Biomarkers of Sleep-wake Cycle in Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease: Role in Cognitive Decline?
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Polysomnography: Polysomnography will be performed for 24 hours at inclusion and 24 months
Neuropsychological assessment: A full neuropsychological assessment will be performed at inclusion, 12 and 24 months
Questionnaires on sleep and behavioural problems: Questionnaires on sleep and behavioural problems
Actimetry: Measurement of actimetrics for 14 days at inclusion and at 24 months
Fractional diuresis: Split diuresis from 7pm-7am, 7am-12am and 12pm-19pm during polysomnography at inclusion inclusion and 24 months to measure melatonin concentration
Internal temperature measurement: eCelsius capsule to measure internal temperature at inclusion and 24 months
Biomarker assay: Determination of the biomarkers Aβ42, Aβ40, Tau and P-Tau in blood and in the cerebrospinal fluid
Study summary
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by a progressive loss of memory and cognitive function. In the early stages of AD, there is a progressive accumulation of molecules: β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) in the brain. There is a link between the accumulation of Aβ peptides and the deterioration of sleep, but current knowledge does not confirmed this link. The objective of this study is to define whether there is a link between cognitive decline and sleep disorders. If a correlation is found, this could allow earlier treatment of sleep disorders in the longer term in order to slow the development of AD.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) scale score — From inclusion to 24 months
The FCSRT test evaluates memory, the score obtained is between 0 and 48, higher score mean a better outcome
