NCT07474038
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is associated with increased risk of progression to dementia, highlighting the need for accessible interventions to support cognitive health. This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a 12-month artificial intelligence (AI)-supported cognitive rehabilitation program for older adults with MCI. Participants will be recruited from an existing research study conducted within Kaiser Permanente Southern California and randomized 1:1 to either (1) AI-supported cognitive rehabilitation or (2) usual care alone. The intervention combines clinician-delivered telehealth cognitive rehabilitation sessions with daily AI-guided cognitive exercises and education. The primary outcome is change in global cognition at 6 months measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)-BLIND. Secondary outcomes at 6 and 12 months include additional measures of cognition, subjective memory, goal attainment, mood, and loneliness. Exploratory outcomes include engagement with the AI intervention and health-related behavioral outcomes derived from electronic health record data. Participant safety will be monitored throughout the study through adverse event tracking, review of AI interactions for safety concerns, and predefined procedures for responding to psychological or clinical risk. This study will determine whether integrating AI-guided cognitive exercises with clinician-delivered rehabilitation improves cognitive and related outcomes in older adults with MCI compared to usual care.
NCT07366346
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a five-week virtual cognitive training intervention for people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) based off an existing eight-week intervention. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is five weeks of training as good as eight weeks in improving cognition, quality of life, daily functioning, and mood, and in reducing caregiver burden? Researchers will compare five weeks of cognitive training to eight weeks of training to see if the shorter version is as effective as the full training. Participants will complete all activities virtually: * Complete a screening visit with a study partner (typically a family member, roommate, or close friend) to determine eligibility to participate in the study * Complete some tests of memory and thinking and some questionnaires * Attend weekly two-hour group cognitive training sessions with a trained group leader, for five or eight weeks * Redo the questionnaires and tests of memory and thinking immediately after completing the training, and three months after completing the training
NCT06780917
The goal of this observational study is to validate the Creyos online cognitive assessment platform in individuals with mild cognitive impairment, or remitted major depressive disorder. The main objectives of this research are: 1. To confirm the feasibility of administering the Creyos cognitive battery to older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment MCI) or Major Depressive Disorder in remission (rMDD). 2. To determine whether the Creyos battery can detect changes in cognition that are predictive of changes on paper-and-pencil neuropsychological testing ("gold standard") over up to five years. Participants will complete both in-person neuropsychological testing yearly as well as the Creyos online battery quarterly for up to 5 years, to allow us to compare performance on these two batteries over time.

NCT07358962
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a condition characterized by cognitive deterioration greater than what is expected from normal aging, representing an important risk factor for the development of dementia. Early assessment of cognitive functions is therefore essential for promptly identifying any signs of decline. In addition to cognitive aspects, it is equally important to consider the possible psychopathological profile of patients, as such disorders can significantly influence the progression of the disease, quality of life, and the ability to manage daily activities. This protocol aims to explore the presence of psychopathological disorders in patients with MCI, with particular attention to their impact on awareness of cognitive deficits (anosognosia) and on the subjective perception of difficulties in daily life, especially in social and work contexts. The study seeks to outline a comprehensive picture of the psychopathological profile in patients with MCI, facilitating the identification of targeted and personalized interventions capable of improving clinical management and the overall well-being of the individual.
NCT07353359
This study is a randomized controlled trial with two phases: pre-trial and formal trial. The pre-trial will include 5 participants to observe the 4-week adherence (≥4 hours/night) and safety (adverse event rate) of the iNAP device. For the formal trial, 60 patients with MCI and moderate-to-severe OSA will be stratified and block randomized (by baseline AHI levels: 15-30 events/h vs \>30 events/h) into either the iNAP intervention group (using the device nightly for 24 weeks) or the control group (receiving only sleep hygiene guidance). The primary outcome is the change in MoCA scores from baseline at week 24. Secondary outcomes include AHI reduction rate, sleep efficiency, plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio, cognitive assessments, and brain imaging indicators. Follow-up visits will occur at baseline, week 12, and week 24 to monitor cognitive function, sleep parameters, and safety.
NCT07294586
This is a 24-month, monocentric, exploratory and observational clinical study aimed at developing and validating a blood-based diagnostic test for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The test is based on two complementary biomarkers: conformational changes in Protein Kinase C (PKC) and aggregation of β-amyloid peptide on red blood cell membranes. The study will also establish a biobank of serum, plasma, urine, and RNA samples for future biomarker research.
NCT07211945
This study aims to determine whether loneliness is associated with a higher incidence of dementia in older adults with a prior diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment after 12 months of follow-up.
NCT07212504
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether an accelerated deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) protocol in combination with cognitive training can improve cognitive abilities in older adults with Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The study will look at whether it is safe and tolerable to use accelerated dTMS to enhance the benefits of cognitive training in older adults, and will also gather early information on the effects of accelerated dTMS on memory and other cognitive abilities.
