Trial summary

Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are the 2 well-known etiopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Beside these 2 lesions, inflammation response is described in the brain of patients with AD. Read more about this study

About this study

Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are the 2 well-known etiopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Beside these 2 lesions, inflammation response is described in the brain of patients with AD.

The main objective of our study is to analyse the correlation between the value of plasma cytokines (interleukin 1, 6, TNFα and chemochine Rantes) and the rapidity of the cognitive decline in AD over a 2-year follow-up.

Secondary objectives include:

  • the predictive value of the cytokines on the cognitive decline after 6 months and one year of follow-up., of the patients include 150 patients with AD (MMSE: 16-25)
  • correlation between plasma cytokines levels and expression of the protein kinase PKR (involved in death cell) in blood mononuclear cells.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing blood test and cognitive tests in people with Alzheimer's Disease, run by Poitiers University Hospital at 10 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 11 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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.

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 11 Oct 2016.
