August 12, 2025 updated by: Spark Neuro Inc.

SPARK Neuro Quantitative Resting State EEG Protocol for Assessing Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease Status- The REMIND Study

The study utilizes investigational software, the SPARK Test, with an FDA-cleared electroencephalography (EEG) amplifier and EEG cap to collect and patient EEG data.

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.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to collect data to support development of an algorithm to determine whether applying machine-learning techniques to eyes open/eyes closed resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) can characterize patient's cognitive status and detect the presence or absence of AD on the basis of the patient's EEG.

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.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
185

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

55 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age 55 to 85 at the time of consent
  2. Informant available and willing (remotely or in-person) to provide information about sleep patterns and cognitive functioning who spends >8 hours per week with primary subject
  3. Subject or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) has the ability to provide informed consent and comply with the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Unable to remain still for up to 30 minutes during EEG data recording
  2. Subjects currently on and unable to wash out concomitant medications, including: 1) opiates; 2) benzodiazepines and nonbenzodiazepine hypnotics; 3) sedative antihistamines; 4) tricyclic anti-depressants; 5) skeletal muscle relaxants; 6) antiepileptics; 7) antipsychotics; 8) antimanic agents; 9) THC; 10) anticholinergics
  3. Previous history of craniotomy
  4. Medical or psychiatric illness that would interfere with study participation
  5. History of epilepsy or chronic seizure disorder
  6. Presence of non-dental metal in head

  8. Subject meets at least one of the following criteria:

    1. Diagnosis of cognitive impairment from various underlying pathologies as indicated by one of the diagnostic codes listed in Appendix A (protocol)
    2. MMSE score of 27 or less
    3. Treating physician or PI have documented that the patient is cognitively impaired, with judgment of cognitive impairment having been made within the 6 months prior to enrollment
  9. Substance Use Disorder, including Alcohol

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
EEG Data collection for AI software development
Time Frame: During the diagnostic procedure
Rate of complete software collection per enrolled subjects complete a SPARK Test recording.
During the diagnostic procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean absolute error for specific cognitive assessment
Time Frame: 10 weeks
Mean absolute error for Alzheimer's disease Assessment Scale - 14-item cognitive sbuscale (ADAS-Cog-14), Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL), iADRS, CDR and (Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE)
10 weeks

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Alzheimer's Disease positive vs. negative indication for biomarker-confirmed AD
Time Frame: 10 weeks
Rate of concordance between SPARK Test predicted Alzheimer's Disease positive/negative for biomarker-confirmed AD as measured by CSF-based markers including amyloid-Beta, Tau, phosphorylated-Tau, proteins related to amyloid processing or PET-based imaging.
