CTAM PIA: 2020, The Impact on Clinical Trials in Dementia and The Path Forward

Recorded on Jan. 14, 2021
This program provides international perspectives on the ways the COVID-19 pandemic has changed clinical trials in dementia and considers the ways forward in the field for trials in 2021 and beyond.

Panelists:
Jort Vijverberg, Ricardo Allegri, Serge Gauthier and Keir Yong

 

Electrophysiology PIA: Neurophysiological Signals as Translational Biomarkers for Dementia

Recorded on Jan. 14, 2021
The webinar will overview various in vivo neurophysiological measurements in transgenic rodent models of Alzheimer’s disease and fronto-temporal dementia. These studies aim to reveal pathomechanisms involved in human neurodegenerative diseases, provide disease-relevant in vivo efficacy assays for development of novel treatments, and identify potential translational biomarkers for proof-of-mechanism trials. Moderated by Xianghong Arakaki and Francesca Farina.

Panelist:
Mihaly Hajos

 

Cognition PIA: Cognitive Screening and Testing in a Biomarker Era

Recorded on Jan. 13, 2021
If blood-based biomarker tests are available and new therapies for Alzheimer’s disease are approved, how would we apply cognitive testing to identify who to treat and assess whether treatment is benefiting cognition? Do we need new cognitive tests and methods for screening and monitoring? Our panel of experts from the ISTAART Cognition PIA will discuss these questions.

Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems PIA: Updates in Orexinergic, Cholinergic and Noradrenergic Systems in AD and Related Conditions

Jan. 25, 2021
10 a.m. CST

Neurotransmitters synthesized in subcortical nuclei, including norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine and orexin regulate most brain functions. These neuromodulatory subcortical systems become dysfunctional already in the first stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Yet, we still know little about the NSS in AD and AD-related disorders. Come to learn, discuss and contribute to this webinar that brings the latest developments on the NSS in AD.

Panelists:
Claudio Linguori, Daniel Ferreira Padilla and Lotta Granholm-Bentley

The Eye as a Biomarker for AD PIA: Year in Review

Jan. 25, 2021
1:30 p.m. CST

Femke H. Bouwman will outline and summarize 2020's most impactful findings in retinal biomarker development in AD. Jessica Alber will discuss up and coming developments for 2021, as well as the PIA5's goals to chart a path forward towards retinal biomarker validation in AD. Following these presentations, there will be a group discussion led by the PIA Executive Committee. Moderated by Victoria Pelak and Robert Rissman.

Panelists:
Femke H. Bouwman and Jessical Alber

From PIs to Participants: Moving Toward Sustainable Representation in Clinical Trials in ADRD

Jan. 26, 2021
11 a.m. CST

This webinar, hosted by the Clinical Trials Advancement and Methods PIA and the Diversity and Disparities PIA, will address both long-term and short-term solutions to disparities and diversity in the context of ADRD clinical trials. Moderated by Erin Abner and Ganesh Babulal.

Panelists:
Neelum Aggarwal, Joshua Grill and Jonathan Jackson
