PE. It has been estimated that PE affects 30-40% of the male population, but is paradoxically a condition for which they are least likely to seek help. Men with PE exhibit abnormal autonomic reflex pathways for the ejaculatory process. These include lower vibratory threshold to ejaculation, shorter bulbocavernous latency time and higher bulbocavernous evoked potentials. Reducing the heightened sensitivity of the glans penis with topical anesthetics might therefore be a way of improving IELT, without adversely affecting the sensation of ejaculation. Although IELT is an objective measure of ejaculatory function it does not address the impact of therapy on patients' well being and confidence in their sexual performance, which are important markers of treatment benefit. Therefore, if IELT is used as a sole efficacy measure it may not fully characterise the treatment benefit to the patient. For this reason, a patient reported outcome (PRO) known as the Index of Premature Ejaculation (IPE) will be used in this study in conjunction with IELT to evaluate efficacy. Thus the combination of the objective measure of ejaculatory latency with the PRO of IPE should be able to provide efficacy data which are representative of clinical benefit to the patient. The use of lidocaine, prilocaine and EMLA® cream as topical anesthetics is well established. Many years of experience of use in large numbers of patients, as well as comprehensive non-clinical safety testing programs for various formulations of lidocaine and prilocaine exist, to support their safety and tolerability. This information, together with the clinical data from 3 studies with PSD502 (ANAE-059-00, PSD502-PE-001, and PSD502-PE-003), suggest that PSD502 may have beneficial effects in reducing penile sensation and prolonging IELT, and its use is unlikely to be associated with significant clinical safety or tolerability concerns. The aim of this study is to provide additional placebo-controlled efficacy data to establish the clinical utility of PSD502 in the treatment of PE. In addition, long term open-label efficacy and safety data will be collected, to further support the registration package for PSD502 in the indication of treatment of PE.

intervention 1: PSD502 spray contains a mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine with Norflurane (HFA-134a) is used as both propellant and solvent. A single dose consists of 3 sprays applied to the glans penis. Approximately 5 minutes before intercourse the study spray can be applied and any excess should be wiped off with a damp cloth or tissue. During the initial 3 months double-blind phase of the study subjects should leave at least 24 hours between each dosing During the subsequent 5 months open label Phase of the study subjects may use the spray for up to a maximum of 3 sexual encounters (intercourse) in a 24 hour period. Each sexual encounter (intercourse) when the spray is used must be separated by at least 4 hour period. intervention 2: The placebo is a metered dose aerosol spray that is identical in appearance to the active treatment and contains the same propellant (norflurane) but has no lidocaine or prilocaine. Approximately 5 minutes before intercourse the study spray can be applied and any excess should be wiped off with a damp cloth or tissue. During the initial 3 months double-blind phase of the study subjects should leave at least 24 hours between each dosing. During the subsequent 5 months open label Phase of the study subjects may use the spray for up to a maximum of 3 sexual encounters (intercourse) in a 24 hour period. Each sexual encounter (intercourse) when the spray is used must be separated by at least 4 hour period.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of Azacytidine (5-azacytidine) combined with cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) for the treatment of patients with relapsed and/or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or high-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS). The safety and effectiveness of this treatment combination will also be studied.
5-azacytidine is designed to "turn off" the growth of cancer cells. This may be increased by ara-C, which is designed to kills leukemia cells by helping to stop the cells from dividing. If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be assigned to a treatment group. You will be randomly assigned (as in the toss of a coin) to one of the 4 treatment groups. The first 3 to 6 patients will be assigned to Group 1. If no serious side effects are experienced, the next 3 to 6 patients will be assigned to Group 2. If no serious side effects are experienced, the next 3 to 6 patients will be assigned to Group 3. If no serious side effects are experienced, the next 3 to 6 patients will be assigned to Group 4. If you are in Group 1, you will receive low-dose 5-azacytidine as an infusion by vein over 20 to 30 minutes every day for 7 days. You will also receive low-dose ara-C as a continuous infusion by vein for 7 days. If you are in Group 2, you will receive high-dose 5-azacytidine as an infusion by vein over 20 to 30 minutes every day for 7 days. You will also receive low-dose ara-C as a continuous infusion by vein for 7 days. If you are in Group 3, you will receive low-dose 5-azacytidine as an infusion by vein over 20 to 30 minutes every day for 7 days. You will also receive high-dose ara-C as a continuous infusion by vein for 3 days (if you are 65 years of age or older) or for 4 days (if you are younger than 65 years of age). If you are in Group 4, you will receive high-dose 5-azacytidine as an infusion by vein over 20 to 30 minutes every day for 7 days. You will also receive high-dose ara-C as a continuous infusion by vein for 3 days (if you are 65 years of age or older) or for 4 days (if you are younger than 65 years of age). Each group's treatment will be repeated every 4 to 8 weeks (this is considered 1 cycle of treatment), depending on your blood counts and how well your bone marrow is recovering. You will receive at least 2 cycles of treatment. You will continue to receive treatment, unless your disease gets worse or if you experience intolerable side effects. If your disease gets worse or you experience intolerable side effects, you may be taken off this study. This is an investigational study. 5-azacytidine has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of MDS. Ara-C has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of AML. Up to 80 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

Primary objective was to determine efficacy of Alfuzosin in the treatment of children and adolescents 2-16 years of age with newly diagnosed or progressive hydronephrosis due to elevated detrusor Leak Point Pressure \[LPP\] of neuropathic etiology. Secondary objectives were: * To investigate the safety and tolerability of alfuzosin 0.2 mg/kg/day in children and adolescents, * To investigate the number of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) episodes, * To investigate the pharmacokinetics of Alfuzosin (population kinetics).
The study consisted of 2 phases: * a 12-week efficacy phase then, * a 40-week safety extension phase. All eligible subjects received alfuzosin 0.2 mg/kg/day. The formulation and the frequency was assigned by Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) according to age group and ability to swallow tablets. Patients who completed the 12-week open-label treatment period were offered to continue in the 40-week open-label safety extension study. The treatment was the same as in the 12-week efficacy phase. All patients had a one-week follow-up period after the last dose intake.

This study is to discover whether children with severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) or other primary immunodeficiency disorder (PID) for which no satisfactory treatment other than stem cell transplantation (SCT) exists can be safely and effectively transplanted from HLA mismatched (up to one haplotype) related donors or unrelated matched or mismatched (up to one antigen) donors, when leukocytolytic monoclonal antibodies (MAb) and Fludarabine are the sole conditioning agents. Three monoclonal antibodies will be used in combination. Two of them are rat IgG1 (immunoglobulin G1) antibodies directed against two contiguous epitopes on the CD45 (common leucocyte) antigen. They have been safely administered as part of the conditioning regimen for 12 patients receiving allografts (HLA matched and mismatched) at this center. They produce a transient depletion of \>90% circulating leucocytes. The third MAb is Campath 1H, a humanized rat anti-CD52 MAb. Campath 1H, Alemtuzumab, has been licensed to treat B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and more recently has been safely given at this and other centers as part of a sub-ablative conditioning regimen to patients with malignant disease. Because these MAb produce both profound immunosuppression and significant, though transient, myelodestruction we believe they may be useful as the sole conditioning regimen in patients with SCID, in whom the use of conventional chemotherapeutic agents for conditioning may produce or aggravate unacceptable and even lethal short term toxicity. We anticipate MAb mediated subablative conditioning will permit engraftment in a high percentage of these patients with little or no immediate or long term toxicity. Campath IH persists in vivo for several days after administration and so will be present over the transplant period to deplete donor T cells as partial GvHD prophylaxis. Additional Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) prophylaxis may be provided by administration of FK506.
Donor Stem Cell Processing for Mismatched Donors: Harvested peripheral blood stem cells will be enriched for CD34 cells using the CliniMACS CD34 Reagent system, according to Center for Cell and Gene Therapy (CAGT) SOPs. Stem Cell Transplant Conditioning Campath-1H will be given as 3 daily intravenous infusions and will be followed by Anti-CD45 which will be given as four daily intravenous infusions that will be completed two days prior to stem cell infusion. Diphenydramine will be administered i.v. q4h during the period of the course of the Campath and Anti-CD45 infusions.

Campath will be dosed and administered as per CAGT SOP. Anti-CD45- Infusion Anti-CD45 infusion will be administered according to CAGT SOPs. 3 ml of heparinized blood will be drawn 48 hr post Anti-CD45 to evaluate for free Anti-CD45 levels in the plasma. This estimation will be used to determine whether treatment with irradiated leukocytes is required before the bone marrow is infused. GVHD Prophylaxis- GVHD prophylaxis will be achieved through positive selection for CD34 resulting in \> 3 log T cell depletion. Previous reports have indicated that there is a low frequency of severe (Grade II/IV) GVHD after haploidentical transplants if recipients receive stem cell populations containing \<5 x 10 CD3 positive T cells. We hope to achieve such levels with our CD34 enrichment protocol. However, pharmacologic prophylaxis will be added if the CD34 selected product contains more than 5 x 10 CD3+ve T cells/kg recipient weight. In addition, Campath 1H persists in the recipient circulation through the immediate transplant period and will contribute anti-GVHD activity, in vivo. Patients who develop acute or chronic GVHD will be managed according to CAGT SOPs.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of a 12-week trial of memantine hydrochloride administered twice daily in 20 adults (ages 18-55) with ADHD and ADHD NOS. Improvement will be defined as: 1) changes from baseline on the investigator-rated DSM-IV based ADHD Rating Scale; 2) changes from baseline in a questionnaire aimed at assessing executive functions (BRIEF); and 3) changes from screening in a computerized neuropsychological battery (CANTAB). We hypothesize that memantine hydrochloride will be associated with improving ADHD symptoms and associated deficits in executive functions. We also expect that memantine will be well-tolerated with predictable adverse events.
Memantine (Namenda) is a low-affinity N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist believed to work by blocking prolonged low-level activation of the NMDA receptor and resultant neuronal damage caused by abnormal glutamatergic activity, yet also allowing normal physiological activity of the NMDA channel. Memantine (Namenda) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2003 for the treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. Memantine improves or delays the decline in cognition (attention, language, visuo-spatial ability), as well as functional and behavioral symptoms in adults with moderate Alzheimer's disease. Although the efficacy and safety of memantine has not been tested in people with ADHD, the spectrum of disorders possibly amenable to NMDA receptor antagonist treatment may include ADHD and associated executive function deficits (EFDs). To this end, we are proposing an open-label pilot study of memantine in adult subjects with ADHD and ADHD Not Otherwise Specified (NOS). This will be a 12-week, open-label pilot study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of memantine hydrochloride (Namenda) administered to 20 adults 18-55 years of age with ADHD and ADHD NOS. All subjects that enter the study will undergo standard screening and diagnostic procedures. After obtaining written informed consent from the subject, the diagnosis of ADHD will be established through clinical evaluation by an expert clinician. Only consenting subjects satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study.

GenTeal gel is an artificial tear gel used to lubricate the surface of the eye. This study will evaluate the effect of GenTeal gel on comfort following LASIK surgery. Participants will be asked to come to the clinic for three regularly scheduled visits after LASIK surgery: Day 1 (one day after LASIK surgery), Day 7 (one week follow-up), and Day 30 (one month follow-up). Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire regarding eye comfort during each follow up visit. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, one of which will receive Genteal Gel four times a day for five days prior to surgery. The other group will receive no preoperative gel or lubricant, which has been our standard approach for many years.
LASIK (Laser Keratomileusis in Situ) is a frequently performed procedure to reduce the refractive error of the eye so as to minimize the subsequent need for eyeglasses or contact lenses. The procedure requires the creation of a superficial corneal flap, usually with an instrument known as a microkeratome. During the creation of the flap with a microkeratome, the corneal epithelium is typically subjected to sliding stresses which occasionally cause disruption of the epithelial surface, a complication with potentially serious adverse effect on the post operative visual acuity. As well, shortly before the creation of the flap, the patient is often dilated and invariably treated with topical anesthetics. These agents, and their preservatives, can have a negative effect on corneal epithelial integrity, right before the epithelium must withstand the passage of the microkeratome. Therefore, it is imperative that the epithelium be in the best possible condition prior to the LASIK procedure. For this reason, ocular lubricants may be used for a period of time prior to surgery in order to maximize epithelial health. In the immediate post-operative period the bond between the newly created flap and the underlying corneal stroma is weak, and the epithelium has just been subjected to the pharmacologic and mechanical stresses noted above. It is imperative that the surface continuity of the epithelium between the edge of the flap and the surrounding surface be restored as rapidly as possible, as reestablishment of an intact epithelial surface minimizes the risks of flap shift, epithelial ingrowth, and infection. For all these reasons, it is a generally accepted standard of care to use aggressive ocular lubrication during the post-operative period in order to maximize the speed of epithelial recovery. GenTeal Lubricant Eye Drops and GenTeal Gel, (0.3% hypromellose, Novartis Ophthalmics, Basel, Switzerland) provide a natural alternative to preservative-free treatments, with a sodium perborate preservative system and long-lasting action due to the carbomer gelling agent. The perborate preservative, which breaks down to water and oxygen on the ocular surface, essentially delivers a preservative-free lubricant to the eye. This makes the GenTeal products attractive agents for use in the LASIK perioperative period.

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety of duloxetine and see what effects (good and bad) it has on the subject's binge eating disorder and comorbid depressive disorder (depression occurring with binge eating disorder) compared to placebo (inactive pill).
This is a 12-week, double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, flexible-dose study of duloxetine 60-120 mg/day in patients with BED and comorbid depressive disorders. Patients will be randomly assigned to either duloxetine 30 mg capsules or matching placebo at the baseline visit. The initial dose of study medication will be one 30 mg duloxetine capsule/day or placebo with a planned increase to 60 mg/day (2 X 30 mg) or matching placebo at the end of week 1. Further dose increases of 30 mg up to 120 mg/day will be allowed after the end of week two based on the investigators' assessment of efficacy and tolerability. Dosing will be either once per day or twice a day depending on tolerability. Patient visits will occur at screening and baseline and at the end of weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Study drug will be tapered by 30 mg every 3 days at the end of the study.

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and Pharmacokinetics - Pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) of meropenem in infants \<91 days of age with suspected and complicated intra-abdominal infections. The specific aims of this trial are: 1. To characterize meropenem single-dose and multiple-dose PK in subjects with suspected and complicated intra-abdominal infections. 2. To characterize the safety profile of meropenem in the treatment of suspected and complicated intra-abdominal infections. 3. To assess collected efficacy data for meropenem for the treatment of suspected and complicated intra-abdominal infections.

intervention 1: Meropenem was administered concomitantly with compatible medications. Because an in-line filter is not appropriate due to drug binding, the 30 minute infusion was rate controlled by using appropriate infusion (syringe) pumps. Dosing and administration of other antimicrobial therapy (e.g., an aminoglycoside) was administered per local standard of care at the discretion of the infant's neonatologist. If there was a delay in the study drug shipment, sites were to use open-label meropenem to protect the safety of the participant. 20 mg/kg every 12 hours in infants \<32 weeks GA and PNA \< 2 weeks 20 mg/kg every 8 hours in infants \<32 weeks GA and PNA ≥ 2 weeks 20 mg/kg every 8 hours in infants ≥32 weeks GA and PNA \< 2 weeks 30 mg/kg every 8 hours in infants ≥32 weeks GA and PNA ≥ 2 weeks

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of AKR-501 (avatrombopag) administered in participants with chronic Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) who were enrolled into and completed 28 days of study treatment in Protocol 501-CL-003 (NCT00441090).
Participants eligible to enroll into this rollover protocol will begin study treatment within 2-5 days of their Day 28 study termination visit in Protocol 501-CL-003 (NCT00441090). Participants who met the primary efficacy response criterion in Protocol 501-CL-003 will continue receiving the same study treatment to which they were assigned in the previous protocol in a double-blinded manner, these being one of the following 5 treatments: * avatrombopag 2.5 mg daily * avatrombopag 5 mg daily * avatrombopag 10 mg daily * avatrombopag 20 mg daily * placebo Participants who did not meet the primary efficacy response criterion in Protocol 501-CL-003 who otherwise meet the eligibility criteria for this rollover protocol will be offered open label avatrombopag 10 mg daily. This is a parallel group, rollover study.

