About this study

The present study aimed at measuring cerebral changes in Alzheimer Disease (AD) patients, who responded to strict physiological criteria typical of AD pathology. The objective of the present study was to identify the earliest alterations in cerebral connections that could contribute to the initial episodic memory impairment.

What is being measured

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

  1. fixing the AV-45 during PET

    compare fixing the AV-45 during a examination emission tomography (PET) between three different groups: healthy subjects, patients with Alzheimer's disease and a mild stage patients of Alzheimer's disease at a pre-dementia stage

    Measured: baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Deposition of amyloid protein

    Correlation between the deposition of amyloid protein assessed by metabolic imaging (AV-45) and cognitive performance in a group of patients with Alzheimer's disease compared to a control group

    Measured: baseline

  2. Standard Cognitive function

    no memory performance: language (OD 80), executive functions (TMT A and B, evocations formal and categorical lexical, Stroop test, Pyramid-palm tree test Visual and Verbal) praxis visuo-constructive (copy of the figure of Rey) ; working memory (span of front and back numbers, subtest of the WAIS code-III)

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Specific memory evaluation

    anterograde verbal memory (test Gröber and Buschke), memory unique items (visual DMS48), semantic memory (sub-test information of theWechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS))

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neuroimaging in people with Alzheimer Disease, run by University Hospital, Toulouse 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 19 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 11 May 2017. 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?

fixing the AV-45 during PET (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02839187, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 May 2017.
