NCT02769234

Brief Summary

In a previous study, NCT00582127, two age-matched cohorts, one clinically diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease and the other healthy controls, were tested with a hand-held EEG/ERP system to determine if the cohorts could be discriminated using the EEG/ERP measures. This study proposes to retest the AD cohort 18-60 months after their first test to characterize the change in EEG/ERP measures correlated with the longitudinal change in neuropsychological testing.

    24-60 Months

  • Correlation (longitudinal change) between EEG/ERP vs. ADNI-Mem composite.

    24-60 Months

Study Arms (1)

Alzheimer's disease

Subjects with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease that successfully performed an ERP/EEG test with the COGNISION(TM) System prior to enrollment for the current study are eligible to participate.

Procedure: ERP/EEG testProcedure: Psychometric testing

Interventions

ERP/EEG testPROCEDURE

The testing protocol consists of an auditory oddball ERP paradigm, followed by the collection of 3min of resting EEG. During the ERP paradigm a variety of auditory stimuli are played through the system's earphones while voltage potentials are recorded from the subject's scalp. At the end of the ERP session, 3 minutes of EEG data will be recorded while the subject is resting. The entire procedure, including set up, instructions to the subject and actual test is expected to take 45-60 minutes.

Alzheimer's disease

Subjects that complete ERP/qEEG testing successfully will move on to clinical and neuropsychological evaluation. Demographic information with also be collected.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

AD subjects that successfully completed ERP/EEG testing during NCT00582127.

You may qualify if:

  • Between 60 and 95 years old (inclusive) A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease A successful ERP/EEG test performed with the COGNISION™ system 2-5 years prior to testing for the current study
  • Willing and able to undergo ERP/EEG and psychometric testing
  • Have a study partner able to provide an independent evaluation of functioning
  • Permitted medications stable for at least 2 weeks prior to testing

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects will not be called back to sites for follow-up testing if they have:
  • Known allergy to latex
  • Neuropsychological tests administered within three months of study enrollment
  • Investigational agents administered within three months of study enrollment
  • Severe cognitive and functional deficits that in the judgement of the site PI will prevent them from successfully completing ERP/EEG and/or psychometric testing
  • Any significant systemic illness or unstable medical condition at the time of testing which could lead to difficulty complying with the protocol
  • Use of psychoactive substances (Gingko Biloba, melatonin, sedatives etc.) will be allowed as long as the subject suspends their use on the day of testing. Smokers will not be required to abstain.