Reducing tobacco use by adolescents is a national health priority. In recent polls, most adolescent smokers reported having tried unsuccessfully to quit. Smoking cessation treatment during adolescence has the potential to interrupt the progression to nicotine dependence, which is attended by a wide range of negative health consequences. Given the need for effective smoking cessation programs aimed at youth, scientifically rigorous research is warranted to reduce adolescent smoking. This project will address gaps in the scientific treatment literature. The goal of this project is to develop a tailored, practical, and efficacious smoking cessation intervention. Combined with other efforts in the field, this work can provide an initial guide to an evidence-based treatment for smoking cessation in youth. In keeping with developments in other fields of medicine, we believe that further advances in smoking cessation will move towards a goal of personalized treatment. Such an individualized approach for adolescent smoking cessation will be informed by further investigation of the relationships between outcomes in this trial. To serve these goals, we propose the following program: Youths who smoke regularly will receive a 6 week intervention using "cognitive-behavioral motivational enhancement" (CBME) supplemented by nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), if youth and parents desire this option. Furthermore, youth has to smoke more than 5 cigarettes a day in order to qualify for nicotine replacement therapy. This approach is consistent with treatment guidelines for smoking cessation (Fiore 2000). Compared with participants who fail to achieve smoking cessation, those who successfully achieve smoking abstinence during intervention, will have lower baseline rates of comorbid ADHD, lower depressive symptom scores, enhanced readiness to quit, more negative attitudes towards smoking, fewer friends who smoke, and fewer family members who smoke. The investigators predict that the intervention will help youth to quit smoking and will examine predictions of successful quitting.
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, and current estimates project that 6.4 million of our nation's youth will die prematurely from a smoking-related disease (Fellows et al., 2002). Extant data suggest that three of every five adolescent smokers are nicotine-dependent, and that some subgroups of adolescents are at higher risk for dependence (e.g., daily or heavy smokers, incarcerated youth, youth in vocational schools, depressed youth, youth with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)). Adolescent tobacco smoking increases risk for a wide range of negative health consequences (Abrantes et al., 2005; Anda et al., 1990; Biederman et al., 2006; Escobedo et al., 1998; Kandel et al., 1986; Kollins et al., 2005; Wilens \& Dodson 2004). For example, smoking-related cancer risk is increased with early age of initiating smoking and longer time of smoking, underscoring the importance of addressing this health risk behavior in youth (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1994). Reducing tobacco use by adolescents is a national health priority (see Healthy People 2010, Objective, 27.2 (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 2000)). Approximately 4% of 8th graders, 7.5% of 10th graders, and 13.6% of 12th graders smoke daily and almost half of these youths smoke ≥ half a pack per day (Johnston \& O'Coner 2005). In recent polls, most adolescent smokers reported having tried unsuccessfully to quit (Grimshaw et al., 2003; Hollis et al., 2003). Smoking cessation treatment during adolescence has the potential to interrupt the progression to nicotine dependence, which is attended by a wide range of negative health consequences (Anda et al., 1990; Escobedo et al., 1998; Kandel \& Davies 1986). Given the need for effective smoking cessation programs aimed at youth, scientifically rigorous research is warranted to reduce adolescent smoking (Backinger et al., 2003). This project will address gaps in the scientific treatment literature. In keeping with developments in other fields of medicine, we believe that further advances in smoking cessation will move towards a goal of personalized treatment. In order to optimize the aim for personalized treatment we will include genetic testing. For some smoking cessation treatments, evidence has begun to accumulate that the inter-individual variability in response to treatment benefits and side effects may be influenced by inheritance. In the smoking cessation treatment literature, some observations have already been made suggesting that common gene variants may be associated with different treatment outcomes. The association between depression and smoking has led to interest in whether the short allele of the serotonin transporter gene may be associated with increased vulnerability to smoking and nicotine dependence, although to our knowledge this has yet to be demonstrated (Brody, et al. 2005). Such findings suggest that individual vulnerability to the reinforcing effects of smoking, and most important to this study differences in quitting success, could be partially predicted by individual genotype. Additionally, motivational and psychosocial factors have also been identified as likely predictors of treatment response. We are seeking predictors that would allow us to reach the ultimate objective: to contribute to an algorithm to better match youth and effective smoking cessation treatment. Specific Aims of the study are as follows: 1. To evaluate an intervention for adolescent smoking cessation. 2. To examine moderators and mediators of successful smoking cessation.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of lenalidomide (Revlimid®) in subjects with Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE). The study drug will be used in an off-label indication to treat 6 subjects for 12 months each. Men and women over the age of 18, who have a biopsy proven diagnosis of CLE and who have failed standard treatment, will be included in the study.
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is a chronic and often disabling disease which affects the skin. Many patients experience scarring and inflammation of the skin, which often occur on the face. Moderate to severe CLE is most frequently treated with antimalarial drugs such as hydroxychloroquine, quinacrine or chloroquine. Up to 70% of CLE patients treated with antimalarials experience a beneficial clinical response, while the remainder of patients show no response or continue to experience progression of the disease. Thalidomide has been used successfully in such patients, with up to 75% clinical response rate in refractory CLE patients. However, thalidomide is a known teratogen and can cause severe birth defects, including short, malformed limbs and damage to peripheral nerves in the extremities, requiring patients to be monitored for pregnancy. In addition, up to 25% of patients on thalidomide develop peripheral neuropathy. A new drug, lenalidomide (REVLIMID®), an analogue of thalidomide, has been developed to treat neoplastic and inflammatory conditions, including various oncologic conditions such as multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome and solid tumors. Unlike thalidomide, lenalidomide (REVLIMID®) is not known to cause the extent of serious side effects caused by thalidomide; however, it must also be monitored for side effects and be distributed under the RevAssist program authorized by the drug manufacturer, Celgene Corporation. The primary goal of this investigator-initiated, small pilot study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of lenalidomide (REVLIMID®) in CLE subjects using measurements such as the CLASI (Cutaneous Lupus Activity and Severity Index). The study drug will be used in an off-label indication to treat 6 subjects, for whom lenalidomide (REVLIMID®) will be provided at no cost by the drug manufacturer. Men and women over the age of 18, who have a biopsy proven diagnosis of refractory CLE and who have failed standard treatment with hydroxychloroquine for up to three months, will be included in the study. Secondarily, the study will evaluate the biologic effects of lenalidomide on pathogenic and immunologic mechanisms of the CLE disease process during the treatment period by collecting skin specimens (biopsies) and blood samples.

This study will apply polysomnography (PSG) to evaluate the effect of quetiapine fumarate on sleep architecture. Most of previous studies evaluated sleep by self-reported questionnaires during the antipsychotic treatment (clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, et al), while only a few studies with PSG evaluation had some limitation, such as: small sample size, respective or cross-sectional, potential sleep disorders, et al. In this study, we will investigate both subjective and objective effect of quetiapine fumarate in improving sleep quality in schizophrenic patients by PSG as well as psychiatric scales. The control drug in this study is the typical antipsychotic - haloperidol. It could increase sleep duration and efficiency by mostly increasing the S2 without effect on rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and slow wave sleep (SWS). The patients will be randomised into two groups as a parallel design. This study is designed as rater blinded to reduce the bias in evaluation. It is suggested that the sedative effect of quetiapine fumarate could diminish in 2 weeks, therefore, we use 4 weeks to ensure the change of sleep quality in this study, which could be helpful for the evaluation of relative short and middle term effect of quetiapine fumarate on sleep quality.
1. The objective sleep structures of quetiapine fumarate and haloperidol being used as mono-therapy respectively in the treatment of patients with acute schizophrenia are measured by the change of composite variables for PSG test (sleep stages, time in bed, total sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep latency) from baseline to Week 4 (LOCF). 2. The subjective sleep qualities of quetiapine fumarate and haloperidol being used as mono-therapy respectively in the treatment of patients with acute schizophrenia are measured by the change of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS) from baseline to Week 4 (LOCF). 3. The clinical efficacy of quetiapine fumarate and haloperidol being used as mono-therapy respectively in the treatment of patients with acute schizophrenia are measured by the change of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Clinical Globe Impression (CGI),and Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) from baseline to Week 4 (LOCF). 4. The clinical safety and tolerance quetiapine fumarate and haloperidol being used as mono-therapy respectively in the treatment of patients with acute schizophrenia are measured by Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) in day 14 and day 28.

It is hypothesized that the opioid antagonist naltrexone will improve inflammation of the bowel and quality of life in subjects with active Crohn's disease compared to placebo. In order to test this hypothesis the following specific aims are proposed: 1. Evaluate the effects of low dose naltrexone compared to placebo on the activity of Crohn's disease by the following end points: Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), pain assessment, laboratory values (CRP and ESR), endoscopic appearance, histology, and quality of life surveys; 2. Examine the effects of naltrexone given over 3 months compared to 6 months for durability of response; 3. Determine the safety and toxicity of low dose naltrexone in subjects with active Crohn's disease, and 4. Study the mechanism by which naltrexone exerts its effect by measuring plasma enkephalin levels of subjects on therapy. Purpose statement: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of low dose naltrexone in a blinded placebo controlled study to determine the safety and efficacy of this compound in those with active Crohn's disease.
Study design : The study is designed as a double-blind placebo controlled study for 3 months followed by a pseudo cross-over such that all subjects receiving placebo the first 3 months will receive active drug the second 3 months and all receiving naltrexone the first 3 months remain on the drug the last 3 months of this 6 month study.

The purpose of this study is to investigate if the combination of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin is effective for triple negative breast cancer.
In this study, participants will receive gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, drugs that have been in use for a long time. Gemcitabine is a treatment that is an effective therapy currently available to patients with this type and stage of breast cancer. Frequently, in cancer therapy, combinations of drugs prove more effective as treatment than the same drugs used alone. The combination of gemcitabine and oxaliplatin has not been tested in patients with triple negative breast cancer. It is hoped that the addition of oxaliplatin may cause your tumor to stop growing or possible your tumor may shrink. This assessment will be basd on measuring changes in the size of your tumor.

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of eltrombopag to elevate platelet counts thereby reducing the need for platelet transfusions in chronic liver disease patients with thrombocytopenia undergoing elective invasive procedures. The clinical benefit of eltrombopag will be measured by the proportion of subjects who avoid platelet transfusions, before, during and up to 7 days after undergoing an invasive procedure. In addition, bleeding events will be monitored during this time. The number of transfusions, safety events and medical resource utilisation will be monitored during this time and for up to 30 days after undergoing an invasive procedure to help further evaluate clinical benefit.

The purpose of Study TOC110977 is to demonstrate clinical superiority of Retapamulin ointment, 1%, over placebo in patients with secondarily-infected traumatic lesions, which includes secondarily-infected lacerations, abrasions and sutured wounds. Subjects 2 months of age and older will be treated with topical retapamulin or placebo ointment twice daily for 5 days. The primary endpoint of this study is the clinical response at follow-up (Day 12-14; 7-9 days after the end of therapy) in the intent-to-treat clinical population.
This is a prospective, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study in subjects aged 2 months and older with SITL, including secondarily-infected lacerations, sutured wounds or abrasions. A laceration or sutured wound cannot exceed 10 cm in length with surrounding erythema not extending more than 2 cm from the edge of the lesion. Abrasions cannot exceed 100 cm2 in total area, or up to a maximum of 2% total body surface area for subjects \<18 years of age, with surrounding erythema not extending more than 2 cm from the edge of the abrasion. There are four study visits occurring over a 12-14 day period. At the Baseline visit (Visit 1, Day 1), subjects will be randomized to receive retapamulin or placebo ointment in a 2:1 (retapamulin:placebo) ratio. The 2:1 randomization is included to minimize the number of subjects exposed to treatment with placebo. Both active treatment and placebo will be dosed topically twice daily (BID) for 5 days. All subjects will receive a telephone call from the investigator or appropriate designee appointed by the investigator on Day 2. The subject will be interviewed to determine if there is any evidence of worsening infection. Subjects who are thought to be worsening will be instructed to come in to the clinic for an assessment. Subjects will be monitored and clinically evaluated at the On-therapy (Days 3-4), End of Therapy (Days 7-9), and Follow-up (Days 12-14) visits. Randomization will be center-based and performed using an appropriate Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS), an automated telephone system. The block size will remain confidential. Subjects are considered to have completed the study if they meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria, are considered compliant with study medication, and attend all study visits as defined by the protocol.

This pilot study will help us to determine the success of using a special technique called microarray technology to examine cancer genes in order to predict how individual women will respond to one of two therapies, liposomal doxorubicin or topotecan, and which will be more effective in treating ovarian cancer that has returned (recurrent ovarian cancer). We believe that this study may lead to a means by which microarray technology can predict the most effective treatment decision, based on the genetic characteristics of her tumor tissue, for a woman with recurrent ovarian cancer. Another purpose of this study is to determine how quickly a woman with recurrent ovarian cancer will respond to treatment (treatment response rate) and to evaluate the accuracy of the genomic predictions. Recent data suggest that microarray technology can predict a patient's response to chemotherapy; this has not yet been proven in a forward-looking study which is why we are conducting this research.
Patients who take part in the study will have an initial visit and undergo a CT guided core biopsy. Using tissue from a CT guided core biopsy, microarray analysis will be performed to help predict which of the two drugs appears to be better suited to individual genomic factors. The results will result in being assigned to treatment with either liposomal doxorubicin or topotecan. Patients who receive liposomal doxorubicin - IV chemotherapeutic treatment will occur 3 times, 28 days apart, weeks 1,5,and 9. At each of these visits patients will be evaluated and have blood work to check their liver tests and electrolytes. Every 8 weeks patients will have a radiologic evaluation of their tumor. Patients who receive topotecan - IV chemotherapeutic treatment will occur 4 times, 21 days apart, weeks 1,4,7, and 10. At each of these visits patients will be evaluated and have blood work to check levels of liver tests and electrolytes. Every 8 weeks patients will have a radiologic evaluation of their tumor.

The overall purpose of this research is to determine if there is a relationship between your symptoms of Dementia of the Alzheimers type and changes in the size and shape of certain brain structures during combined Donepezil (Aricept®) and Memantine (Namenda®) treatment.
In this study we will be using Memantine (Namenda®) in an investigational fashion with individuals with very mild to mild dementia. Donepezil (Aricept®) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Alzheimers disease. Memantine (Namenda®) is currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for moderate and severe dementia only. This study may be instrumental in the development of a new therapy for others with similar conditions, and to determine whether Memantine (Namenda®) will be helpful to individuals with very mild to mild dementia. Specific Aim 1. To determine what neuroanatomical measures are most strongly correlated with the progression of clinical and cognitive deficits in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT). To accomplish this aim, we will use high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and the tools of computational anatomy to assess changes in the structure of selected subcortical (e.g., hippocampus) and cortical (e.g., parahippocampal gyrus and cingulate gyrus) structure along with clinical and cognitive measures of dementia severity in subjects with very mild-to-mild DAT. Specific Aim 2 - To determine whether cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine can slow disease progression in DAT subjects. To accomplish this aim, we will use MR imaging and the tools of computational anatomy to compare the rate of change in the neuroanatomical measures listed above in 1) untreated DAT subjects, 2) DAT subjects treated with donepezil alone, and 3) DAT subjects treated with the combination of donepezil and memantine.