NCT06687161
The goal of this study is to test a new way to improve sleep quality in persons living with mild cognitive impairment. The treatment combines a safe and gentle way to stimulate the brain, called transcranial magnetic stimulation, with a psychological treatment, called cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.
NCT07174869
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the functionality and usability of Indivi mobile application-based cognitive activities in people with mild cognitive impairment/mild Alzheimer's disease (PwMCI/AD) and healthy controls (HC). This application uses a dynamic difficulty adjustment (DDA) system that customizes the level of the cognitive activities to each user. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the DDA system reach a stable difficulty level at the same rate for both PwMCI/AD and HC? * Is the stable difficulty level reached by the DDA system different for PwMCI/AD compared to HC? Researchers will also compare cognitive activities results and other aspects of the mobile application's performance to see if the application can validly distinguish between the two groups. Participants will use the Indivi mobile application, with its embedded DDA system, for a 6-week period.
NCT07152418
Preliminary clinical trial results indicate that Aβ-targeting monoclonal antibody drugs can delay disease progression more effectively. However, some patients still progress slowly to the moderate stage during treatment despite maintaining low Aβ/tau pathological protein loads. For such cases, patients and their families are fully informed about the potential lack of efficacy with continued treatment, and the decision is left to their discretion. Information regarding whether treatment is continued is documented and followed up to determine whether sustained benefits can be achieved. Previous further studies on lecanemab suggest that patients with low or absent tau pathology derive more significant clinical benefits, though large-sample validation remains lacking. This project will therefore enroll patients at clinical stages 3-4 (0.5 ≤ CDR ≤ 1) and monitor those progressing to moderate AD (CDR = 2) during monoclonal antibody therapy. Using tau pathology stratification, the study aims to identify which AD patients are most suitable for monoclonal antibody treatment and evaluate whether therapy continuation yields sustained benefits in patients progressing to moderate dementia, as well as whether patient selection should integrate both pathological (a-c stage) and clinical diagnoses.
NCT06948149
The goal of this 26-week trial is to learn if creatine supplementation and resistance training (i.e., weightlifting; exercise that increases muscle mass), alone and together, impact cognition, brain health, and physical function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Previous studies have shown that resistance training improves cognition and brain health in older adults. Creatine is naturally occurring in the human body and is known to decline with age. Studies have shown that creatine increases muscle mass and bone density in older adults when supplemented. Some research has suggested that creatine may also improve cognition and brain health. However, little is known about how creatine supplementation affects the aging brain and body alone and when combined with resistance training, especially in those with known cognitive impairment. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: 1) creatine and resistance training, 2) placebo and resistance training, 3) creatine and active control (balance and tone classes), or 4) placebo and active control. Participants in the creatine groups will take creatine every day during the study. Participants in the placebo groups will take a look-alike substance that contains no drug every day during the study. Participants in the resistance training groups will attend three 60-minute classes per week that target each major muscle group and will increase in difficulty during the study. Participants in the active control group will attend three 60-minute classes per week that will consist of balance, stretching, and range of motion exercises. This group accounts for variables such as physical training received by traveling to the training centres, social interaction, and changes in lifestyle secondary to study participation. Researchers will collect information before and after the 26 weeks to see if creatine supplementation and/or resistance training have any effects on cognition, brain health, and/or physical function. The investigators suspect that both creatine supplementation and resistance training will improve cognition, brain health, and physical function alone. However, it is thought that the combination of creatine supplementation and resistance training will improve cognition, brain health, and physical function more.
NCT07027072
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding Phase 2a clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of KDS2010 in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. Based on preliminary efficacy observed in the Phase 1 clinical trial, a multinational study will be conducted in both Korea and the United States. Eligible patients diagnosed with MCI or mild Alzheimer's disease will be stratified by disease stage (MCI/mild AD) and geographic region (Korea/USA) prior to randomization. Subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to either Treatment Group 1, Treatment Group 2, or the Control Group. The investigational product will be administered orally once daily for a duration of 24 weeks. Approximately 114 subjects will be enrolled, including an estimated 20% dropout rate, with 38 subjects assigned to each group (Treatment Group 1, Treatment Group 2, and Control Group). The objectives of the study are as follows: 1. Efficacy Objectives: Efficacy will be evaluated through changes in cognitive function, self-management, and daily living activities before and after administration of KDS2010. Biomarker analysis in plasma and in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF; optional) will also be conducted to explore treatment efficacy. 2. Safety Objectives: The safety and tolerability will be evaluated after administration of KDS2010. 3. Exploratory Objectives: The efficacy of Treatment Groups 1 and 2 compared to the Control group will be explored through cognitive endpoints (the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB), the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog13), and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)), stratified by demographic information, tauopathy, and ApoE4 genes. Based on nonclinical and Phase 1 clinical data, KDS2010 will be administered orally once daily at two dose levels: 60 mg and 120 mg.
