Clinical Trials
1 Promoting Adaptive Neuroplasticity in Mild Cognitive Impairment
The aging US population threatens to overwhelm our healthcare infrastructure, especially since the rate of Alzheimer's disease (AD) alone is expected to triple in the coming decades. Memory cause functional impairment, reduced quality of life, increased caregiver burnout, and eventual institutionalization. The diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) identifies those with memory deficits but who remain relatively independent in everyday life. MCI provides a window for interventions that target memory functioning. The proposed study focuses specifically on a groundbreaking combination of mnemonic rehabilitation and non-invasive brain stimulation. The main idea is that brain stimulation can enhance functioning in the specific brain regions/networks, thereby increasing the patients' ability to benefit from different types of memory rehabilitation. This will be a randomized, double-blind study (active vs. fake brain stimulation), that provides multiple treatment session. Outcome will be examined using both laboratory-based and real-world memory testing as well as brain imaging. This first-of-its-kind study has the potential to meaningfully translate more "basic" science findings into neuroanatomically targeted and functionally meaningful treatments for our aging population.

Measure: Exploratory analysis of the coagulation profile of COVID-19 positive patients compared to COVID-19neg patients Time: 24 monthsCoronavirus disease 2019 has forced worldwide the implementation of unprecedented restrictions to control its rapid spread and mitigate its impact. The Spanish government has enforced social distancing, quarantine and home confinement. This restriction of daily life activities and separation from loved ones may lead to social isolation and loneliness with health-related consequences in community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia and their caregivers. Additionally, an inadequate access to healthcare and social support services may aggravate chronic conditions. Technology home-based interventions emerge for combating social isolation and loneliness preventing the risk of viral exposure. The aim of this multicentre cohort study is to explore, analyze and determine the impact of social isolation on: 1) cognition, quality of life, mood, technophilia and perceived stress of community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia, and on caregiver burden; 2) health and social care services access and utilization, and 3) cognitive, social and entertainment use of ICTs. This study will be conducted in two Spanish regions Andalucía (Málaga) and Cataluña (Tarrasa). In total 414 dyads, consisting of a person with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia (PMCI/MD) and their informal caregiver will be contacted by telephone. Potential respondents will be participants of the SMART 4 MD (N=2921), TV-AssistDem (N=100) and INFINITy (N=23) clinical trials. The change in means in the variables will be analyzed comparing baseline results in the previous studies with those during and after confinement using the ANOVA test of repeated measures or the non-parametric Friedman test if appropriate. The performance of a multivariate analysis of variance (ANCOVA) to introduce possible covariates will also be contemplated. A 95% confidence level will be used.
NCT04385797 Mild Cognitive Impairment Dementia Other: Telephone interview MeSH:Dementia Cognitive Dysfunction
HPO:Cognitive impairment Dementia Mental deterioration
Primary Outcomes
Description: The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (23) will be used to assess the cognitive function of the PMCI/MD. The most common cutoff scores for cognitive impairment and dementia are ranging 23 to 27 over 30. As telephone call interviewing will be the safest means to communicate with the PMCI/MD during and after the COVID-19 pandemic the 22 items telephone version of the MMSE will be used (24). All points of the MMSE can be covered in the telephone version except the last section assessing language and motor skills. In the phone version, we will ask the subject to repeat a phrase and name one item (For example: "Tell me, what is the name of the object you are using to talk to me?"). However, a second item will be not be named, nor will be the person be asked to follow a three-stage command, read and obey a sentence, write a sentence, or copy an intersecting pentagon as in the original version.

Description: The Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease Scale (QoL-AD) (19-22) is an instrument specifically designed to measure QoL in PMCI/MD from the perspective of both the patient and the informal caregiver. It is a 13-item measure, which includes assessments of the person´s relationships with friends and family, financial situation, physical condition, mood, memory, and an overall assessment of life quality. Response are 4-point multiple choice options (1 = poor, 2= fair, 3= good, 4 = excellent). Scale scores range from 13 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater quality of life.
When cognitive function may be compromised, informal caregivers will complete the QoL-AD, on behalf of the PMCI/MD.