Since these corticolimbic structures have been shown in humans to play a critical role in declarative memory (Squire and Zola-Morgan, 1991), neurodegeneration within them has been hypothesized to be the basis for memory losses in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT). Moreover, progressive structural degeneration of the hippocampus occurs in parallel with clinical worsening of the disease (Jobst, et al, 1994; Fox, et al, 1996; Jack, et al, 1998). Treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors is now considered routine for patients with very mild-to-mild DAT (Knopman and Morris, 1997; Samuels and Davis, 1998). A number of cholinesterase inhibitors (e.g., tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine) are commercially available, and there is ample evidence of their capacity to ameliorate cognitive deficits associated with AD (Corey-Bloom, et al, 1998; Davis, et al, 1992; Farlow, et al, 1992; Knapp,et al, 1994; Morris, et al, 1998; Rogers, et al, 1998; Rogers and Friedhoff, 1996; Thal, et al, 1996; Wilcock and Wilkinson, 1996). However, these studies provide little evidence that cholinesterase inhibitors have the capacity to alter the progression of the disease. Recently, the first drug treatment for DAT other than a cholinesterase inhibitor was approved for use in the U.S. Memantine, a voltage dependent, uncompetitive NMDA antagonist, has also been shown to ameliorate the cognitive deficits associated with AD (Reisberg, et al, 2003), and in a trial comparing combined memantine/donepezil treatment to donepezil alone, the combination of memantine and donepezil was demonstrated to have superior efficacy (Tariot, et al, 2004). Because the mechanism of action of this drug involves modulation of the potentially excitotoxic neurotransmitter, glutamate, it has been hypothesized that this drug may slow progression of the disease process in AD (Jarvis and Figgitt, 2003). However, there is no direct evidence of memantine’s capacity to slow the progression of neurodegeneration in DAT patients. During the initial funding period of this grant, we tested the hypothesis that the volume and shape of the hippocampus could predict the outcome of treatment with donepezil in patients with very mild-to-mild DAT. The rationale for this experiment was that hippocampal neurons receive cholinergic afferent projections (Umbriaco, et al, 1995), and so became the indirect targets of cholinomimetic treatments. We now propose to extend this investigation of the relationships between neuroanatomical structure and treatment response in patients with DAT by 1) determining what neuroanatomical changes are most strongly correlated with the progression of cognitive deficits in patients with DAT (Specific Aim 1), and 2) determining whether treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors and/or adjunctive memantine can slow progression of the neuroanatomical and cognitive/behavioral changes associated with AD (Specific Aim 2). The specific aims and hypotheses of the project are as follows: Specific Aim 1: To determine what neuroanatomical measures are most strongly correlated with the progression of cognitive deficits in patients with DAT, we propose to use high resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and the tools of computational anatomy to assess changes in the structure of the hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus and cingulate gyrus in subjects with very mild-to-mild DAT over two years. During the first funding period of this project, we collected data using MR imaging and large-deformation high dimensional brain mapping (HDBM-LD) that shows that progressive hippocampal volume loss and shape change discriminates subjects with very mild DAT from nondemented controls (see Progress Report). The volume, thickness, and surface area of the parahippocampal and cingulate gyri will be assessed in the proposed work using labeled cortical depth mapping (LCDM), a new computational tool that was developed during the last funding period (see Progress Report). (Hypothesis 1: Over two years, decreases in hippocampal and cortical volumes, thinning of the cingulate and parahippocampal cortices, and changes in hippocampal shape will be correlated with the rate of cognitive decline in subjects with very mild-to-mild DAT. Moreover, in a stepwise regression 2 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 model, each of these variables will predict the rate of cognitive decline in DAT subjects independently of each other and independently of the effects of age, gender and apoE allelic status.) Specific Aim 2: To determine whether cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine can slow the progression of disease in DAT subjects, we will use HDBM-LD and LCDM to compare the rate of change in the neuroanatomical measures listed above in three groups – 1) untreated DAT subjects, 2) DAT subjects treated with donepezil alone, and 3) DAT subjects treated with the combination of donepezil and memantine. Past, present and future subjects recruited from the ADRC as well as the Memory Diagnostic Center (MDC) at Washington University will be used for this study, and the period of treatment will be two years. Due to ethical considerations (see Research Design and Methods), drug treatment will be naturalistic and open label. (Hypothesis 2: The rate of decreasing hippocampal and cortical volumes, thinning of the cingulate and parahippocampal cortices, and changing hippocampal shape will be equal in DAT subjects that are untreated and in DAT subjects that are treated with donepezil alone, but greater than the rate of volume loss, thinning and hippocampal shape change in DAT subjects that are treated with the combination of donepezil and memantine.) BACKGROUND Cholinesterase Inhibitors as Treatments for DAT Several cholinesterase inhibitors are now commercially available for the treatment of DAT, and have been shown to have at least ameliorative effects on the symptoms of DAT, including memory loss (Corey-Bloom, et al, 1998; Davis, et al. 1992; Farlow, et al, 1992; Knapp,et al, 1994; Morris, et al, 1998; Rogers, et al., 1998; Rogers and Friedhoff, 1996; Thal, et al, 1996; Wilcock and Wilkinson, 1996). Cholinergic projections from the nucleus basalis are dispersed widely throughout the brain, and include the hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, cingulate gyrus and other neocortical areas. However, because of the central role played by the hippocampus and structures related to it in memory (Zola-Morgan and Squire, 1993), and the high frequency with which these structures are affected early in the course of Alzheimer’s disease (Hyman, et al, 1984 and 1987; Arnold, et al, 1991; Gomez-Isla, et al, 1996; Berg, et al, 1998), these structures may be especially involved in symptom production and treatment response in subjects with DAT. The precise mechanism of action of cholinesterase inhibitors for the treatment of DAT remains under investigation. Terminals for acetylcholine are found throughout the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus (Umbriaco, et al, 1995), and studies of neurotransmitter receptors show that the hippocampus contains a variety of receptors for acetylcholine. Receptors for both muscarinic (M1) and nicotinic ACh receptors are expressed throughout the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus. In particular, M1 receptors are found on the terminals of pyramidal neurons where they suppress excitatory activity (Dutar and Nicoll, 1988; Sheridan and Sutor, 1990), and on the terminals of inhibitory/GABA interneurons where they suppress GABA release (Behrends and Ten Bruggencate, 1993). However, while acetylcholine has various sites of action within the hippocampus, the net result of these effects appears to be the excitation of hippocampal pyramidal neurons (Steckler and Sahgal, 1995). In rats, injection of the prototypical cholinesterase inhibitor, physostigmine, directly into the hippocampus reverses the memory deficits induced by scopolamine (Ohno, et al, 1996). RU47213, another cholinesterase inhibitor, similarly reverses the working memory deficits of rats in the radial arm maze induced by scopolamine (M’Harzi, et al, 1997). These studies suggest that cholinomimetic drugs are effective in reversing cognitive deficits due to experimentally-induced cholinergic deficits. Relatively few studies have addressed the question of whether treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors can slow the progression of the AD process. In many clinical studies of cholinesterase inhibitors in patients with DAT, improvements in cognition are only temporary and when declines in cognition resume, they proceed similarly in patients that have received active treatment and placebo (Burns, et al, 1999; Feldman, et al, 2001; Raskind, et al, 2000; Rogers, et al, 1998). Moreover, there is no obvious neural mechanism by which acetylcholine might exert neuroprotective effects. Instead, acetylcholine is generally considered to be an 3 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 excitatory neurotransmitter (Steckler and Sahgal, 1995), and elevations in the release of acetylcholine have even been reported to have neurotoxic effects (Kim, et al, 1999). NMDA Antagonists as Treatments for DAT Hippocampal pyramidal neurons are glutamatergic and are interconnected via a trisynaptic excitatory circuit (Wyss and van Groen, 1989). When experimentally-induced increases in the release of glutamate occur, ongoing destruction of the hippocampus can proceed through a cascade of excitotoxicity (Choi, et al, 1988; Lipton and Rosenberg, 1994). Of particular importance to the pathogenesis of AD and to the mechanism of action of memantine, Aβ may also initiate the excitotoxic cascade. For example, Harkany, et al (2000), reported that Aβ depolarizes astroglial membranes and blocks glutamate uptake by such cells. Increases in the resultant levels of glutamate then trigger neuronal damage, which is blocked by the non-competitive NMDA antagonist, MK-801. Barger and Basile (2001) have also suggested that glial cells may be a source of the glutamate released by Aβ. Excitotoxic stimulation, in turn, promotes the processing of APP so that more pathogenic forms of Aβ, such as Aβ42, accumulate (Mattson, et al, 1993). Finally, Parks, et al (2001) and Ikezu, et al (2003) have shown that the NMDA antagonist, MK-801, blocks the release of reactive oxygen species triggered by Aβ. Memantine is a voltage-dependent, uncompetitive antagonist at NMDA-type glutamate receptors that does not interfere with the physiological actions of glutamate required for learning and memory (see Kilpatrick and Tillbrook, 2002 and Jarvis and Figgitt, 2003 for review). Because of this unusual pharmacology, it is devoid of the anesthestic and psychotogenic effects that characterize non-competitive NMDA antagonists, such as phencyclidine and MK-801 (Frankiewicz, et al, 1996). Twenty years ago, memantine was observed to have alerting effects in comatose patients (Miltner, 1982), and more than 10 years ago, memantine was first investigated for use in patients with AD (Ditzler, 1991). Memantine’s hypothesized mechanism of action as an anti-dementia drug is the use-dependent (i.e., voltage-dependent) blockade of NMDA receptors that mediate excitotoxicity (Erdo and Schafer, 1991; Weller, et al, 1993) and neuronal degeneration triggered by Aβ (Miguel-Hidelgo, et al, 2002). Also, memantine increases the expression of brain-derived neuroprotective factor (BDNF) and trkB in the mammalian brain (Marvanova, et al, 2001). The efficacy of memantine in patients with DAT has been recently been demonstrated in a major multi- center study in the US (Reisberg, et al, 2003), and in the fall of 2003, memantine was approved for use in the U.S. as a treatment for DAT. Also, combination therapy of memantine and donepezil has been shown to be superior to treatment with donepezil alone (Farlow, et al, 2003; Tariot, et al, 2004). However, while reports of memantine’s efficacy have been impressive, it remains uncertain as to whether the drug can alter the progression of AD (Reisberg, et al, 2003). The potential of memantine to alter the course of AD rests on its capacity to block excitotoxicity (Jarvis and Figgitt, 2003). However, clinical trials alone cannot provide conclusive evidence of its ability to block excitotoxic neurodegeneration and so alter the underlying disease process of AD (see Areosa and Sherriff, 2003 for review). Neuroanatomical Measures as Markers of Disease Progression Substantial volume losses in medial temporal lobe brain structures, such as the hippocampus, have been reported using manual analysis of MR scans in DAT subjects (Jack, et al, 1992; Pearlson, et al, 1992; Scheltens, et al, 1992; Ikeda, et al, 1994). These studies are consistent with the results of post-mortem studies, which demonstrate substantial neuronal loss in the same brain areas (Gomez-Isla, et al, 1996). Substantial volume losses in the hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus are seen in people with even mild DAT, and the progression of such volume losses correlates with symptomatic worsening (Jobst, et al, 1994; Fox, et al, 1996; Killiany, et al, 1993; Jack, et al, 1998; Laakso, et al, 1996; Murphy, et al, 1993; Mungas, et al, 2002; Wang, et al, 2003). In fact, progression of hippocampal volume loss over time has been suggested as a method of discriminating patients with DAT from patients with normal aging and other brain diseases (Fox, et al, 1996; 4 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 Jack, et al, 1998). However, to date, there have been no studies that have answered the question of whether drug treatment alters the progression of neuroanatomical changes in patients with DAT. Computerized methods for MR image analysis are being increasingly applied to the problem of identifying early forms of AD and other neuropsychiatric diseases (Iosifescu, et al, 1997; Thompson, et al, 1997; Ashburner, et al, 2003). We have recently completed several studies of the hippocampus using one of these methods (i.e., HDBM-LD) in subjects with very mild DAT, showing that hippocampal shape and volume can be used to discriminate DAT and control subjects (Csernansky, et al, 2000; Wang, et al, 2003) and that antemortem hippocampal volume predicted post-mortem tangle density in the hippocampus (Csernansky, et al, 2004). The results of these studies indicate that subjects with very mild DAT symptoms have highly characteristic shape deformations of the hippocampus as well as substantial hippocampal volume losses. These methods also hold promise for improving our capacity to study disease progression in DAT patients during drug treatment. In drug treatment studies, one is chiefly interested in assessing the degree of change within individuals. This problem is ideally addressed by methods that can transform one MR scan (i.e., at baseline) onto another (i.e., after drug treatment), thus quantifying subtle changes in neuroanatomical volumes and shapes. Fox and colleagues have performed a number of studies of this kind in subjects with and without DAT using a methodology called voxel compression mapping (VBM) (Fox, et al, 1996 and 2001; Fox and Freeborough, 1997; Freeborough and Fox, 1998). Also, this group has shown compelling evidence that VBM as compared to conventional manual volumetry significantly reduces the sample size required to detect the effects of drug treatment in patients with DAT (Fox, et al, 2000). During the first funding period of this project, we used HDBM-LD to compare patterns of change in hippocampal volume and shape in untreated patients with very mild DAT and non-demented controls (Wang, et al, 2003). In this study, we demonstrated that hippocampal shape change and the rate of volume loss provided complementary information for distinguishing subjects with DAT from the non-demented controls. Clinical Significance of the Proposed Studies There are two major areas of clinical significance to the proposed studies. First, the human study proposed in this application represent direct tests of the capacity of memantine and donepezil to slow the progression of DAT in patients. Second, we will be able to identify neuroanatomical measures that are most highly correlated for assessing the clinical progression of the AD process. By identifying neuroanatomical measures that are most sensitive to disease progression and to the potential effects of drug treatment, we will be identifying measures likely to be sensitive to the disease-altering effects of other therapeutic approaches to be developed in the future. PRELIMINARY STUDIES Discrimination of Subjects with Very Mild DAT and Controls Using Neuroanatomical Markers To select neuroanatomical markers optimal for tracking the progression of disease in patients with DAT, one can first determine which neuroanatomical markers discriminate patients with early forms of DAT from controls. In our first study of this kind, we compared 18 subjects with very mild DAT and 18 elderly controls matched for age and gender using measures of hippocampal volume and shape generated by HDBM-LD (Csernansky, et al, 2000). The elderly subjects were categorized as having either very mild DAT (i.e. CDR 0.5) or no dementia (i.e., CDR 0) using the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR) (Morris, 1993). MR scans from a younger control group previously recruited for a study of schizophrenia (Csernansky, et al, 1998) were included so that we could also assess the effects of aging alone on hippocampal structure. Measures of hippocampal volume and shape both discriminated the CDR 0.5 and CDR 0 subjects. There was no significant difference in hippocampal volume between the elder non-demented subjects and the younger control subjects; however, the shape of the hippocampus also discriminated these two groups. Interestingly, the patterns of hippocampal shape deformation that discriminated CDR 0.5 and CDR 0 subjects and the CDR 0 subjects from younger controls were markedly different, indicating that the neurobiological effects of early DAT and healthy aging on hippocampal structure were distinct. 5 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 Figure 1. Visualizing the pattern of hippocampal surface deformation associated with DAT. The left and right hippocampi are viewed from above and to the right of the paired structures. The structure seen represents the com- posite hippocampus of the non-demented subjects and the shading indicates the degree of displacement of the hippocam- pal surface that was present in the DAT subjects (cooler colors (e.g. blue) represent inward deformation and warmer colors represent outward deformation). Areas of blue shading indicate regions of the hippocampal surface where there is localized volume loss (i.e., inward deformation) in the DAT subjects. R L We have recently replicated the results of our first study of hippocampal structure in DAT in a larger, non- overlapping group of 46 subjects with DAT and 65 non-demented controls (Csernansky, et al, in preparation). The DAT and non-demented subjects were again matched with regard to gender (20/26 [m/f] for the DAT subjects and 19/46 [m/f] for the non-demented subjects) and age (mean (SD) 74.6 (7.9) years for the DAT subjects and 78.2 (7.7) years for the non-demented subjects). The mean (SD) sum-of-box score derived from the CDR was 4.05 (2.04) for the DAT subjects, indicating that the subjects had very mild-to-mild dementia. The non-demented subjects had a mean (SD) hippocampal volume of 2142 mm3 (344) on the left and 2588 mm3 (416) on the right, while the DAT subjects had a mean (SD) hippocampal volume of 1833 mm3 (359) on the left and 2242 mm3 (462) on the right. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the difference in hippocampal volumes between these two subject groups was highly significant (F = 21.38, df = 1,109, p < .0001). As in our first study (Csernansky, et al, 2000), the difference in hippocampal shape between the two groups was evaluated using eigenvectors derived from the HDBM-LD transformations (see Research Design and Methods for further explanation). The first 20 eigenvectors explained 87.5% of the variance in hippocampal shape, and a MANOVA using these variables revealed a significant group difference (F = 3.34, df = 20,90, p < .0001). Moreover, in a "leave-one-out" (jackknife) discriminant function analysis, 56 of the 65 non-demented subjects (86% sensitivity) and 36 of 46 DAT subjects could be correctly classified (78% specificity). In this study, the group discrimination achieved by hippo-campal shape information alone was equivalent to the discrimination achieved when both hippocampal volume and shape information was used. Not surprisingly, eigenvector 1 was correlated with both left (rho = .69, p < .0001) and right (rho = .69, p < .0001) hippocampal volumes. The pattern of hippocampal shape abnormality found in these DAT subjects (see Figure 1) was highly similar to the pattern of deformity we observed in our first study (Csernansky, et al, 2000), and again showed inward deformation of the head and lateral prominence of the hippocampus. This pattern of hippocampal deformation is highly consistent with patterns of plaque and tangle deposition in the CA1 hippocampal subfield observed in post-mortem studies of AD (Arnold, et al, 1991; Price and Morris, 1999). Assessment of Disease Progression Using Neuroanatomical Markers During the first funding period, we completed a longitudinal study comparing changes in hippocampal structure in CDR 0.5 and CDR 0 subjects matched for age and gender over approximately two years (mean interval in years (range) - CDR 0.5 – 2.0 (1.0-2.6) and CDR 0 subjects– 2.2 (1.4-4.1) (Wang, et al, 2003). The results of this study are critical for this application, as they demonstrate that our approach to assessing disease progression can discriminate between subjects with and without DAT, and so may also be sensitive to differences between groups of DAT patients treated with different drugs. This study included 18 CDR 0.5 subjects and 26 CDR 0 subjects that were partially overlapping with the subjects included in our previously published cross-sectional study (Csernansky, et al, 2000). The 18 CDR 0.5 subjects were not treated with cholinesterase inhibitors or memantine during the period of study. Measures of hippocampal shape and 6 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 R L CDR 0.5 CDR 0 Figure 2. Comparisons from Baseline to Follow-up (two years) in CDR 0.5 and CDR 0 Elder Subjects. Displacement maps were used to visualize the across-time difference in hippo- campal structure in the two sub- ject groups. Cooler colors (blue to purple) signify areas of inward deformation over time. In the CDR 0.5 subjects, areas of inward deformation were more wide- spread and included more of the lateral edge of the hippocampus, while in the CDR 0 subjects, areas of inward deformation were smaller and confined to the head f h hi volume were generated across both groups and time as in the cross-sectional study. At baseline, the CDR 0 subjects had a mean (SD) hippocampal volume of 2081(354) mm3 on the left side and 2600 (481) mm3 on the right side, while the CDR 0.5 subjects had a mean hippocampal volume of 1717 (224 mm3) on the left side and 2186 (370 mm3) on the right side. At follow-up, the CDR 0 subjects showed a hippocampal volume reduction of 82 mm3 on the left side and 142 mm3 on the right side, while the CDR 0.5 subjects showed a hippocampal volume reduction of 164 mm3 on the left side and 236 mm3 on the right side. ANOVA indicated a significant group effect on the rate of hippocampal volume loss (F = 7.81, df = 1,42, p = 0.008). This difference persisted after covarying hippocampal volumes for total cerebral brain volume (p = 0.007), total intra-cranial volume (p = 0.008) and scan interval (p = 0.015). There was also a group difference in the rate of progression of hippocampal shape deformity. The first 12 eigenvectors explained 75% of the variance in hippocampal shape, and using these 12 eigenvectors as variables in a MANOVA, we found a significant group effect (F = 2.66, df = 12,31, p = 0.014; effect size = 2.0). In a follow-up logistic regression analysis, the combination of eigenvectors 1, 2, 4, and 11 were found to be optimally useful for discriminating the patterns of hippocampal shape change in the two groups of subjects (χ2 = 19.4). Using these four eigenvectors, a significant group x time interaction was found (F = 7.81, df = 4,39, p < 0.008), and in a “take-one- out'' discriminant function analysis, 22 out of 26 (84.6%) CDR 0 subjects and 15 out of 18 (83.3%) CDR 0.5 subjects were correctly classified. When hippocampal volume change was included in this logistic regression analysis, only eigenvectors 2, 4, and 11 were selected (χ2=20.1) (eigenvector 1 was again correlated with the change in hippocampal volume across subject groups - r = - 0.75, p < 0.0001). Visualization of the changes in the shape of the hippocampus in the two groups revealed that areas of inward deformities over time were more widespread in the CDR 0.5 than in the CDR 0 subjects (see Figure 2). Hippocampal Shape Predicts Response to Donepezil A major objective during the first funding period was to test the hypothesis that an assessment of hippocampal structure could be used to predict the outcome of donepezil treatment in DAT patients. As proposed in our original application, estimates of cognitive decline over time were generated using CDR sum of-boxes scores, ADAS-Cog total scores, MMSE total scores and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) total scores (see Research Design and Methods section below for more description of these measures). Fifty-one subjects with DAT were included in this analysis and, to date, data were available for a minimum of 48 weeks in 38 subjects (this trial will be completed in the final year of the present funding period). In almost all cases, the subjects had been treated with donepezil, 10 mg/day, for the period of study – in rare subjects that could not tolerate this dose of donepezil, 5 mg/ day, was used. In addition, we included data from 65 non-demented subjects (CDR 0) in the analysis, so that we could evaluate variation in hippocampal shape related to drug response in the context of normative structure. To estimate the rate of annual change in the selected clinical measures, a slope value was calculated for each subject using a growth curve model (Laird and Ware, 1982). The mean (SD) annual rate of change for the sum-of-boxes scores was 0.13 (± 0.11, range -0.06 to +0.41) per year. Other mean (SD) annual rates of change were as follows: ADAS-Cog total score - 0.15 (± 0.29, range -0.29 to +1.32); MMSE total score - -0.084 (± 0.17, range - -0.61 to +0.16); the NPI total score - +0.027 (± 0.06, range -0.03 to +0.37). Thus, in general, mild deterioration was observed in the DAT subjects 7 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 Figure 3. Pattern of Hippo- campal Shape Variation Correlated with the Outcome of Donepezil Treatment. The two panels illustrate the extremes of hippocampal shape variation in eigenvector 3, that were characteristic of DAT subjects who showed clinical worsening (top panel) and improvement (bottom panel) during donepezil treatment. Cooler colors (blue to purple) signify areas of inward deformation and warmer colors signify areas of outward deformation relative