Use of Rapamycin for Cognitive Optimization Among Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia

Principal Investigator:

Dr. Sheldon Jordan

MD, The Regenesis Project

Dr. Jordan specializes in advanced imaging techniques, interventions for brain and nerve injury, anti-aging of the brain, and regenerative medicine. As chief investigator for numerous institutional review board-approved clinical research projects, Dr. Jordan actively endeavors to advance the boundaries of neurological care.

Study Abstract:

Previous research has reported the beneficial effects of sirolimus (rapamycin) administration in numerous animal models of aging and neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer’s disease.  To address a lack of clinical and patient-reported data, this Circle aims to evaluate the development of Alzheimer’s disease among patients partaking in a rapamycin treatment plan.  Following the administration of rapamycin, patients will complete study assessments, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test and Quick Dementia Rating Scale (QDRS), on a quarterly basis for 12 months.

Study Type:

Interventional

Circle Benefits:
  • Longitudinal, real-world safety and efficacy assessment of rapamycin prescription.
  • Regular Circle hours discussing Dr. Jordan’s evidence-based analyses and protocols.
  • Remote, turnkey, administration of the full MoCA assessment.
  • Targeted, automated caregiver reminders for medication adherence and lab work.
Real-World Data Surveys:
  • Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Test - Version 8.1
  • Quick Dementia Rating Scale (QDRS)
  • Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20)
  • Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)
  • General Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7)

Use of Rapamycin for Cognitive Optimization Among Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia

Circle Objective Abstract:

Previous research has reported the beneficial effects of sirolimus (rapamycin) administration in numerous animal models of aging and neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer’s disease.  To address a lack of clinical and patient-reported data, this Circle aims to evaluate the development of Alzheimer’s disease among patients partaking in a rapamycin treatment plan.  Following the administration of rapamycin, patients will complete study assessments, including the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test and Quick Dementia Rating Scale (QDRS), on a quarterly basis for 12 months.

Real-World Data Surveys:

Comparative MoCA scores at 6 and 12 months post-intervention for patient cohorts defined by type of medication or other therapy administered.

MoCA, QDRS, MFI-20, PHQ-9, GAD-7

Intervention:

Neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, primary care physicians, and other clinicians.

Circle Benefits:
  • Longitudinal, real-world safety and efficacy assessment of rapamycin prescription.
  • Regular Circle hours discussing Dr. Jordan’s evidence-based analyses and protocols.
  • Remote, turnkey, administration of the full MoCA assessment.
  • Targeted, automated caregiver reminders for medication adherence and lab work.

Streamlined patient enrollment, real-world data capturing, heightened recognition, prominence and collaboration

OUTCOMES SURVEYS

VAS
KOOS Jr.
VR-12 (compliant with CMS/IQR Requirements)

CLINICAL SURVEYS

As specified by Provider

THIS CIRCLE IS FOR:

Provider Receiving CMS Reimbursement For TKAs

CMS will soon penalize providers performing total knee replacements which do not collect specified outcomes data from at least 50% of qualifying patients.

Other Providers Performing TKAs

Private insurance companies and other payers within and outside the U.S. will follow the CMS lead in requiring high patient compliance in reporting long-term TKA outcomes.

Clinical Grade — Circles

Circles are applicable to any medical specialty, indication or patient population. Each Circle is focused on a specific clinical or scientific topic of interest to its Members.

Clinical Grade — Data Access

inCytes™ permissions settings give Circle Investigators full control over their individual data sets, while preserving the ability to share aggregated datasets.

Clinical Grade — Observational Protocols

Observational Protocols are fully configurable for various use cases and organized within Circles for easy access and sharing among investigators, ensuring that all data shared is standardized and clinically useful.

Clinical Grade — Surveys / PROMs

Surveys comprise custom-designed queries related to a specific topic, such as outcomes, clinical methodologies, lab testing, and more, incorporating the logic to help ensure accurate, efficient, and if needed, longitudinal capture.

Clinical Grade — Report Builder #1

Comparing KOOS, JR. results over 12 months among three separate patient cohorts: (i) All Patients age 65 – 75, n=31 (ii) All Patients age 75 or older, n=127 and (iii) All Patients with a BMI over 30, n=93.

Clinical Grade — Report Builder #2

Comparing VAS results over 12 months among three separate patient cohorts: (i) All Female Patients treated at a specific hospital, n=60 (ii) All Male Patients treated at the same hospital, n=70 and (iii) All Patients, n=207.

Clinical Grade — Report Builder #3

Comparing KOOS, JR. results over 12 months among four separate patient cohorts: (i) All Patients for a specific surgeon (Evans), n=15 (ii) All Patients for that surgeon’s hospital, n=48, (iii) All Patients, n=207, and (iv) All Patients for another specific surgeon at the same hospital (Vogt), n=16.
