Proposed R01 submission to the National Institutes of Health. Preliminary Data. Blood Aβ data from Nilvadipine ph I /II (Aβ40 increased in AD) Aβ40 reduced with treatment (E3>E4) (SM reduced, ceramide increased in AD) SM increased with treatment Ongoing (progression data)

Proposed R01 submission to the National Institutes of Health
Preliminary Data Blood Aβ data fromNilvadipine ph I/II (Aβ40 increased in AD) Aβ40 reduced with treatment (E3>E4) (SM reduced, ceramide increased in AD) SM increased with treatment Ongoing (progression data) miRNA in longitudinal trials lipidomicin longitudinal trials
Specific Aims Aim 1:To examine blood/CSF Aβ and tau/p-tau in repsonse to treatment in the phase III nilvadipine trial in AD. Aim 2: To examine miRNA and phospholipids as biomarkers of AD progression in the phase III nilvadipine trial of AD. Aim 3: To determine if apolipoprotein (APOE)-genotype dependent modification of treatment response to nilvadipine is detectable by in this biomarker panel. Aim 4: ? Correlation of biomarker response with other markers ie imaging etc.
Specific Aims Aim 1: To correlate Aβ and tau levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or blood with therapeutic response in the phase I/IIanilvadipine trial of AD. Aim 2: To use miRNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or blood for detecting therapeutic response in phase I/IIanilvadipine trial of AD Aim 3: To use phospholipids in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or blood for detecting therapeutic response in phase I/IIanilvadipine trial of AD.