to the mean shape of all subjects. R L R treated with donepezil (i.e., slopes for sum-of-boxes scores, ADAS-Cog and NPI scores were positive, while MMSE slopes were negative). Hippocampal volumes, total cerebral volumes and total intracranial volumes were not significantly correlated with any of the measures of cognitive decline. However, among the first 10 eigenvectors (which explained > 80% of the variance in hippocampal shape), eigenvector 3 coefficients were correlated with two measures of the rate of cognitive decline. More negative eigenvector 3 coefficient values were significantly correlated with increasing sum-of-boxes slope values (r = -0.34, p = 0.03, two-tailed) and with increasing NPI slope values (r = -0.31, p = 0.05, two-tailed). A trend correlation was observed between more negative eigenvector 3 coefficient values and decreasing MMSE total scores (r = 0.29, p = 0.07, two-tailed), but no correlation was observed between eigenvector 3 coefficient values and ADAS-Cog total scores (r = -0.11, p = .50, two-tailed). These correlations were unchanged after taking into account total cerebral brain volume, total intracranial volume, and age. The pattern of hippocampal shape variation represented by eigenvector 3 is shown in Figure 3. The pattern of shape variation associated with greater cognitive decline during donepezil treatment was similar to the pattern of shape deformation previously shown to discriminate CDR 0.5 and CDR 0 subjects (see Figure 1), and to be associated with disease progression changes CDR 0.5 subjects over time (see Figure 2) (i.e., inward deformation of the lateral prominence of the hippocampus). In turn, the relative absence of this pattern of deformation in hippocampal shape was associated a more favorable outcome during donepezil treatment. These results suggest that hippocampal shape may be a predictor of the capacity of DAT patients to respond to donepezil. STUDY DESIGN Clinical data and digital MR scans from the Specific Aims of this study will be de-identified and obtained for analysis from the clinical database maintained by the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) at Washington University via an electronically secure file transfer protocol (ftp). At Northwestern University, the data will be downloaded to a Pentium D based PC managed by Dr. Lei Wang. The data will be physically secure and will have continuous power via a UPS and connection to an emergency power supply. The NMFF’s internet security system secures its network from the Internet via firewalls and a network intrusion detection system. Analysis of the data will be conducted by the Principle and Co-investigator. The confidentiality of the participants at Washington University will be protected as indicated in the “Code Access Agreement” signed by the PI and Washington University personnel such that Northwestern University personnel will not have access to subject identifiers or a master code list under any circumstances (see attached code access agreement). Specific Aims 1& 2 - Monitoring Disease Progression During Treatment with Donepezil and Memantine in Subjects with Very Mild-to-Mild DAT a. Overall Design and Source of Subjects. Changes in specific neuroanatomical markers will be compared over a two year period in four groups of subjects – Group 1) subjects with very mild (CDR 0.5) to mild (CDR 1) DAT that are untreated with either cholinesterase inhibitors or memantine, Group 2) subjects with very mild (CDR 0.5) to mild (CDR 1) DAT that are treated with donepezil, Group 3) subjects with R L 8 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 very mild (CDR 0.5) to mild (CDR 1) DAT that are treated with the combination of donepezil and memantine, and Group 4) nondemented comparison subjects. MR scans and clinical data from Group 1 and Group 4 subjects will be obtained from the clinical database and MR image archive maintained by the ADRC at Washington University. The ADRC is directed by Dr. John Morris, who is also a Co-Investigator on this project. At present, repeat MR scans and clinical data are available for 21 Group 1 subjects and 44 Group 4 subjects. MR scans and clinical data from Group 2 subjects will be obtained from data collected during the initial funding period of this project. At present, complete sets of clinical data and repeat MR scans are available for 38 such subjects; however, 9 additional subjects are still completing the protocol – thus, the total number of Group 2 subjects could be as high as 47. Finally, repeat MR scans and clinical data from Group 3 subjects will be obtained during the proposed funding period of the project. Specifically, we propose to treat 50 new DAT subjects with the combination of memantine and donepezil during the proposed funding period, and again projecting an attrition rate of approximately 20% (see Data Analysis section below), this plan should yield approximately 40 Group 3 subjects for data analysis. New subjects to be studied during the proposed funding period will be recruited from DAT patients enrolled at the Memory Diagnostic Center (MDC) at Washington University School of Medicine, also directed by Drs. John C. Morris and James Galvin. These subjects are referred to the MDC from community neurologists and from the ADRC at Washington University. Presently, MDC patients are prescribed donepezil as the cholinesterase inhibitor of first choice, because of its tolerability and ease of use (single daily dosing). Other cholinesterase inhibitors are offered only if the patient cannot tolerate donepezil or has a strong personal preference. A New Drug Application for memantine was submitted to the FDA in January of 2003, and memantine was approved for use in October, 2003. In February, 2003, the drug was distributed to U.S. pharmacies, and launch occurred in March, 2003. Thus, memantine will be clinically available in advance of the beginning of the proposed study. The MDC has evaluated the data available for memantine and plans to use this new drug almost exclusively as an adjunctive agent to donepezil (John Morris, M.D., personal communication). Clinical diagnostic criteria for DAT at the ADRC and MDC at Washington University correspond to those established by the NINCDS-ADRDA Work Group (McKhann, et al, 1984), and have a 93% accuracy for the histopathological presence of AD at autopsy (Morris, et al, 1996; Berg, et al, 1998). All subjects are assessed annually using clinical, psychometric, and behavioral measures that are valid for the detection of very mild stages of DAT (Berg, et al, 1998). The clinical measures include staging of dementia severity using the CDR (Morris, 1993). Treatment will be administered in this study in an open-label fashion. All DAT subjects selected for this study will already have been selected for donepezil therapy alone or the combination of donepezil and memantine, regardless of their participation in the proposed study. Therefore, randomization to a lesser form of drug therapy or placebo would be below the standard of care and therefore unethical (Kawas, et al, 1999; Knopman, et al, 1998). Also, by selecting subjects for this study who have already been identified as candidates for drug therapy, our sample should be representative of clinical populations prescribed such treatments. All clinical evaluations will be performed blind to the results of neuroanatomical assessments. Therefore, no systematic bias will be introduced related to our main hypotheses involving correlations between the results of these biological assessments and treatment response. Subjects will be excluded from this study if they have already had a substantial period of treatment (i.e., more than 8 weeks) with a cholinesterase inhibitor. Vitamin E treatment (400-800 U/day), non-steroidal drugs and Cox-2 inhibitor drugs will be permitted during the treatment period, since this situation is typical of clinical settings in which cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine are administered, so long as the doses of these treatments remain constant throughout the treatment period. However, other drug treatments under investigation for their efficacy in DAT will not be permitted during the treatment period. Prior to initiation of treatment, all subjects will undergo a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation using NINCDS-ADRDA criteria (McKhann, et al, 1984), as well as the CDR (Morris, 1993), the Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS; Rosen, et al, 1984), which includes a concise battery of cognitive tests (i.e., the ADAS-Cog), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE; Folstein, et al, 1975), and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), to assess the severity of dementia and behavioral symptoms related to dementia. Emergent 9 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 side-effects of donepezil and memantine treatment will be recorded using an instrument standard to clinical trials (Treatment Emergent Side-effect Scale [TESS]). Drug treatment will begin with 5 mg/day of donepezil for six weeks. After six weeks of such treatment, the subjects’ symptoms will be re-evaluated and any side-effects of treatment assessed and recorded. If no serious side-effects of donepezil are encountered, the dose of donepezil will be increased to 10 mg/day. For subjects prescribed the combination of donepezil and memantine, memantine (20 mg/day) will be added to the drug treatment regimen after the dose of donepezil has been established (i.e., at six weeks). Again, memantine will be initially started at 10 mg/day and increased to its full dose only if no serious side-effects are encountered. Subsequent evaluations will then be performed every 12 weeks for two years. All evaluations after 6 weeks will include the complete set of clinical and cognitive (i.e., ADAS-Cog) assessments, and a full diagnostic evaluation will be repeated annually (see Flowchart below). MR scans will be collected at baseline and after two years of treatment for all subjects who complete the entire period of treatment. For any subject that discontinues their participation in the study prematurely, the second MR scan will be collected at that time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Clinical Trial Flowchart Baseline Six Weeks 12 Weeks Every 12 Weeks For Two Years Donepezil     Donepezil                      (5 mg/d) (5 to 10 mg/d) Memantine                      (10 to 20 mg/d) Diagnosis Repeat Diagnosis at 1 and 2 Yrs CDR CDR CDR CDR ADAS-Cog ADAS-Cog ADAS-Cog ADAS-Cog MMSE MMSE MMSE MMSE NPI NPI NPI NPI TESS TESS TESS MRI Repeat MRI at 2 Yrs _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Subjects will be selected for this study if they meet NINCDS-ADRDA criteria for DAT at baseline (McKhann, et al, 1984), and have a score of 0.5 or 1 on the CDR (Morris, 1993). Subjects who no longer meet diagnostic criteria for DAT after one or two years of treatment, or who are diagnosed with another dementing illness, will still be followed for the remainder of the study, but their data will be evaluated separately from those subjects who continue to meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based upon our prior experience with this population of subjects in the ADRC (Berg, et al, 1992), we expect such changes in diagnosis to be rare. The great majority of DAT subjects rated as 0.5 or 1 using the CDR are proven at autopsy to show the neuropathological signs of AD (Morris, et al, 1996; Berg, et al, 1998). Although it is possible that there will be subjects whose symptoms progress to the point where they can no longer be evaluated, this again should be rare given the demonstrated reliability and validity of the CDR across a wide range of severity of dementia symptoms (Berg, et al, 1992; Morris, et al, 1993). Inclusion Criteria: 1) meets NINCDS-ADRDA criteria for DAT, 2) CDR score of 0.5 or 1, 3) 50-80 years of age, 4) able to give informed consent or has a primary caregiver or legal guardian, who can give informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1) other psychiatric (e.g., depression) or neurological (e.g., CVA) disorders that would confound the assessment of dementia symptoms, 2) history of loss of consciousness, and 3) unstable or severe 10 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 medical illness (e.g., hepatotoxicity) that would make donepezil or memantine treatment or participation in other aspects of the study unsafe. b. Selection of Instruments for Clinical Evaluation Total sum-of-box scores from the CDR (Morris, 1993) will be used as the primary outcome measure. In our prior long-term studies (i.e., 4 to 10 years) of DAT subjects with very mild-to-mild DAT (i.e., CDR 0.5 to CDR 1), sum-of-boxes scores have been shown to be highly sensitive to disease progression and to have minimal ceiling or floor effects (Berg, et al, 1988; Berg, et al, 1992). In addition, so that the results of this study can be compared with large clinical treatment trials of DAT subjects, ADAS-Cog scores, total MMSE scores and total NPI scores will be used as secondary outcome measures (see below). To perform the CDR, a clinician trained in its use rates the subject’s cognitive abilities and function in six categories: memory, orientation, judgment and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies, and personal care. Impairment is rated 0-5 in the direction of increasing severity in each of these categories or boxes. The sum of these box scores is then compiled to yield CDR scores as follows: CDR 0 (no dementia); CDR 0.5 (very mild dementia); CDR 1 (mild dementia); CDR 2 (moderate dementia); and CDR 3 (severe dementia). Interrater reliability for the CDR is very high (Burke, et al, 1988), and subjects categorized with DAT over time using the CDR, including the CDR 0.5 category, are confirmed at autopsy as having AD with 96% accuracy (Morris, et al, 1988; Morris, et al, 1991; Berg and Morris, 1994). Clinicians at our Center all routinely receive extensive training in the use of the CDR, and interrater reliability is routinely monitored. Finally, sum-of-boxes scores have been shown to be a highly useful an index of dementia severity over time (Berg, et al, 1988; Berg, et al, 1992). In a study of 68 DAT subjects with beginning CDR scores of 0.5 or 1 followed for 4 to 10 years, sum-of-boxes scores declined in a relatively linear fashion and had very few ceiling or floor effects (i.e., all 68 DAT subjects could be rated using this measure at baseline and 24 months later) (Berg, et al, 1992). As mentioned above, the ADAS-Cog (Rosen, et al, 1984), the MMSE total score (Folstein, et al, 1975), and the NPI will be used as secondary outcome measures. These measures have been previously used in treatment trials of DAT subjects as both primary and secondary measures of symptom severity, and have been demonstrated to be sensitive to the effects of cholinesterase inhibitors (Farlow, et al, 1998; Rogers, et al, 1996) and memantine (Reisberg, et al, 2003). c. Neuroanatomical Rules for Brain Structure Boundaries The hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus and cingulate gyrus have been selected as the neuroanatomical variables to be assessed during the proposed funding period based on a review of the literature and our own prior results. Explicit neuroanatomical rules were used to define the boundaries of these brain structures. To generate templates, structural boundaries were outlined using semiautomated routines that combine autotracing and manual tracing techniques available in AnalyzeTM. AnalyzeTM permits the simultaneous viewing of any point in the scan from three orthogonal planes. Autotracing functions encircle a selected region of uniform density by enclosing all contiguous pixels of similar density. The selection of tissue of a particular density is then achieved by setting thresholds that define the brightness of the pixels in the area of interest. Surrounding tissue of a different density (threshold) is deleted from the picture, leaving only the tissue of interest. When autotracing fails to segment tissues of similar density, the tissue is manually traced. d. MR Scanning Protocols and Image Preprocessing MR scans will be collected at the baseline assessment and after two years using a 1.5T VISION system (Siemens Medical Systems) with a UNIX based host computer (Sun Microsystems), actively shielded gradients, and echo-planar capability. Subjects will be positioned on the table with their canthomeatal line perpendicular to the table; head position stability is facilitated with adjustable cushioned head supports. A standardization object is placed in the field of view on the left side of the head for each MR scan. Prior to the scan, the 11 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 procedure is explained in detail to each subject, and techniques to tolerate small spaces and avoid claustrophobia are described. The MRI scans do not involve the administration of any contrast agent. All MR scans will be acquired using a turbo-FLASH sequence (TR=20, TE=5.4, Flip angle=30o ACQ-1, Matrix=256X256, Scanning time=13.5 minutes), that 3D datasets with 1 mm x 1 mm x 1 mm isotropic resolution across the entire cranium (Venkatesan and Haacke, 1997). A 2D set of proton density and T2 weighted images with standard 5-mm thicknesses will also be acquired for clinical interpretation of any unsuspected disease conditions, and to assess the number of white matter hyperintensities in each subject. Dr. Tom Conturo, Associate Professor of Radiology, oversees MR scan acquisition at Washington University School of Medicine, and together with his team, monitors scanner drift on a daily basis. Frequency, receiver gain, reference transmitter voltage, and signal-to-noise are examined. Phantoms of known dimensions are imaged and the gradient calibration is checked to make certain the correct size is registered. Protocols are also employed to check for ghosting artifacts. Further tests and calibration adjustments are performed when needed. Shims are used when needed to correct for field inhomogeneities. For image analysis, the raw MR data are transferred to a SGI workstation at Washington University where 3D reconstructions of brains are obtained using AnalyzeTM software (Rochester, MN). MR data files are identified by number only to maintain blind conditions for image analysis. Because the turbo-FLASH MR sequence yields 1 mm isotropic voxels, rescaling to correct discrepancies due to voxel isotropy is not necessary. Signed 16 bit MR datasets are compressed to unsigned 8 bit MR datasets by linearly rescaling the voxel intensities, such that voxels with intensity levels at two standard deviations above the white matter mean (corpus callosum) are mapped to 255, and voxels with intensity levels at two standard deviations below the CSF mean (third ventricle) are mapped to 0. As a final step in the preprocessing of MR images, neuroanatomical landmarks are placed by Dr. Lei Wang. In each scan, twelve landmarks are placed at the external boundaries of the brain, and at the points where the anterior and posterior commissures intersect the midsagittal plane (Haller, et al, 1997). Additional landmarks are also placed at selected points along the principal axis of the hippocampus (Csernansky, et al, 1998). i) Hippocampus. The most posterior slice containing the hippocampus is defined when the hippocampus first appears adjacent to the trigone of the lateral ventricle. A narrow band of gray matter along the medial aspect of the trigone opens to a thicker complex of gray matter and is separated from the trigone by a strip of white matter, i.e., the junction of the fimbria and fornix. The coronal slice shows an elongated gray matter shape because of the transverse orientation of the hippocampal tail. This complex is the cornu ammonis (CA), dentate gyrus and subiculum. It is difficult to select a point of separation between the CA and the subiculum because the superior component of the CA does not extend medially far enough to be the landmark of the medial border of the hippocampus, the inferior component of CA is continuous with the subiculum, and there is no gross anatomical separation of the subiculum, presubiculum, and parasubiculum, the lattermost being part of the parahippocampal gyrus. For these reasons, the subiculum and CA are combined in the volume called hippocampus, as has been done by others (Shenton, et al, 1992), and the inferior border of the CA-subiculum is continued medially with a straight horizontal line across the cortex of the parahippocampal gyrus. The cortex below this line is thus considered the parahippocampal gyrus, and the cortex above this line the hippocampus. Progressing anteriorly from the tail, the orientation of the hippocampus changes from the medial-to-lateral alignment of the tail to the posterior-to-anterior alignment of the body. Thus, the body is cross-sectioned in the coronal slices perpendicular to its long axis, and appears to be divided by the white matter of the fimbria into a lower part that is the CA-subiculum and an upper part formed by the tail of the caudate nucleus. The thalamus appears medial and superior to the CA-subiculum complex. The thalamus and caudate nucleus form the superior borders of the hippocampus in its posterior aspect. The white matter boundary (alveus and fimbria) between the hippocampus and caudate nucleus as well as any CSF lateral to the hippocampus is not included. The superior and lateral borders of the hippocampal body and head are identified by the contrast against the white matter or CSF. Vessels at the medial aspect of the hippocampus are excluded from the hippocampus. Where the amygdala appears at the superior boundary of the hippocampal head, it as well as the white matter boundary are excluded. However, the vertical digitation of the hippocampal 12 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 head which curves up and medial to the amygdala in coronal sections is included. The separation of the amygdala and hippocampus is best achieved by viewing sagittal and transverse sections. ii) Parahippocampal Gyrus (including entorhinal cortex). Delineation of the structure is made primarily using MR slices oriented in the coronal plane, perpendicular to the AC-PC line. Posteriorly, the parahippocampal gyrus blends imperceptibly with the lingual gyrus of the occipital lobe. It is well known that temporo-occipital separation is not definable. Therefore, the posterior limit of the parahippocampal gyrus is defined as the anterior end of the calcarine sulcus. The same coronal section also defines the posterior limit of the cingulate gyrus, and the parahippocampal gyrus is situated between the notch of the calcarine sulcus below and the cingulate gyrus above. Moving anteriorly, in coronal sections, the parahippocampal gyrus is limited by the subiculum medially and the collateral sulcus laterally. The anterior limit is defined by the rhinal sulcus which runs from lateral to medial, separating the parahippocampal gyrus from the temporal pole. The rhinal sulcus is identified in the axial section that shows the amygdala, head of hippocampus and uncal recess of the temporal horn. The sweep of the ambient gyrus over the medial aspect of amygdala in the axial section ends at a notch where the temporal pole begins. This notch is the rhinal sulcus. In coronal sections anterior to the amygdala, the superior limit of the parahippocampal gyrus is defined as the inflection point of the white matter at the inferior border of the gray matter of the amygdala. iii) Cingulate Gyrus. The cingulate gyrus is delimited at its ventral aspect by the callosal sulcus, which separates it from the corpus callosum. Dorsally, it is delimited by the cingulate sulcus. Delineation of the structure is made primarily from MR slices oriented in the coronal plane, perpendicular to the AC-PC line. The cingulate gyrus can be separated into anterior and posterior segments. The posterior limit of the anterior cingulate gyrus is taken to be in the coronal section perpendicular to the midpoint of the AC-PC line. As the cingulate gyrus extends anteriorly and wraps around the genu and rostrum of the corpus callosum, it tapers off gradually. Therefore, the anterior limit of the anterior cingulate gyrus is defined as the most rostral coronal section through the septum pellucidum, and the medial limit of the cingulate gyrus is the cortical surface in the interhemispheric fissure. The superior limit of the cingulate gyrus is the cortical surface forming the inferior bank of the cingulate sulcus (the superior bank being the superior frontal gyrus). This surface extends horizontally in a lateral direction to the fundus of the cingulate gyrus. At this point, a straight horizontal line is drawn through the thickness of the cortex to indicate the separation of the cingulate gyrus and superior frontal gyrus. From the lateral end of this horizontal line in the deep limit of the cortex, a straight line is drawn to the lateral limit of the cortex abutting the superior surface of the corpus callosum and separated from it by the callosal sulcus. The inferior limit of the cingulate gyrus is the inferior surface of the cortex forming the superior bank of the callosal surface (the inferior bank being the corpus callosum). The posterior cingulate gyrus wraps around the splenium of the corpus callosum. In the coronal sections which run through the posterior end of thalamus, the anterior limit of the sub-splenium segment of the cingulate gyrus is defined as the most rostral extent through the anterior end of the calcarine sulcus. Indeed, the same coronal section also defines the posterior limit of the parahippocampal gyrus (see above). The posterior cingulate gyrus then starts at the anterior end of the calcarine sulcus, moving posteriorly, follow its bank until reaching the bifurcation point where the calcarine sulcus branches into the posterior calcarine sulcus and the parietal-occipital sulcus. A straight line is then drawn from this point upwards to the nearest point on the sub- parietal sulcus. The cortex below this line is also delineated as the cingulate gyrus. The posterior cingulate gyrus follows the bank of sub-parietal sulcus as it traces out a curve parallel to the corpus callosum (and the brain derma). The lateral extent of the posterior cingulate follows the upper bank of the calcarine sulcus. e. Large Deformation High Dimensional Brain Mapping (HDBM-LD) to Assess the Volume and Shape of the Hippocampus MR scans from different subject groups or from the same subject group at different points in time will be used to construct and compare composite volumes and shape representations. In statistical terms, these representations reflect the coordinate systems of the scans for the subject groups or time points that are associated with the smallest average squared error. In practical terms, these representations allow us to generate 13 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 automatic volume measurements of selected brain structures and to quantify neuroanatomical shapes. Composite representations for the subject groups are first created by forming the MR scans from the subject groups or time points into sets. Composite coordinate systems for the various sets of scans are then calculated by finding the correspondence of the coordinate system of each of the members of each group with a standard coordinate system. The composite coordinate system most representative