Trial summary

Dementia with Lewy body disease (DLB) is the second leading cause of degenerative cognitive disorder after Alzheimer's disease (AD). Its variable clinical expression makes diagnosis difficult. To date, there is no validated DLB diagnostic biomarker, despite several biomarkers in development (EEG, MRI, biology). Read more about this study

Who cannot join

  • Contraindication to MRI
  • Other neurological or psychiatric or toxic/iatrogenic disorders that may account for the cognitive impairment or for EEG abnormalities

About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Evaluation of Dementia with Lewy Bodies Using a Multimodal Approach: EEG, Cognitive, Biological and MRI Biomarkers

Dementia with Lewy body disease (DLB) is the second leading cause of degenerative cognitive disorder after Alzheimer's disease (AD). Its variable clinical expression makes diagnosis difficult. To date, there is no validated DLB diagnostic biomarker, despite several biomarkers in development (EEG, MRI, biology).

Studies have shown that an improvement in diagnostic performance could be obtained by combining different modalities biomarkers using machine learning.

The aim of this research is to identify the best combination of multimodal biomarkers for the diagnosis of DLB (EEG, MRI, biology, cognitive scores), using a machine learning approach applied to a clinical cohort.

Read the detailed description

Study population: Observational prospective cohort study including over 24 months at the GHU AP-HP. Nord Lariboisière, Cognitive Neurology Center : 50 probable DLB patients, 50 AD patients, and 30 control subjects with subjective cognitive impairment but without any element in favor of neurodegenerative disorders. Total clinical dataset n= 130.

Act :

  • 32-electrode EEG (resting state, passive auditory and active visual task).
  • 4 dry electrode EEG cap simultaneously with the 32-electrode EEG

Expected results: Improved DLB diagnosis performance using a combination of multimodal biomarkers (EEG, cognitive scores, plasma, brain MRI).

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic performance of a composite multimodal score

    Diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) of a composite multimodal score combining quantitative EEG metrics, plasma biomarkers, MRI volumetric markers and cognitive scores, to differentiate groups of patients (AD, DLB) and control subjects.

    Measured: 24 month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Comparison between groups of patients and controls of a composite EEG score combining several quantitative EEG parameters.

    Measured: 24 month

  2. Correlation between EEG parameters, biological biomarkers, MRI volumetric markers and cognitive scores assessed in the three groups (DLB, AD, controls)

    Measured: 24 month

  3. Reproducibility of 32-electrode EEG results with the 4 dry electrodes EEG cap

    Measured: 24 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lewy Bodies Disease and Alzheimer Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2025. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Claire PAQUET, MDPhD (0140054313 ext. 33, claire.paquet@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic performance of a composite multimodal score (time frame: 24 month). 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 27 Mar 2025.