Description: The European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 3 Levels (EuroQoL-5D-3L) is a standardized generic instrument consisting of a descriptive system and a visual analogue scale (VAS).
The descriptive system comprises 5 dimensions covering mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, moderate problems and extreme problems. A 1-digit number expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state.
The VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical scale, where the endpoints are 100 = 'The best health you can imagine' and 0 = 'The worst health you can imagine'.
EuroQoL-5D-3L has been shown to correlate well with QoL-AD, indicating that using both measures side-by-side is compatible.

6 Care at 360º: A Long-term Individual Cognitive Stimulation Program for Older Adults With Neurocognitive Disorders, Non-Institutionalized and Socially Vulnerable
Primary Outcomes
Description: The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) (23) will be used to assess the cognitive function of the PMCI/MD. The most common cutoff scores for cognitive impairment and dementia are ranging 23 to 27 over 30. As telephone call interviewing will be the safest means to communicate with the PMCI/MD during and after the COVID-19 pandemic the 22 items telephone version of the MMSE will be used (24). All points of the MMSE can be covered in the telephone version except the last section assessing language and motor skills. In the phone version, we will ask the subject to repeat a phrase and name one item (For example: "Tell me, what is the name of the object you are using to talk to me?"). However, a second item will be not be named, nor will be the person be asked to follow a three-stage command, read and obey a sentence, write a sentence, or copy an intersecting pentagon as in the original version.

Examples include driving, watching television, playing cards, puzzles and working on a computer. Studies suggest that between 60% of older people world-wide reported sitting for more than four hours per day. Sedentary behaviour increases as older people become older, have problems with cognition and when they are very ill. Excessive participating in sedentary behaviours is associated with an increased risk of heart problem, cancer death and diabetes. However, we do not know for certain whether or not participating in sedentary behaviour could cause poorer cognition. What does the study hope to achieve? This feasibility study will test whether the main study, which is planned for later, is workable with regards to the following: - Will reducing sedentary behaviour using our online health coaching intervention (WALC-R) be acceptable to research participants and caregivers? - How many participants can be successfully recruited to the future trial? - What is the rate of adverse event associated with proposed study intervention? Method: This is a 13-week randomised feasibility study. We will randomly assign study participants to either the health coaching intervention (WALC-R) or receiving health guidelines on recommended physical activity. We aim to recruit 40 participants aged 50 and over who have been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment. The future main study will be larger and test whether: • 'WALC-R', an online intervention designed to reduce participation in sedentary behaviour can improve cognitive function in older people with Mild Cognitive Impairment compared with providing an information sheet about physical activity.

Secondary Outcomes
Description: Sedentary behaviour and physical activity time per day will be recorded using ActivPAL inclinometer.All participants will be required to wear the ActivPAL continuously for at least 7 days at baseline that will measure habitual sedentary behaviour and walking activity each day (Edwardson et al., 2017). The inclinometer will record how many minutes per day each participant is sedentary and engages in light, moderate and vigorous physical activities. A recording is made of each 60-second period (called an 'epoch'), and this is classified as being sedentary or light, moderate or vigorous physical activity. The researcher will collect data on the total minutes of sedentary behaviour per day, number of disruptions in sedentary behaviour and total time spent in physical activity (minutes per day in light, moderate and vigorous activity).
Measure: Device measured sedentary behaviour Time: Week 1 and 13
Description: Participants will complete a survey questionnaire about weekly time spent participating in selected sedentary behaviours such as watching television and sitting (Rosenberg et al., 2010). The options for respondents include 'None', <=15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6+ hours.
Measure: Self reported sedentary behaviour assessed using the Sedentary Behaviour Questionnaire Time: Week 1 and 13
Description: The researcher will test participant's verbal fluency (cognitive function) using the Controlled and Oral Word Association Test. The scores represent the number of correct words provided in 60 seconds. Higher scores represent better verbal fluency ability and vice versa.
Measure: Verbal fluency assessed using the Controlled and Oral Word Association Test (COWAT) Time: Week 1 and 13
Description: The participants will self- rate their health using five dimensions provided (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression) and five response levels: no problems, slight, moderate, severe, unable to/extreme problems. The EQ- Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) records the respondent's overall current health (0-100). Higher VAS scores represent best perceived health and vice versa.