of each population is then constructed from the average of these correspondences. This approach relies fundamentally on our ability to calculate the correspondence of highly variable MR images with a common coordinate system. Since the earliest introduction of our brain mapping methods (Miller, et al, 1993; Christensen, et al, 1994; Grenander and Miller, 1994), we have studied the variability of mammalian brain anatomy by generating smooth correspondences (i.e. maps) from a single template onto families of target images. In our approach, the template represents the typical structure. Anatomical variation is then accommodated by performing transformations of the coordinate system of the template. The translation of every point in the template allows us to change the coordinate system in as many ways as there are points in the coordinate system (i.e. the number of voxels in the MR image). It is the high dimensionality of these transformations that differentiates our method from other mapping algorithms, and allows for the analysis of subtle characteristics of shape in small brain structures. Our method uses a coarse-to-fine approach that fuses the elegant landmark work of Bookstein (Bookstein and Green, 1992; Bookstein, 1978) with the pioneering volume-based deformation work of Bajcsy and colleagues (Bajcsy, et al, 1983; Dann, et al, 1989), but extends these methods to accommodate local deformations so that the precise shape of brain structures can be studied. The importance of this innovation is that it allows neuroanatomists to embed information into brain maps that is optimally meaningful with regard to subtle anatomical variation. To help ensure that the transformations preserve key features of brain geometry (e.g. unbroken gyral surfaces), we force the transformations to obey physical laws of elasticity and fluidity. The continuum mechanics-based mathematical derivations that correspond to these constraints may be found in several previously published works (Grenander, et al, 1992; Miller, et al, 1993; Christensen, et al, 1994 and 1995; Grenander and Miller, 1994; Joshi, et al, 1997; Miller, et al, 1997). There are limitations to any method, including HDBM-LD. First, our methods depend heavily on the quality of the gray scale image data. Currently, we are using the state-of-the-art high resolution MR images; however, as better resolution scanning sequences become available, we will employ them and very likely increase the precision of our assessments. Also, non-uniformities in the MR image data due to poor calibration and field inhomogeneities may result in mismatches of gray and white matter, because our current tools are not driven solely by information about geometric structure. We have worked hard to control these sources of error using conventional strategies. In addition, we have recently begun to develop transformation tools, which are driven solely by geometry and will therefore be invariant to non-uniformities in the MR images. Second, our methods are not entirely automatic, and the expertise of the expert neuroanatomist continues to play a key role. The expert creates the information in the template, and landmarks placed by experts may bias the initial manifold transformations. However, as regards the hippocampus, we have shown (see Haller, et al, 1997) that the transformations are robust to this potential source of error (i.e. the automatic results were more repeatable than the results obtained from manual outlining). Another potential limitation of our methods is that we make the assumption that the anatomies in the template and targets are diffeomorphic. Diffeomorphism can be roughly defined as the requirement that an analogous anatomical features can be found in every target and in the template. Moreover, as the transformations occur, the movements of contours and surfaces in the template never intersect. Thus, our mapping algorithms would currently fail if the template or the targets contained non- analogous features (e.g., tumor). The quantification of hippocampal volume and shape using HDBM-LD begins with superimposing a triangulated graph of points onto the gray matter surface of the hippocampus within the template using a computer aided design program for fitting closed surfaces to connected subvolumes. This surface is then treated as a two-dimensional closed manifold and carried along as the template is transformed onto the target MR scans. When the transformations are completed, a vector field and the surface that it represents are generated for each selected brain structure in each of the target scans. Composite surfaces for each structure in each group of subjects are then produced by averaging the individual vector fields generated by the 14 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 transformations. Brain structure volumes are measured in the subject groups by calculating the gray matter volumes enclosed by the transformation-generated surfaces. Quantification of hippocampal shape is performed using the deformation vector fields produced by the transformations. A pooled covariance matrix is first computed using the vector fields from the transformed surfaces in all subjects. This covariance matrix is then reduced in its dimensionality by computing the complete orthonormal set of eigenvectors, and a subset of eigenvectors that accounts for ~75 % of the variance in hippocampal shape is used in group comparisons. Recently, we have adapted these methods to specifically assess the rate of change in hippocampal shape over time (Wang, et al, 2003). From the pairs of MR images collected at different time points, the assessment of a change in the shape of the hippocampus over time is accomplished by mapping the transformations from the first time point onto the second time point via rigid-motion registration (rotation and translation). If no change in the shape of the hippocampus has occurred, the result of this transformation is an identity map (modulo rotation and translation). Conversely, any shape change that has occurred is defined as the deviation of the result of the transformation away from this identity map. To compare shape change in different groups of subjects, the covariance of the resulting transformation vector fields across all subjects is used, and shape change is assessed in each group by 1) obtaining a set of eigenvectors via the singular value decomposition of the covariance matrix, 2) computing coefficients associated with these eigenvectors for each subject, and 3) performing a MANOVA using the eigenvectors across all subjects. A post-hoc logistic regression is used to determine which of the eigenvectors are most discriminating of the groups being compared. Since the covariance of the shape change vector fields is empirical, repeat neuroanatomical data from nondemented (CDR 0) subjects are required in order to account for “normal” shape change during the analysis of shape change associated with DAT and its treatment. f. Methods for Labeled Cortical Depth Mapping (LCDM) of the Parahippocampal and Cingulate Gyri When the brain structure of interest is a subregion of the cerebral cortex (e.g., cingulate or parahippocampal gyrus), it is first necessary to create a segmentation of the various tissues (i.e., gray matter, white matter, and CSF) within that portion of the MR dataset, and in relationship to the geometry of the neocortex. We have recently developed specific algorithms for this purpose (see Figure 5). Construction of the surface between gray and white matter then places us in a position to determine the probabilities of CSF, gray matter and white matter voxels within the segmented subvolume as a function of the closest distance from the voxel to this surface (see embedded surface represented by the yellow line in Figure 5, panel C). Specific algorithms to compute these distances were first developed in Miller, et al (2000), for several types of cortical subvolumes, and then refined by Ratnanather, et al (2003), for specific cortical regions. Figure 5, panel D shows an example of a profile that shows the probabilities of encountering CSF, gray matter and white matter voxels as a function of the distance to the gray matter/white matter surface in a single subject. Figure 5. Computational Algorithms for Assessing the Neuroanatomical Structure of Cortical Subregions. The first step in the assessment of a subregion of the cerebral cortex is tissue segmentation (panel A) followed by identification of the iso-surface between gray and white matter (panel B). The probabilities of voxels at every distance from this surface (yellow line in panel C) is then determined, along with the cumulative probability of accounting for all voxels (panel D). The distance at A C D B 15 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 which a predetermined percentage of voxels are accounted for (e.g., 80%, 90%, etc.) can then be used as an estimate of cortical thickness across the region. Cortical metrics such as gray matter volume and thickness are then generated from the probability profiles. The gray matter volume is equivalent to the cumulative sum of gray matter data in the profile. In turn, graymatter thickness is based on the distances from the gray matter/white matter surface where pre-assigned percentiles of voxels (e.g., 85%, 90% or 95%) are reached. Finally, gray matter surface area is computed by summing up all the triangles of the triangulated graph of the surface within the selected subvolume. g. Assessment of Total Intracranial and Cerebral Volumes Assessment of total intracranial and brain volumes is needed to control for generalized brain volume reduction, as has been reported by some investigators. Mathalon, et al (1993), have examined the issue of correction for head size and brain volume in such circumstances and shown that such corrections decrease unwanted variance while improving the ability to detect meaningful biological variation (e.g. correlations between brain structure volumes and age). A template image is prepared by an expert using manual outlining techniques, and includes, in this case, segmentation data for the total intracranial and brain volumes. The entire MR image of the template is first globally registered with the MR image of each target using a landmark-based transformation and scalar points at the boundaries of the brain and in the midline. An elastic transformation (with eight basis vectors having 2187 basis coefficients) is then performed, which matches the templates for the total intracranial space and total brain to the target. As with the transformations developed to study the hippocampus, the manifold and the elastic transformations used for this measurement are concatenated together and all the anatomical features of the segmented template brain are carried through the transformation. h. Data Analysis To test hypothesis 1 (Decreases in hippocampal and cortical volumes, thinning of the cingulate and parahippocampal cortices, and changes in hippocampal shape will be correlated with the rate of cognitive decline in subjects with very mild-to-mild DAT.), growth curve models will be developed to assess the rate of cognitive decline for the principal (i.e., CDR sum-of-boxes scores) and secondary (i.e., ADAS-cog total scores, MMSE total scores, and NPI total scores) outcome variables (Laird and Ware, 1982). The underlying framework for the Laird and Ware model is essentially the same as for a traditional univariate repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). However, the traditional ANOVA framework is difficult to apply when assessments are not available for all subjects at all time points. We have previously examined the advantages and disadvantages of this statistical model in characterizing rates of cognitive decline in a group of CDR 0.5 and CDR 1 DAT subjects highly similar to the one recruited for this project (Berg, et al, 1992). The CDR sum-of-boxes score was found to be entirely adequate as an outcome variable in that analysis (Berg, et al, 1992), because of its minimal ceiling and floor effects. The Laird and Ware model generates a slope value and intercept (i.e., estimate of baseline severity) for each subject. Variables to assess changes in structural volume, thickness, and shape (for the hippocampus) will be generated as described above. Bivariate correlations between changes in clinical and neuroanatomical variables will be estimated using non-parametric statistics (Spearman’s rho). To assess whether observed bivariate relationships are independent of each other, a stepwise multiple regression model will be developed including all independent neuroanatomical variables and slope values for the CDR sum-of-boxes scores as the dependent variable. To test hypothesis 2 (The rate of decreasing hippocampal and cortical volumes, thinning of the cingulate and parahippocampal cortices, and changing hippocampal shape will be equal in DAT subjects that are untreated and in DAT subjects that are treated with donepezil alone, but greater than the rate of volume loss, thinning and hippocampal shape change in DAT subjects that are treated with the combination of donepezil and 16 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 memantine.), rates of change for the various neuroanatomical variables will be compared in DAT subjects that are untreated, that are treated with donepezil alone, that are treated with the combination of donepezil and memantine, and in nondemented comparison subjects. These analyses will be performed using simple difference scores (follow-up minus baseline) for volume and thickness variables. To compare rates of change in hippocampal shape across groups, a MANOVA using eigenvectors derived from the time 1-to-time 2 transformation covariance will be performed (see above). The distributional characteristics of each of these variables will be examined prior to hypothesis testing. Finally, non-parametric (Wilcoxon rank sum tests) statistics will be used to compare the groups. i. Sample Size and Power Considerations Based upon previous work by our group in similar groups of CDR 0.5 and CDR 1 DAT subjects (Berg, et al, 1988; Berg, et al, 1992), and on our experience with the subjects recruited and studied during the initial funding period, we estimate that the attrition rate of subjects who cannot continue in the study for the full two years due to pronounced deterioration, drug side-effects, or refusal to participate will be approximately 20% or less, leaving at least 40 subjects who would provide data for the entire two-year period. However, the number of subjects entered into the analysis may exceed this somewhat, since a slope value can be estimated for each subject who remains in the treatment trial for at least five assessments (one year). Estimating 40 subjects are used in the analysis used to test Hypothesis 1, we will have a power of .80 to detect a correlation (or partial correlation) of .44 or more with a 2-tailed significance level of .05 (Borenstein and Cohen, 1988; Kraemer and Thiemann, 1987). For the testing of Hypothesis 2, we will be measuring the rate of change of neuroanatomical variables over time; therefore, the test-retest reliability for these variables must be high. To estimate the normative test-retest reliability of the neuroanatomical measures proposed in this application, we scanned eight healthy control subjects on two separate occasions approximately one month apart, and then estimated differences between volumes and surface contours of the hippocampus. At the first time point, the mean left hippocampal volume was 2,233 mm3 and the mean right hippocampal volume was 2,699 mm3; at the second time point, these volumes were 2,209 and 2,686 mm3, respectively. Using repeated measures ANOVA, there were no significant test-retest differences in these volumes (on the left F = .14, p = .72; on the right F = .07, p = .80) and the intraclass correlation coefficient between these two datasets was very high (ICC = 0.93). To compare the similarity of surface contours at the two time points, we then registered all the scans with respect to the template and then calculated the percent overlap of voxels. The average percent overlap in the eight subjects was 87.4%, which is comparable to the overlap achieved by a single expert performing repeated manual segmentations of the hippocampus from the same MR scan (Haller, et al, 1997). To the test the reliability of shape assessment for the hippocampus, we generated the eigenvectors associated with this brain structure based on the eight control subjects at time point 1. The coefficients associated with these eigenvectors were then computed for each subject at both time 1 and time 2. The mean ICC for all eigenvector coefficients was very high - 0.89 (range of 0.83 to 0.94), suggesting very high repeatability. Finally, the standard deviation for the estimation of hippocampal volumes on the two occasions was 225 mm3, and an annual rate of decrease in hippocampal volumes was 2 mm3. Assuming that the between-group effect size for comparisons of the rate of change of neuroanatomical variables is moderate (i.e., 0.5 or higher), and if the correlations in neuromorphometric measures within our proposed sample sizes at the different time points continue to be high (i.e., > .75), changes in brain structure shapes of the magnitude observed to date (see Progress Report and Wang, et al, 2003), and volume decreases of 50 mm3 or greater over two years, would be detectable with greater than 85% power (Borenstein and Cohen, 1988; Kraemer and Thiemann, 1987). HUMAN SUBJECTS 50 new subjects who meet NINDS-ADRDA criteria for probable AD (i.e. DAT), and who have been registered with the MDC for treatment will be recruited for participation in the project during the proposed 17 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 funding period. The age range of the subjects will be 50 to 80 years. Any subjects will be excluded if they have medical problems that would contraindicate treatment with donepezil or memantine or make administration of a MR scan or any other aspect of the protocol hazardous. With regard to the inclusion of both genders and various minorities, the samples will be equally balanced for gender and include approximately 15% African-American subjects. This percentage is similar to the distribution of African-Americans who present to the ADRC and MDC. This distribution of subjects should also allow inclusion of gender as a covariate in data analyses. 2. Collected clinical data will include information about demographics, dementia symptoms, other behavioral disturbances, and performance on tests of cognition (i.e., the ADAS-Cog). In all cases, verbal or written information obtained directly from the patients and involved caregivers will be used. These evaluations will take place in an ordinary office setting. MR scan data will be collected according to established protocols at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University. 3. Patients will be recruited for participation in this project as they present to the MDC for assessment and treatment. Several neurologists work together to assess and treat patients at the MDC - Drs. Morris, Galvin, Holtzman, and Snider. As Director of the MDC and Co-Investigator on this project, Dr. Morris will work with the other treating neurologists to select possible subjects for this project. However, the consent of the individual treating neurologist, who has been informed of the goals and procedures of the project, and of the patients’ families will always be obtained before any patient is approached to obtain their informed consent. For those patients who are incompetent to give informed consent, legal guardians will be approached to seek their informed consent for the subject’s participation. All subjects shall give their ongoing assent for participation in the project, regardless of whether they have provided written informed consent as well. 4. The potential risks of this project include those associated with routine clinical interviews. The clinical interview and cognitive testing instruments to be used for the project could produce boredom and fatigue. However, breaks in interview sessions will be given whenever the subject requests or obvious fatigue is observed. There are also risks in obtaining MRI scans. However, so long as subjects are properly screened to exclude individuals with metal embedded within their bodies, these risks are minimal and include feelings of claustrophobic fear while being scanned, and minor physical discomfort because of remaining still throughout the scanning procedure. Subjects will also be warned that should they have unremembered metal objects within their bodies, these objects could become heated by the radiofrequency energy of the scanner. The risks of donepezil therapy include increased bowel movements, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, diminished appetite, and weight loss in approximately 10% of subjects. Less commonly, slight decreases in heart rate, insomnia, and psychomotor agitation have occurred. These side-effects can generally be managed by reducing the dose of donepezil from 10 to 5 mg/day. The side effects of memantine include diarrhea, insomnia, dizziness, headache, and rarely hallucinations. Also, as with any drug, idiocyncratic hypersensitivity reactions can rarely occur. Again, subjects will be warned about these risks, and excluded when they have a history of serious or unstable medical disorders. 5. To minimize these risks, clinical interviews and scanning sessions will be interrupted or discontinued if necessary. Subjects and their caregivers will also be carefully interviewed to exclude the possibility of including anyone with metal embedded in their body. Finally, all drug treatment will be performed in the context of an expert clinic. The DAT subjects will be closely monitored for any drug side-effects, and in subjects who experience such side-effects, the protocol will be discontinued. Personnel trained by the ADRC at Washington University in interviewing and testing DAT subjects will conduct all research-related procedures. 6. The risks of this project are relatively small, and not appreciably greater than the risks of ordinary inpatient assessment and non-invasive radiologic procedures. The drug treatment will be administered to these subjects in the context of ordinary clinical care in the MDC. If successful, knowledge may be gained about neuromorphometric predictors of treatment response in patients with DAT, and perhaps about the pathophysiology of AD in general. In consideration of the small risks and substantial scientific benefit of this work, we consider that risk/benefit ratio to be favorable. 7. All key personnel involved in the design or conduct of the research involving the human subjects will receive the required education on the protection of human research participants prior to funding of this project. 18 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 DATA MANAGEMENT All data will be de-identified and then entered at Washington University. The Northwestern University research team will not have access to any identified data – all subjects in this study are given a random study number that will be used. All identifying data will be kept at Washington University. A distributed data entry system for this project will be used, with computers for data entry at all Washington University clinical data collection sites. Brain structure measures are entered into datasets using PC-type workstations. All computers currently use Excel data entry screens, formatted to simulate the hard copy data entry forms. All data are double-entered, and error checking programs are used to identify and correct errors. Once entered into these spreadsheets and checked, the data files are consolidated into the main SAS project database, which is maintained on a PC microcomputer under the direct supervision of Dr. Paul Thompson from Washington University, the project biostatistician. Back-ups are routinely performed to assure the preservation of the database. Data are checked for range, consistency, missing values, etc. Whenever errors are detected, reports are sent to the data entry sites, where the data are checked again. Data entry system at Washington University is transitioning to a web-based data entry system for easier data management. This system uses SAS/IntrNet methods for data entry and formulates data entry tools using HTML screens (Thompson, 2003a, 2003b). This system integrates data entry with data analysis when necessary, and includes programs to check for completeness of data entry and other data monitoring tools to be run as data are entered, so that data evaluations and comparisons can be synchronous with data entry. This system is used on several other projects in which Dr. Thompson has management responsibilities, and is thus well tested and highly reliable. The project database is maintained using SAS. Data from individual clinical or cognitive instruments are maintained in separate datasets, indexed by subject ID number, date and originating clinic. During data analysis, combined datasets are created as needed. Data are maintained in the master system datasets using a source/derived data approach, where source datasets are maintained unmodified, while the derived datasets are modified as needed. Thus, alterations that prove to be incorrect are easily rectified. The confidentiality of all data is maintained using the HIPPA compliance standards of Washington University. These standards involve retaining confidential information (name, address, telephone numbers, and social security number) in encrypted datasets or on removable media. No confidential information is posted to the web under any circumstances. All possible efforts are made to retain only the necessary information in all cases; that is, ID numbers are used in all possible cases, and actual identification information are used only when necessary and will not be included in the data that is transferred to Northwestern University. Neuroimaging data produced by high dimensional transformations of the neuroanatomical template consists of volumes (in mm 3), symmetry metrics (no units), and shape metrics (e.g., individual eigenvector coefficient values). These data are also collected into Excel datasets, checked, and then merged into the project database. As a first step in the data analysis process, exploratory data analyses will be undertaken for all neuroanatomical variables to assess their distributional properties and to identify outliers. Variables intended for use in MANOVA and other parametric analyses will be tested for deviations from distributional assumptions of the tests. If deviations are identified, we will attempt to find appropriate transformations, such as power or log transformations, which give the variables the required distributional properties. If no simple transformation can be used, alternative analyses with less rigid distributional requirements will be used. For example, rank-ordered group comparisons (e.g., Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests) and correlations (i.e. Spearman rho) may be used for ordered data for which we cannot demonstrate normality. Additionally, other methods (i.e., generalized estimating equations), which are compatible with other error distributions, will be considered. 19 Corticolimbic Degeneration and Treatment of Dementia 8-26-2008 REFERENCES Areosa SA, Sherriff F.

