Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 70 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Study population: The study population consists of elderly patients over 70 years of age who consult for memory problems. These patients are further split into two groups based on the clinical validation of memory complaints.

Who may be able to join

  • patient consulting for memory problems
  • caucasian
  • memory complaint is validated by a clinical evaluation
  • cognitive performance is sufficiently well preserved so that a diagnostic of dementia cannot be made (according to the DSM-IV-R and NINCDS-ADRDA criteria) at the time of inclusion
  • the patient speaks French
  • presence of an informant
Show all 14Show fewer
  • accepts to sign consent
  • Inclusion Criteria for the group without memory problems (reference population):
  • at least four years of formal education
  • patient consulting for memory problems
  • memory problem reported by the patient is not validated by the consultation, nor by the battery of tests specified during screening
  • presence of an informant
  • Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) = 0
  • accepts to sign consent

Who cannot join

  • Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL): at least two items > 1
  • Anticholinesterasic treatments and/or memantin before study inclusion
  • major depressive syndrome, according to the Global Depressive Scale
  • Known neurodegenerative disease or general disease or major physical problems that could interfere with cognitive functioning and testing
  • Pathology that might lead to death in the short term (evolving cancer, non stable cardiopathy, hepatic, renal or respiratory insufficiency)
  • contra-indications for MRI, PET or SPECT scans
  • not affiliated with a social security regimen

About this study

Official title: Evaluating the Performance of Isotopic Brain Imaging of Glucose Metabolism Via PET (18F-FDG) and Perfusion SPECT (99mTc-ECD) for the Diagnosis of Prodromal Stage Alzheimer's Disease

The primary objective of this study is to characterize cerebral metabolism modifications using 18F-FDG PET technology and perfusion with 99MTC-ECD SPECT in patients with prodromal Alzheimer's Disease drawn from a high risk population. We also compare PET and SPECT imaging within this framework, and search for optimal diagnostic thresholds.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Alzheimer Disease, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes at 25 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The difference between AUCs for PET and SPECT imaging (time frame: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Feb 2017.
