Cognitive-driven ADL Impairment as a Predictor for PDD

February 9, 2022 updated by: PD Dr. Inga Liepelt-Scarfone, University Hospital Tuebingen

Cognitive-driven ADL Impairment as a Predictor for Parkinson's Disease Dementia (PDD)

Mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI) is the highest risk factor for Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD). The core feature for differentiating PDD from PD-MCI is the loss of the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). As Parkinson's Disease (PD) is primarily a movement disorder, the distinction between motor and cognitive contributions to ADL in PD is an obvious challenge, which the investigators aimed to explore in this study. The goal of the study is to evaluate whether PD-MCI patients with more pronounced, cognitive-driven ADL impairment are at higher risk for cognitive worsening and PDD. A longitudinal follow-up assessment of 262 non-demented PD patients will be conducted over the next two years, with a comprehensive clinical assessment as well as biomarker sampling (cerebrospinal fluid and blood markers). Primary longitudinal outcome will be conversion to PDD and PD-MCI. Conversion rates of patients with and without additional mild cognitive-driven ADL impairment at baseline will be compared. Novel scores of the Pfeffer Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ) are used to assess instrumental ADL, differentiating between cognitive- and motor-driven ADL impairment in PD-MCI.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

50 years to 90 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants of the already recruited ABC-PD (Amyloid-Beta in cerebrospinal fluid as a risk factor for cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease) cross-sectional cohort (Ethic Protocol of the Medical Faculty Tuebingen 686/2013B01) will be asked to participate in the follow-up assessment. A drop-out rate of 20% is expected for follow-up retention. Therefore, investigation of 209 patients will be conducted between August 2018 and April 2020.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participation in the baseline assessment
  • Ability to communicate well with the investigator, to understand and comply with the requirements of the study.
  • Provide written informed consent to participate in the study and understand their right to withdraw consent at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any disability that may prevent the subject from completing the informed consent form or other study requirements.
  • Other neurodegenerative disease which renders the subject unable to communicate well with the investigator or to understand and comply with the requirements of the study.
  • Participation in any clinical investigation of a new investigational compound or therapy within 4 weeks prior to baseline visit, and for any other limitation of participation based on local regulations.
  • Alcohol, medication or drug dependency or abuse (except for nicotine).
  • History of brain disease other than PD, e.g. head trauma, stroke, encephalitis, etc.

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
July 20, 2018

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