intervention 1: Drug treatment will begin with 5 mg/day of donepezil for six weeks. After six weeks of such treatment, the subjects symptoms will be re-evaluated and any side-effects of treatment assessed and recorded. If no serious side-effects of donepezil are encountered, the dose of donepezil will be increased to 10 mg/day. For subjects prescribed the combination of donepezil and memantine, memantine (20 mg/day) will be added to the drug treatment regimen after the dose of donepezil has been established (i.e., at six weeks). Again, memantine will be initially started at 10 mg/day and increased to its full dose only if no serious side-effects are encountered. intervention 2: 5mg/day for six weeks and if no serious side-effects increased to 10mg/dy.

Glycemic control can be safely achieved in surgical and medical intensive care unit settings and has been shown to improve short and long-term clinical outcomes. As such, insulin infusion protocols are routinely used in the ICU setting. The investigators plan to establish the use of strict glycemic control in a heterogenous group of acutely ill patients in the ED setting. The investigators propose to study the aspects of implementing a strict glycemic control protocol in the ED.

This proposal is to fund a pilot study to assess feasibility and refine methodology for an intended large Scotland wide study on Response to Oral Agents in Diabetes (ROAD). The study will collect cohorts of patients who have carefully controlled standardised dose titration and monitoring with an assessment of drug response and side effects over a 6 month period. The primary aim will be to use these cohorts to investigate phenotypic and genotypic (pharmacogenetic) determinants of response. Drug naïve patients will be treated with Metformin. Patients who have failed on Metformin or are intolerant of Metformin will be randomised to gliclazide, pioglitazone or sitagliptin. With the ability to capture patient data beyond 6 months via data linkage we will monitor time to treatment failure and therefore compare which of the 3 oral agents is the best therapy to use after Metformin in a cost efficient and "real world" RCT.
The Response to Oral Agents in Diabetes (ROAD) study aims to address the limitations of observational data by creating a prospective study of incident users of oral agents. For the first six months the research team will ensure a protocol driven dose titration, standardised monitoring of adherence, response and side effects and standardised deviations from therapy. Thereafter patients will receive 6 monthly monitoring and further protocol led dose titration by the GP. Biochemistry, prescribing data, morbidity and mortality data will be captured for up to 10 years from drug initiation. The ROAD study will provide a highly powered prospective cohort to investigate phenotypic and genotypic determinants of response in its own right. However, this cohort will be used synergistically with ongoing observational pharmacogenetics studies, allowing for crucial replication of 'positive' signals. Furthermore, by randomisation at drug initiation, long term community follow up will allow a comparison of time to treatment failure in patients treated with gliclazide, pioglitazone and sitagliptin in a much more cost effective and 'real-world' setting than traditional prospective randomised trials This pilot study is to assess the feasibility of the larger complex intervention. The primary outcome of the pilot is HbA1c change. Other measures regarding recruitment and dose titration will be assessed. With knowledge from this pilot, an application will be made for a large region or Scotland wide study to collect 2000 patients incident to oral diabetes treatment.

