SUMMARY:Disease-Modifying Therapies for Alzheimer's Disease in Canada: What They Mean for People Living with Dementia and their Families
DESCRIPTION:To mark Alzheimer’s Awareness Month\, the Alzheimer Society of Toronto and the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance (TDRA) invite you to a virtual panel focused on new disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for Alzheimer’s disease in Canada\, including recently approved treatments such as lecanemab. \nSummary: \nMost current treatments for Alzheimer’s disease help manage symptoms but do not slow the disease itself. Disease-modifying therapies are different. They aim to slow the disease by targeting changes in the brain\, such as the buildup of amyloid. \nThese treatments bring new hope\, but they also raise important questions. Who may be eligible? What tests are needed? How will people access these treatments in Canada? What benefits and risks should families understand? \nDuring this panel\, experts and people with lived experience will discuss: \n– What disease-modifying therapies are and how they work \n– Who these treatments may be for and how eligibility is decided \n– What testing and monitoring are needed \n– How access and funding may work across Canada \n– What slowing disease progression may look like in daily life \nThis event will be presented in plain language and will include time for audience questions. \nPresented in partnership with the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance and the Alzheimer Society of Toronto. \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Carmela Tartaglia \nDr. Carmela Tartaglia is a Cognitive Neurologist who cares for people with neurodegenerative diseases. She is Co-Director and Medical Lead of the Toronto Western Hospital Memory Clinic and a Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. \nShe is also the Executive Director of the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance (TDRA). Dr. Tartaglia has helped lead projects such as the Toronto Cognitive Assessment (TorCA) and research using brain imaging and biomarkers to support earlier and more accurate diagnosis. Her work focuses on improving access to timely and targeted care for people living with cognitive disorders. \nChad Mitchell \nChad Mitchell is a health policy expert and Senior Associate at Global Public Affairs. He has more than 20 years of experience working in Canada’s health system on drug policy\, health technology review\, and health system planning. \nHe has held senior leadership roles with the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance and the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH). Chad works with governments and health organizations to support fair access to new treatments across Canada. \nCara Sullivan \nCara is a retired high school English teacher and a member of TDRA’s Lived Experience Advisory Partners Council. She became engaged in Alzheimer’s research in 2016 after supporting a family member as part of a caregiving team\, with support from the Alzheimer Society of Toronto and the Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce. Cara has participated in several clinical trials with the Toronto Memory Program and CAMH and has a strong interest in risk reduction and brain health. She is currently the study partner for a family member who recently completed two years in the AHEAD Alzheimer’s prevention study at Sunnybrook Hospital. \nPaul Lea \nPaul is a member of TDRA’s Lived Experience Advisory Partners (LEAP) Council. He experienced a major stroke in 2008 and was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2009. After connecting with the Alzheimer Society of Toronto in 2015\, Paul became an active advocate and spokesperson\, raising awareness about stigma\, prevention\, and the need for better supports for people living with dementia. He continues to challenge himself cognitively and has developed effective strategies to adapt to the changes associated with vascular dementia. \n

SUMMARY:Cannabis and Alzheimer's: Exploring New Potential Treatments for Agitation
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nThis webinar will review the different ways that substances from the cannabis plant might help to manage dementia and related responsive behaviours\, such as agitation\, in people living with Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have been studying cannabinoids\, the active parts of cannabis\, to see if they can reduce agitation\, a common and distressing symptom. While non-drug approaches are usually tried first\, medications are sometimes needed. However\, current options can have serious side effects. Cannabinoids may work differently and could offer a safer alternative\, but more research is needed. \nThe session will also highlight a new study testing whether a cannabinoid called cannabidiol (CBD) can help reduce agitation in people living with Alzheimer’s disease. This study builds on earlier research using a similar cannabis-based substance called nabilone\, which showed promising results. The new study will help researchers understand whether CBD can offer similar benefits\, with fewer side effects\, and how it might be used in future dementia care. \nThis webinar is free to attend and is presented in plain language.

SUMMARY:Brain Stimulation and Dementia: Exploring the Current Landscape Through Diverse Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:To mark Alzheimer’s Awareness Month\, the Alzheimer Society of Toronto\, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health\, and the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance have partnered to bring you a virtual panel exploring innovative approaches in Alzheimer’s disease research and care. \nSummary: \nCurrent medications for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias have limited effectiveness and often come with significant side effects\, highlighting the urgent need for new and safer treatments. One promising area of research is brain stimulation\, which uses electrical or magnetic signals to influence brain activity. These treatments can be done invasively\, with small electrodes placed inside the brain\, or non-invasively\, with electrodes on the scalp. Already approved for treating conditions like depression\, brain stimulation shows promise in early studies for reducing symptoms of Alzheimer’s and other dementias\, as well as for slowing cognitive decline and preventing progression to dementia. \nDuring this panel\, we will: \n\nProvide an overview of brain stimulation therapies\, including different types\, their applications\, risks\, benefits\, and limitations\nShare insights into the latest research and opportunities for participation\nHighlight the perspective of a research participant who has firsthand experience with brain stimulation\n\nThis event will be presented in plain language\, and include opportunities to engage with the panelists and have your questions answered. \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Mina Mirjalili  is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). She completed her PhD in computational neuroscience at the University of Toronto. With a background in electrical engineering and computer modelling\, Dr. Mirjalili’s research focuses on creating new treatments to improve cognitive function in people with mental health conditions. Her work involves developing personalized brain stimulation techniques and studying how the brain works during thinking processes. \n  \nDr. Luca Pisterzi is the Vice President of Research\, Programs\, and Evidence at the Alzheimer Society of Canada. He is also a member of Canada’s Ministerial Advisory Board on Dementia. Dr. Pisterzi holds a PhD in Molecular Pharmacology and Biophysics and a Global Executive MBA in Healthcare and the Life Sciences. Having spent the last decade in various roles related to Alzheimer’s and dementia research\, he focuses on turning research findings into practical solutions that improve the quality of life for those affected. \n  \nVince Pancuska has valuable perspectives and insights through his lived experience with mild cognitive impairment\, caregiving for someone with dementia\, and participation in clinical research studies at CAMH.
