Test glutathione for brain inflammation in Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer Disease

Treatments studied

Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.

This early-stage study tests whether taking glutathione can affect brain “inflammation” and metabolism in people with Alzheimer’s disease. You might benefit from a new treatment approach, while helping researchers understand what works best for early Alzheimer’s-related brain changes.

Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Phase
Early Phase 1
Enrollment
52 people
Ages
55 years to 85 years
Study type
Interventional

This trial studies whether treating periodontal (gum) disease can help people who have probable Alzheimer’s disease. You may take a study treatment and have regular checks by a caregiver and study team.

NCT07064005Recruiting· Phase 1
Boosting glutathione with a supplement in Parkinson's

This study tests whether a supplement called gamma-glutamylcysteine can increase levels of a natural antioxidant called glutathione in the brain of people with Parkinson's. If you are between 50 and 80 and have mild cognitive symptoms, this trial may help researchers understand a new way to support brain health.

Testing a diabetes-style shot to boost brain immunity in early Alzheimer’s

This Phase 1 study tests whether stimulating the immune system (through a receptor called TLR9) is safe and may affect brain changes in people with early Alzheimer’s. It mainly enrolls older adults with memory impairment confirmed by specific amyloid imaging.
