About this study

The increasing incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related sleep-disorders with the aging of the population is a major issue of public health. The prevalence of sleep disturbances is about 50% in dementia patients. Sleep in dementia is mainly characterized by prolonged night-time awakenings, sometimes with longer sleep latency and/or early awakening. The presence of these sleep disturbances is the main reason for the institutionalization of AD patients, as well as a major cause of the deterioration of the caregivers' sleep. The MEMENTO cohort is composed of patients with isolated memory complaints or mild cognitive impairment, at high risk to develop dementia. All voluntary patients from the CMRR (Center of Memory, resources and Research) of Bordeaux (MEMENTO cohort) will be tested at inclusion and followed-up 1 year later. For these two evaluations, actigraphic monitoring at home, 2-night polysomnography (PSG) monitoring at hospital including a 24-hour period of urinary melatonin dosage, neuropsychological tests battery, a virtual reality tool and questionnaires will be used.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Polysomnography of night 1

    • Apnea/Hypopnea index, periodic limb movements index

    Measured: Change from inclusion (Month 0) and Month 12

  2. Polysomnography of night 1

    • Excessive transient muscle activity, Sustained muscle activity

    Measured: Change from inclusion (Month 0) and Month 12

  3. Polysomnography of night 1

    • Sleep structure parameters (% stage 1, 2, 3 and Rapid Eye movement, Delta activity, Spindle rate)

    Measured: Change from inclusion (Month 0) and Month 12

  4. Polysomnography of night 1

    • Sleep duration parameters

    Measured: Change from inclusion (Month 0) and Month 12

  5. Polysomnography of night 1

    • Sleep consolidation parameters

    Measured: Change from inclusion (Month 0) and Month 12

  6. Polysomnography of night 1

    • Sleep propensity parameters 24-hour melatonin quantity rate

    Measured: Change from inclusion (Month 0) and Month 12

  7. Polysomnography of night 1

    Actimetry: Inter-daily stability, intra-daily variability, rhythm amplitude

    Measured: Change from inclusion (Month 0) and Month 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Subjective evaluation of sleep and Somnolence

    Measured: Month 0 and Month 12

  2. Evaluation of Memory disorder

    Reaction times and % of errors in the neuropsychological tests (memory, speed processing, language, visuo-spatial skills, attentional functions, executive functions)

    Measured: Month 0 and Month12

  3. Evaluation of Memory disorder

    % of recall from the memory test in a virtual environment

    Measured: Month 0 and Month12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 2 night polysomnography, battery of neuropsychological tests and virtual reality test in people with Sleep Architecture and Sleep Disorders, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site 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 0 inclusion and 9 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 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Polysomnography of night 1 (time frame: Change from inclusion (Month 0) and Month 12). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 Jul 2021.
