Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Time to Cognitive Worsening Within Cohorts as Measured by Cognitive Composite or Any of the Individual Composite Components
Cognitive composite may consist of International Daily Symbol Substitution Test-Medicines (iDSSTm ), International Shopping List Test (ISLT), Continuous Paired Associate Learning Test (CPAL). Time to cognitive worsening is defined as a change in cognitive composite score or any of the individual composite components, from baseline at 2 consecutive visits.
Baseline up to 7 years
Secondary Outcomes (12)
Time to Cognitive Worsening Between Groups (Participants Within Elevated and Not-Elevated Plasma P-Tau217) as Measured by Cognitive Composite or Any of the Individual Composite Components
Baseline up to 7 years
Time to Cognitive Worsening within Cohorts as Measured by Cognitive Function Index (CFI)
Baseline up to 7 years
Time to Cognitive Worsening within Cohorts as Measured by Montreal Cognitive Assessment XpressO version (XpressO)
Baseline up to 7 years
Time to Cognitive Worsening Between Groups as Measured by CFI
Baseline up to 7 years
Time to Cognitive Worsening Between Groups as Measured by XpressO
Baseline up to 7 years
- +7 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Elevated Plasma P-tau217 Levels
OTHERParticipants with known elevated plasma P-tau217 levels who are cognitively unimpaired at baseline per self-report.
Not-Elevated P-tau217 Levels
OTHERParticipants with known not-elevated plasma P-tau217 levels who are cognitively unimpaired at baseline per self-report.
Interventions
A plasma test measuring phosphorylated tau at Position 217 (P-tau217).
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The participant must self-report unimpaired cognition.
- The participant must have adequate literacy, vision, and hearing for neuropsychological assessments at the time of screening.
You may not qualify if:
- Have seen a doctor about memory concerns.
- Have a history or diagnosis of cognitive impairment, or significant other neurodegenerative disease that can affect cognition.
- Are currently enrolled or have previously participated in any Alzheimer's Disease (AD)-related study involving an investigational drug intervention.
- Are currently using or have previously used prescription medications for treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia such as amyloid targeting therapy (that is, lecanemab, donanemab, aducanumab), cholinesterase inhibitors (for example, benzgalantamine, donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine), and memantine.
