About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare conventional clinical data collected as part of usual practice with data collected by the two digital tools to help diagnose major and minor neurocognitive disorders in elderly people consulting a memory center for cognitive complaints. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  • Is it possible to create a classification between the different intensities of cognitive impairment?
  • Is it possible to create a diagnostic tool consistent with the reference diagnosis? Participants will be asked to complete a series of cognitive and fine motor tasks, and will be given questionnaires on their lifestyle and medical history. They will be asked to wear a connected watch for 1 week.

There is no comparison group.

Read the detailed description

Alzheimer's disease, which leads to dementia, has an insidious onset and a slow, gradual progression. After a completely asymptomatic phase that can last several years (prodromal stage of the disease), the first signs consist of a moderate deterioration in performance in one or more cognitive domains, such as memory, attention, planning or other cognitive faculties. Clinically, this is referred to as mild neurocognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease. The progression is towards a major neurocognitive disorder, in which cognitive dysfunction progressively increases, and the patient becomes dependent for activities of daily living. Early detection of the disease, and specifically of this mild neurocognitive disorder, is crucial for a window of intervention prior to dementia. The investigators propose to evaluate a tablet version of a manual dexterity test that the investigators have already been able to test, in combination with assessments already established in the clinic and physiological data collected by a connected watch, to help diagnose neurocognitive disorders by confronting them with the clinical data that are the reference.

The investigators propose this multicenter observational study with a diagnostic aim. The study will involve 150 elderly people consulting one of the two participating memory centers. Three groups will be formed: 50 people with no cognitive dysfunction, 50 with a mild neurocognitive disorder, and 50 with a major neurocognitive disorder linked to Alzheimer's disease. These groups will be formed on the basis of the reference diagnosis established by the memory consultation teams, and the results of the patient's neuropsychological and medical assessments. The investigators will retrieve data from the medical record to classify cognitive status.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing COGNUM_ALZVR in people with Age-related Cognitive Decline and Computers, Handheld, run by RIVAGES at 2 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 6 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Joël Belmin (0149594565, j.belmin@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 13 Sep 2023.