This is a phase II study of Nilotinib for patients with advanced GIST that cannot be surgically removed. Patients are candidates for the study if their tumors have progressed on imatinib and sunitinib or if they were intolerant to these drugs. Patients may have received other investigational therapies as well. We are testing the benefit of nilotinib in advanced GIST looking at the length of time disease is controlled as well as the response of the disease to the drug.
Nilotinib is an oral drug. The dose is 400 mg twice daily Patients are evaluated every 8 weeks for disease response. Blood work is assessed for safety initially weekly, then every 4 weeks. Physical exams are performed initially weekly and then decreased to every 4 weeks after the first month.

Primary objective: To determine whether aspirin (ASA) can lower the incidence of Venous Thromboembolism(VTE) in patients with Glioblastoma (GBM). Secondary objectives: To determine clinical and laboratory factors which are associated with increased risk of VTE If it is determined that ASA reduces the incidence of VTE in patients with GBM, then to determine the clinical and laboratory factors which are associated with an increased benefit from the drug.
Study Drug: Aspirin is designed to make blood less "sticky" and reduce its chances of clotting. By making blood less sticky, it may be less likely to allow a clot to form. Study Groups: If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in the toss of a coin) to 1 of 2 study groups. If you are assigned to Group 1, you will take aspirin. If you are in Group 2, you will take a placebo. A placebo is a substance that looks like the study drug but has no active ingredients. You will have an equal chance of being placed in either group. Neither you nor your study doctor will know what group you are in. In case of an emergency, the study staff will be able to find out which group you are in. Study Drug Administration: If you are assigned to Group 1, you will take 1 aspirin tablet, once a day, by mouth. Aspirin should be taken with food and may be taken at any time during the day. If you are assigned to Group 2, you will take 1 placebo tablet once a day, by mouth. The placebo should be taken with food and may be taken at any time during the day. Study Visits: While on study you will have tests and procedures performed at the same time as each routine clinical visit and when the study doctor thinks it may be necessary. The following tests and procedures will be performed: * You will have a physical exam. * You will be checked for VTE at each visit. * Blood (2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests at least once every 8 weeks. Blood samples will not be routinely collected if you are not receiving any chemotherapy. * Blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn to see how well your blood clots about 4 months after you begin treatment. If you show signs of VTE, this test will be done on the first visit after the signs are shown. Length of Study: You may remain on-study for as long as you are benefiting. If the disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur, you may be taken off of the study. End of Study Visit: Once you are off-study, you will have an end-of-study visit. At this visit, the following tests and procedures will be performed: * Your complete medical history will be recorded. * You will have a physical exam. * You will have performance status evaluation. * You will be asked about any medications you may be taking. * You will be checked for VTE. * Blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn to see how well your blood clots. * If you have symptoms of VTE, you will have a Doppler ultrasound test of your legs. Follow-up: The study staff will call you or a member of your family every 3 months, after your last clinic visit, to follow your health status. This is an investigational study. Aspirin is approved by the FDA and commercially available. Its use in lowering the risk of VTE is investigational. Aspirin, and the study-related tests/procedures will be provided free of charge to you while on this study. Up to 224 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

This study was designed to evaluate the pharmacodynamics of a bolus dosing regimen of clevidipine, a vascular-selective L-type calcium channel antagonist, for the management of blood pressure in cardiac surgery patients, as well as to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of clevidipine after bolus administration.
Study participants were screened up to 14 days prior to their elective cardiac surgery. For the purpose of this study, hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mm Hg immediately prior to initiation of study drug. On the day of surgery, an IV bolus dose of clevidipine (Bolus 1 - pre-anesthesia) was administered to each eligible study participant during Treatment Period 1 to decrease BP before induction of general anesthesia. The dose (either 125 μg, 250 μg or 500 μg) given was based on the assigned cohort for each participant, listed in the 'Arms' section below. At the discretion of the investigator, a second IV bolus dose of clevidipine (Bolus 2 - with anesthesia) could have been administered during Treatment Period 2 at either 125 μg, 250 μg or 500 μg, based upon the earlier observed response to Bolus 1. This dose was administered after the induction of anesthesia, to decrease BP prior to cannulation of the ascending aorta for initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass. Assessment of safety was performed throughout Treatment Periods 1 and 2 with Adverse Events (AEs) followed 6 hours post final bolus dose and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) followed 24 hours post final bolus dose.

This two-part study is designed to select the subcutaneous (SC) dose of Herceptin that results in comparable exposure to intravenous (IV) Herceptin in healthy male participants and in HER2-positive female participants. The study will also assess the safety and tolerability of the SC and IV formulations. In Part 1 of the study, four cohorts will be treated with a single dose of Herceptin as follows: Cohort 1 (6 milligrams per kilogram \[mg/kg\] IV in healthy male participants); Cohort 2 (6 mg/kg IV in HER2-positive female participants); Cohort 3 (6 mg/kg SC in healthy male participants); Cohort 4 (10 mg/kg SC in healthy male participants). An additional cohort of healthy volunteers (Cohort 5) will be opened if both SC dose levels from Cohorts 3 and 4 result in Herceptin exposures different from the target concentration produced by a single IV dose, or if the variability in pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter values cannot be used to define the target SC dose level. In Part 2 of the study, HER2-positive female participants will receive a single dose of SC Herceptin at the dose level defined in Part 1. Participants from Part 1 are eligible to enter Part 2 provided they receive the second (Part 2) study dose of Herceptin a minimum of 22 days after their first (Part 1) dose.

This study will compare the safety and effectiveness of three different antipsychotic medications, as well as the use of other medications to limit treatment side effects, in adults with schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disease affecting approximately 1% of Americans. Antipsychotic medications can treat some of the most severe symptoms of schizophrenia, but they are not a cure, are often taken for long periods of time, and can have severe side effects. Other, secondary medications can provide relief from some of the most common severe side effects. This study will compare the safety and effectiveness of three different antipsychotic medications, as well as the use of additional medications to limit treatment side effects, in adults with schizophrenia. Participation in this study will last 28 to 30 weeks and include 11 visits to a study clinic. Each visit will last 2 to 3 hours. The first 2 visits will include screening and baseline measurements. The screening visit will take place at study entry, and the baseline visit will take place 3 to 14 days later. Study visits will then occur 1, 2, and 4 weeks after the baseline visit, followed by monthly visits. At the baseline visit participants will be randomly assigned to receive olanzapine, perphenazine, or aripiprazole for 28 weeks. Dosage for all three antipsychotic medications will start at low levels and be increased to full strength over 2 weeks. If participants are taking another antipsychotic when they enter the study, this 2-week period will also be used to slowly reduce and then end treatment with the non-study antipsychotic. Side effects to all three antipsychotics will be monitored, and, depending on the side effect, one of three different medications will be added to the treatment regimen. If increased cholesterol levels are experienced with any antipsychotic, simvastatin will be added; if weight gain is experienced, metformin will be added; if involuntary movements, inner restlessness, or muscle stiffness are experienced, benztropine will be added. Because of already known side effects, participants assigned to olanzapine or perphenazine will automatically add metformin or benztropine, respectively, to their regimens. Starting on the third study visit, participants will also undergo a behavioral treatment aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk factors. This behavioral treatment will involve nine 20-minute sessions, with phone calls being made to participants between sessions. During each study visit, assessments will be made of schizophrenia symptoms, side effects, adherence to medication regimen, vital signs, waist circumference, and weight. Participants will also complete a questionnaire on use of health care services and undergo instructions on exercise and eating right. On visits 1, 5, 7, and 11, blood will be drawn for standard lab tests. Additional measures at the screening visit will include questions about medical and psychiatric history, a urine test for drugs, and a questionnaire about physical and social activities.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of galantamine with nimodipine in patients with mixed dementia on cognition and quality of life.
A double-blind (neither the patient nor the physician know the name of the study drug), 6-month, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the combination of galantamine with nimodipine in patients with mixed dementia on cognition and quality of life. The target dose of galantamine is 24 mg/day and nimodipine will be taken in fixed doses of 90 mg/day. Primary outcomes will be measured by a computerized battery of neuropsychological tests and Quality of Life (QoL) scores. Secondary outcomes will be measured by ADAS-cog, Clinical Global Impression (CGI) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). Mixed dementia (Alzheimer's Disease (AD) associated with cerebrovascular disease) is one of the most common causes of dementia, which remain largely underdiagnosed. Little is known about specific treatments for this condition. Ischemic lesions by themselves seem to play an important role in cognitive impairment, even in the presence of AD pathology. Hypotheses: - Galantamine 16-24 mg/day in combination with nimodipine 90 mg/day is superior to galantamine monotherapy (16-24 mg/day) in improving or stabilizing cognition in patients with AD associated with cerebrovascular disease (mixed dementia), as measured by the CNTB at 6 months. - Galantamine 16-24 mg/day in combination with nimodipine 90 mg/day is superior to galantamine monotherapy (16-24 mg/day) on QoL measures in this population as measured by QoL - AD at 6 months. Group 1: galantamine oral 8mg/day for a month, 16mg/day for 4 weeks and after 24mg/day until end of study plus nimodipine oral 30mg tid during all study. Group 2: Group 1: galantamine oral 8mg/day for a month, 16mg/day for 4 weeks and after 24mg/day until end of study plus placebo oral 30mg tid during all study.

This is a research study testing SABER-Bupivacaine (an experimental pain-relieving medication). SABER-Bupivacaine is designed to continuously deliver bupivacaine, a common local anesthetic, for a few days in order to treat local post-surgical pain. The purpose of this study is to investigate safety (if there are any side effects) associated with the use of SABER-Bupivacaine and how well it works in reducing pain and opioid-related side effects following shoulder surgery.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of lithium combined with riluzole to riluzole combined with placebo in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare, neurodegenerative disorder that results in progressive wasting and paralysis of voluntary muscles. In this double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, researchers will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the drug lithium given in combination with riluzole, a drug commonly used to treat ALS, compared to a placebo given in combination with riluzole. Approximately 250 participants will be recruited from multiple centers, in the US and Canada, that belong to the Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS) and the Canadian ALS Clinical Trials and Research Network (CALS). Enrollment will occur in stages. Initially 84 participants will be enrolled in the trial. An interim analysis using available data will occur after the 84th participant is enrolled. During this time, the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) appointed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) may decide to stop the trial for efficacy or futility reasons or to stop enrollment and request that follow-up continue with the 84 participants already enrolled in the trial, or the DSMB may decide to continue enrollment. Participants will be randomized to one of two arms of the study. Arm one will receive lithium and riluzole. Arm two will receive riluzole and placebo (an inactive substance). All participants will be receiving riluzole. After screening and randomization, participants will be followed every 4 weeks for the first 12 weeks. Subsequent in-person visits will occur every 8 weeks with a final visit at week 52. Between in-person visits, telephone interviews will take place every 4 weeks to administer the Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) questionnaire. A follow-up telephone interview will occur at week 56 (off study medication) to review adverse events. The primary outcome measure is disease progression as measured by the ALSFRS-R questionnaire. Participants randomized to placebo whose disease progresses will be crossed over to lithium for the remaining period of the study (up to 52 weeks total). Duration of the study for participants is 56 weeks which includes 52 weeks of treatment and a followup telephone interview at week 56.

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Alefacept in patient with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who could not be adequately controlled with topical therapies.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with cutaneous hyper-reactivity to environmental triggers that are generally innocuous to healthy, nonatopic individuals (Leung et al. 2004). Acute eczematous skin lesions in atopic dermatitis are characterized by marked epidermal intercellular edema (spongiosis). Chronic lesions are characterized by an acanthotic epidermis with elongation of the rete ridges, parakeratosis, and minimal spongiosis (Leung and Bieber 2003). A significant mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate is present in both acute and chronic skin lesions, consisting of lymphocytes, immunoglobulin E (IgE)-bearing Langerhans cells, inflammatory dendritic epidermal cells, and macrophages. Eosinophils are also present in varying levels (Leung and Bieber 2003). Activation and skin-selective homing of peripheral blood T lymphocytes and their subsequent effector functions in the skin represent sequential immunologic events in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (Akdis et al. 2000). More than 90% of skin-infiltrating T lymphocytes in inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis express CD44- and the oligosaccharide determinant cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA) (Berg et al. 1991). The migration of CD4+, CLA-positive T lymphocytes across cytokine-activated endothelial cell layers has 2 been shown to be dependent on the interaction of lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA)-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 (Santamaria Babi et al. 1995). The activation of T lymphocytes plays an important role in atopic dermatitis pathogenesis. In acute atopic dermatitis, a T-helper (TH)2 cytokine profile is predominantly seen, with increased expression of interleukin (IL)-4, lL-5, and IL-13 (Stone 2003). In chronic atopic dermatitis, the cytokine profile changes to a TH1 predominant profile, with increased expression of interferon y (IFN-y) (Leung et al. 2004). Activated T lymphocytes also are responsible for direct cell-mediated keratinocyte apoptosis, which contributes to the spongiosis pattern of epidermal injury characteristic of acute atopic dermatitis (Trautmann et al. 2001), The interaction of T lymphocytes with antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is one of the initial steps in T lymphocyte activation of an immunologic response to what is perceived by the immune system to be a foreign antigen. Although much attention has been focused on the primary interaction of the T lymphocyte receptor with the major histocompatability complex (MHC)-antigen complex on the APC, several other cell surface components are also involved in, and necessary for, T lymphocyte activation. Ligand pairs necessary for T lymphocyte activation, located on the cell surface of the T lymphocytes and the APC, respectively, include CD2/LFA-3, LFA-1/ICAM-1 (also ICAM-2 and ICAM-3), CD281B7, CD4/MHC Class II, and CD8/MHC Class I. CD2 interaction with LFA.-3 is necessary for T lymphocyte activation, binding, and T-helper cell responses. (Fischer et al. 1986; Springer et al. 1987) Anievive® (Alefacept) is a dimeric fusion protein that consists of the extracellular CD2 binding portion of the human leukocyte function antigen -3 (LFA-3) linked to the Fc portion of IgG1. Amevive® interferes with lymphocyte activation by specifically binding to CD2 on lymphocytes thereby inhibiting LFA-3/CD2 interaction. Amevive® causes a reduction in CD4+ lymphocytes which play a role in atopic dermatitis. Currently, Amevive® has been shown to be a safe and effective agent in the treatment of psoriasis but may prove useful in treating atopic dermatitis. Unlike other "biologics" for the treatment of skin diseases, the use of alefacept is not associated with increased infection, congestive heart failure, demyelinating disorders or lupus- like syndromes. (1-Lodak and David, 2004) Ten atopic patients who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate subcutaneous injections for localized fat removal. Subcutaneous injections of the study drug will be efficacious in decreasing localized fat deposits due to the known fat necrosis effects on fat tissue after study drug tissue incubation.
This study is a randomized, double-blind study of 21 subjects. Participants in this study will be healthy, non-obese (BMI \<30) subjects over 25 with two localized, symmetrical, and contralateral areas of fat deposition on the abdomen or flanks and on the buttocks or thighs that have proven resistant to diet and exercise. Each participant will be randomized to one of three groups and will receive 4 series of injections two weeks apart. Multiple injections will be placed in the subdermal fat layer from 1-1.5 cm apart depending on the size of the treatment area. Group A will serve as a control and will receive only injections of saline as a placebo. Group B will receive saline injections on one side of the body and receive study drug injections on the contralateral side. Group C will receive only study drug injections. The study sites will include a symmetric, contralateral area of localized fat deposit on both the upper and lower torso. Clinical evaluations will be performed at each visit. Hematologic and ultrasonographic evaluations will be performed at baseline, at the 3rd treatment (Week 4), and at 6 month follow-up. Histologic evaluations will be performed on select individuals at baseline and at the 3rd treatment (Week 4) visit.

