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 55 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: 80 cognitively healthy subjects (normal or MCI) previously enrolled in Alzheimer's Disease Core Center (ADCC) and CBH studies who have agreed to be contacted about future research studies will be asked to additionally participate in this study. The age range of the subjects will be of 55-90 years based on the incidence of dementia in middle age and elder adults.

Who may be able to join

  • All subjects will have participated in prior CBH studies and have agreed to an FDG, PIB and MRI scans.

Who cannot join

  • Diagnosis of sleep apnea and under treatment with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine.
  • Active depressive episode during the evaluation with a Geriatric Depression Scale score >7 and/or a Clinical Global Impression scale for depression score >4.
  • Moderate Cognitive decline (GDS >3).
  • Severe primary or secondary insomnia except insomnia due to SDB.

What is being measured

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

  1. Decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF)

    Measured by perfusion MRI

    Measured: 1 Week

  2. Measure of vasoreactivity to CO2 (VRCO2)

    subjects will breath through a respiratory tube and CO2 will be meaured

    Measured: 1 Week

  3. Increase in cortical AB plaque burden

    Measured by PIB PET

    Measured: 1 Week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Disorder, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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 5 Sep 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 United States. 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?

Decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) (time frame: 1 Week). The study lists 3 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 5 Sep 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