Cystinosis is an inheritable disease that if untreated, results in kidney failure as early as the first decade of life. The current marketed therapy is Cystagon® (cysteamine bitartrate) which must be taken every six hours for the rest of the patient's life to prevent complications of cystinosis. RP103 is a formulation of cysteamine bitartrate that is being studied to see if it may be able to be given less frequently, once every 12 hours, and have similar results.
This is a single-dose, open-labeled, non-randomized, two-period study of Cysteamine Bitartrate Delayed-release Capsules (RP103) and Cystagon® in up to 10 patients (male or female) with nephropathic cystinosis under fasting conditions. It will involve a 4 night check-in to a clinical research center. Study with completed results acquired from Horizon in 2024

To evaluate which of the two de-airing methods (CO2 insufflation vs. Lund de-airing technique) can shorten the left heart de-airing time and prevent or minimize cerebral air emboli during open surgery involving exposure of the left heart to the ambient air. To evaluate the cost effectiveness and possible side effects of CO2 de-airing technique compared to Lund de-airing technique.
Study design: Prospective, randomized and controlled study involving 20 patients, 10 in each group. The de-airing time and the efficiency of the techniques will be assessed by trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) and trans-cranial echo-doppler monitoring (TCD). The cardiologists analyzing the TEE recordings will be blinded to the de-airing technique used (the recorded videos will be analyzed at the end of the study). The TCD monitoring will be done by on-line automatic recording of the micro embolic signals (MES) from the right and or left middle cerebral arteries and performed by single surgeon. The CO2 insufflation of the operating field will be performed according to manufacturer's guide lines. During entire study course one type of extracorporeal perfusion system will be used.The study will be registered in the international database. A prior approval will be sought from the hospital ethical committee for the study. Patient selection: Patients planned for aortic valve/root replacement or repair will be selected for the study Exclusion criteria: Patients with known: a) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, b) emphysema, c) previous thoracic or cardiac surgery, d) history of CVA or stroke and e) evidence of intraoperative pleural adhesions will be excluded from the study. Patients requiring internal mammary artery coronary bypass will also be excluded. Patient consent: A written consent previously approved by the hospital ethical committee will be obtained from all patients before they are enrolled in the study (enclosure 3). De-airing procedure: Enrolled patients will be assigned randomly to one of the two following groups: Control group ( newly developed de-airing technique in Lund ) : In these patients (n=10) the pleura will be opened on both sides and the ventilator will be disconnected before aorta is cross-clamped and cardioplegia administered. At the end of the cardioplegic arrest, the aortic root and the LV will be actively vented and aortic cross clamp released. The time will be noted down (T1). The heart will be defibrillated to sinus or pacemaker induced rhythm. The heart will be kept empty by the LV vent and ejection avoided as monitored by continual intraoperative TEE and systemic arterial pressure tracing. At 35 Celsius body temperature, as measured from the thermistor in the urinary bladder, and with apparently good cardiac contraction the de-airing will begin. Inotropic drugs or systemic arterial vasodilators will be used as and when necessary to achieve good cardiac contraction. The time will be noted down (T2) (T2 - T1 = Pre ejection de-airing time). The LV preload will first now be successively increased by reducing the venous return from the heart-lung machine to raise CVP between 5-10 cm water. LV vent will be continuously regulated depending upon the amount of residual air showing in the left heart. When no air is seen on TEE monitoring in the left heart (LA, LV \& Aorta), half the calculated minute ventilation with 100% oxygen and a PEEP of 5 cm H2O will be started. De-airing will be continued and when the TEE shows no or minimal air in left heart, full ventilation with unchanged PEEP will be restored. The patient will be weaned successively from the CPB thereby ensuring that entire cardiac output is diverted through the native fully ventilated lungs. When TEE will show no air in the left heart, the de-airing will be considered complete and the time noted again (T3) (T3 - T2 = Post ejection de-airing time). All cardiac cannulae including the LV vent will be left in situ but clamped, patient weaned completely from the cardiopulmonary bypass and monitored for residual air by TEE \& TCD for 10 minutes continually. The LV vent will be re-opened whenever the residual air in the left heart exceeds grade II. The frequency of theses measures will be noted in the protocol. If the patient has by now achieved 36 Celsius core temperature, the heart will be decannulated and CPB removed. Otherwise CPB will be restarted and patient warmed to 36 Celsius before final weaning and decannulation. Study group ( CO2 insufflation ): In these patients (n=10) the pleurae will not be opened. During aortic cross-clamp period the ventilator will be adjusted to provide dead space ventilation only i.e. 5cm PEEP, ventilator frequency 5/min and the minute ventilation = 1,5 liter. Fio2 = 50%. The operating field will be insufflated with CO2 at a flow rate of 10 L / minute starting 2 minutes before cardiac cannulation and continued until 10 minutes after termination of the CPB. At the end of the cardioplegic arrest, the aortic root and the LV will be actively vented and the time noted down (T1). The LV preload will be successively increased by reducing the venous return from the heart-lung machine to raise CVP between 5-10 cm water. LV venting will be continued and when no air bubbles are seen in the left heart (LA, LV \& Aorta) under TEE monitoring, the calculated minute ventilation with 100% oxygen and PEEP of 5 cm H2O will be restored. De-airing will be continued and when no or minimal air is seen in the left heart the time will be noted down (T2) (T2 - T1 = Pre ejection de-airing time). Aortic cross-clamp will be released now and heart defibrillated to sinus or pacemaker induced rhythm and de-airing continued. At 35 Celsius body temperature, as measured from the thermistor in the urinary bladder, and with apparently good cardiac contraction the patient will be weaned successively from the CPB ensuring thereby that the entire cardiac output is diverted through the native fully ventilated lungs. Inotropic drugs or systemic arterial vasodilators will be used as and when necessary to achieve good cardiac contraction. When TEE will show no air in the left heart, the de-airing will be considered complete and the time noted again (T3) (T3 - T2 = Post ejection de-airing time). The patient will be weaned completely from the cardiopulmonary bypass and all cardiac cannulae including the LV vent will be left in situ but clamped. The patient will be monitored now for residual air by TEE \& TCD for 10 minutes continually. The LV vent will be re-opened whenever the residual air showing on TEE in the left heart exceeds grade II. The frequency of theses measures will be noted in the protocol. The C02 insufflations will continue until the 10- minute post CPB monitoring interval is completed. If patient by now has achieved 36 Celsius core temperature, the heart will be decannulated and CPB removed. Otherwise CPB will be restarted and patient warmed to 36 Celsius before final weaning and decannulation. Trans-esophageal echocardiographic study (TEE): After completion of the cardioplegic arrest and for 10 minutes after termination of the CPB, all the patients will be monitored by TEE for air in the left heart. The residual air showing on TEE after the termination of CPB will be quantified in 4 grades depending upon presence of air in LA, LV and aortic root during one cardiac cycle (grade 0 = no or occasional air in LA, grade 1 = air showing in LA only, grade 2 = air showing simultaneously in LA and LV, grade 3 = air showing simultaneously in LA, LV and the aortic root). The 10-minute post CPB TEE recording will be saved on a video-tape. Trans-cranial echo-doppler study (TCD): After release of the aortic cross clamp and for 10 minutes after the patient has been weaned off from the CPB, the patient will be continuously monitored for micro embolic signals by on-line automatic TCD placed on middle cerebral arteries. Blood gases will be monitored in all patients as following: Blood gas analysis from arterial \& venous blood of the patient every 15 minutes in the operating room in both groups until 15 minutes post CPB) - following attached tables (Anesthesia, Perfusion and TCD \& Invous monitoring) Measurement of end-tidal PCO2 and volume of expired CO2 every 15 minutes after the patient is intubated and till the time patient leaves the operating room in both groups. (No measurements possible in the control group during cardioplegic arrest) Blood gas analysis from arterial \& venous blood lines of the oxygenator and from the LV vent line every 15 minutes while the patient is on CPB in both groups. Continuous on-line monitoring of CO2 content and PCO2 in the blood at the inflow and outflow ports of the oxygenator in both groups using CDI \& new machine. Variations in gas flow and the FiO2 needed to adjust PaCO2 to within a fixed desirable range will be recorded and extra blood gas sample will be taken whenever any such adjustment is made. Alfa stat will be employed for blood gas analysis. A core temperature at 30 C will be used for all patients unless positively indicted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single intravenous administration of an N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist is safe and effective for the acute treatment of bipolar depression.
Bipolar disorder (BPD) is a common, recurrent, and disabling medical condition. Although mania is the defining feature of BPD, depression represents the majority of illness burden in patients with this devastating condition. Despite the high degree of morbidity and mortality associated with bipolar depression, currently available treatments are few and often inadequate. Recently, a single intravenous (IV) dose of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor antagonist ketamine has demonstrated rapid antidepressant effects in severe unipolar depression. Therefore, the objective of the current study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of a single IV dose of ketamine in treatment-resistant bipolar depression (TRBD).

A study to compare the skin irritation potential of two marketed gels for acne treatment, each applied to half of the face of healthy volunteers.
At the Baseline Visit, following satisfaction of entry criteria and screening procedures, all subjects will be applying two products to their faces, each on one side only. The side of the face receiving each product is randomly assigned. One group will use Retin-A MICRO Gel, (tretinoin) 0.04% Pump on the left side of the face and Epiduo Gel (adapalene .1% and benzoyl peroxide 2.5%), on the right side of the face daily for 3 consecutive weeks after washing with study-supplied facial wash. The other group will use the same products, but on opposite sides of the face for three consecutive weeks after washing with the same study-supplied facial wash. Subjects will return to the study center every weekday morning for evaluation and application of both study products. Applications done on the weekends, will be done at home by the subject. At each visit the subject will be scored for cutaneous treatment effects by a blinded evaluator. At baseline and at the end of each week, subjects will be photographed and have chromometer readings.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating acute brain injury due to bleeding onto the brain surface from a ruptured aneurysm. Cerebral vasospasm (cVSP; critical narrowing of brain arteries) is a known complication after SAH and significantly increases disability and death after SAH. Vasospasm is difficult to treat and can lead to stroke. Animal studies have shown that the muscles in the artery wall play a role in cVSP. Dantrolene has been FDA approved and extensively used in clinical practice as a muscle relaxant for more than 30 years. It has been shown to provide some benefit in animal studies of cVSP, as well as in a small number of humans. Therefore, we plan to undertake this study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with dantrolene in patients with cVSP after SAH, and to determine the maximal tolerated dose to be used in future studies to determine if treatment with Dantrolene can improve the outcome of patients with cVSP after SAH.
Our main objectives are: 1) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of varying doses of dantrolene, by determining the treatment related adverse events, in participants with cVSP after SAH; and 2) to determine the maximal tolerated dose to be adopted in subsequent studies and 3) to determine efficacy trends of dantrolene on brain vessels as assessed by ultrasound of brain vessels (transcranial Doppler). We hypothesize that dantrolene is well-tolerated and has minimal serious adverse effects in patients with cVSP after SAH. The results can potentially bring a new treatment to patients with SAH. cVPS after SAH is a frequent cause of disability and death. A successful study demonstrating the safety of dantrolene in would be of considerable public health significance.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the relative bioavailability of a single dose of Colcrys™ (colchicine) 0.6 mg when administered to a group of young, healthy subjects 18-30 years of age compared to a group of older, generally healthy subjects 60 years of age or older following an overnight fast. On study Day 1 following an overnight fast, twenty healthy, non-smoking, non-obese male and female subjects between the ages of 18 and 30 and twenty generally healthy, non-smoking, non-obese male and female subjects over 60 years of age will be administered one single dose of Colcrys™ (1 x 0.6 mg tablet). Fasting will continue for 4 hours after the dose. Blood samples will be drawn from all participants before dosing and for 24 hours post-dose on a confined basis at times sufficient to adequately define the pharmacokinetics of Colcrys. Blood sampling will continue on a non-confined basis at 36, 48, 60 and 72 hours post-dose. Subjects will be monitored throughout participation in the study for adverse reactions to the study drug and/or procedures. Vitals signs (temperature, respiratory rate, pulse rate and blood pressure) will be measured in the sitting position prior to dosing. Seated blood pressure and pulse will be measured at approximately 1, 3, 6 and 12 hours after dosing and prior to release from the facility. All adverse events whether elicited by query, spontaneously reported, or observed by clinic staff will be evaluated by the Investigator and reported in the subject's case report form.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of extended release (ER) tramadol hydrochloride (HCl)/acetaminophen compared with placebo in participants with chronic (lasting a long time) low-back pain.
This is a double blind (a medical research study in which neither the researchers nor the participants know what treatment the participants is receiving), randomized (study drug is assigned by chance), placebo-controlled, parallel group (a medical research study comparing the response in 2 or more groups of participants receiving different interventions \[treatments\]) and up-titration study in participants with chronic low back pain. The study will consist of 6 visits (Day -7 to Day -1 \[Visit 1\], Day 1 \[Visit 2\], Day 3 \[telephone visit\], Day 8 \[Visit 3\], Day 15 \[Visit 4\] and Day 29 \[Visit 5\]) and 2 phases: a screening phase and treatment phase. Screening phase will be of 7 days during which, participants will receive stable dose of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) or COX-2 selective inhibitors (NSAID that specifically inhibits an enzyme known as cyclooxygenase-2) for pain therapy. On the basis of average pain intensity over the last 48 hours which will be measured at baseline (at the end of screening period), participants will enter the treatment phase. Treatment phase will be of 28 days which includes 7-days of dose titration period. In treatment phase all participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 possible treatments: tramadol HCl 75 milligram (mg)/acetaminophen 650 mg ER tablet treatment or the equivalent placebo (an inactive substance) treatment until study completion, Day 29. Participants will receive 1 tablet of tramadol HCl/acetaminophen ER or its equivalent placebo, once daily for 3 days. After the first 3 days, the participants will receive a telephone inquiry monitoring the occurrence of adverse events and will be given additional administration instructions for the next 4 days (1 tablet twice daily for 4 days). From Day 7, participants will receive 1 or 2 tablets twice a day depending on the degree of pain relief required. Participants will visit the center on the Day 8 (Visit 3), Day 15 (Visit 4), and Day 29 (Visit 5) after starting study drug. The efficacy will be assessed by measuring extent of reduction in pain intensity on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

The primary purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioral treatment compared to standard drug therapy for symptoms of OAB in male veterans.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a very common and bothersome condition manifested by urgency, frequent urination, urge urinary incontinence, and nocturia. Drug therapy with oxybutynin or tolterodine is the most common approach to treatment of OAB in VA Medical Center clinics and is the standard of care nationally. Although it improves symptoms of OAB for many patients, drug therapy often has side effects, which cause a significant number of patients to discontinue therapy. Further, many symptoms are not completely controlled, even while patients are on the medication. Therefore, there is a need to improve interventions for this common problem. Although behavioral treatment is a well-established treatment for urge urinary incontinence and frequency in women, there are no controlled trials of behavioral treatment for symptoms of OAB in men. The primary purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioral treatment for symptoms of OAB in male veterans. The study is a two-site (Birmingham and Atlanta) randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effects of behavioral training compared to a standard (drug) treatment control condition. Subjects are 143 men with OAB as manifested by urgency and frequent urination (\>8 voids per day), with or without incontinence, and without significant bladder outlet obstruction. Following a run-in period in which all patients are treated with an alpha blocker to empirically treat any undetected obstruction, they are stratified on severity and presence of urge incontinence and randomized to 8 weeks of behavioral treatment or drug therapy. The behavioral treatment is a comprehensive, behavioral training program, which includes pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, self monitoring with bladder diaries, and teaching urge suppression and other skills to inhibit detrusor contraction, thus reducing urgency, frequency, incontinence, and nocturia. Patients in the control group receive standard therapy consisting of individually titrated, extended-release oxybutynin, a well-established pharmacologic agent with a state of the art drug delivery system that has the lowest rates of side effects. Bladder diaries completed by subjects prior to randomization and following the last treatment session are used to calculate changes in frequency of urination, as well as other symptoms of overactive bladder, including reports of urgency, incontinence, and nocturia. Secondary outcome measures include patient global ratings of satisfaction and improvement, impact of incontinence, and the American Urological Association (AUA) Symptom Index. The second purpose of the study is to examine combined behavioral and drug therapy. Following post-treatment assessment, patients who do not achieve satisfactory outcomes with either behavioral or drug therapy alone are crossed over into a second phase, in which they receive combined treatment to improve outcome as much as possible. This study will yield important information related to alternative treatment of OAB in male veterans. Though many clinicians use drug therapy routinely in the treatment of OAB, most do not offer behavioral treatments such as pelvic floor muscle training for this problem. Thus, this study has potential to alter standards of care for OAB in men.
