Investigation of AlzHeimer's Predictors in Subjective Memory Complainers - Extension Study (INSIGHT-2)

July 6, 2026 updated by: Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France
A regional, single-center, prospective, observational academic cohort will follow subjects who previously participated in the INSIGHT study and who agree an extension of their follow-up in the INSIGHT-2 research for additional 5-6 years. An annual multimodal evaluation (cognitive, oculomotor, biological and neuroimaging) will be proposed in order to describe the natural history of preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD). The primary endpoint is the conversion to the symptomatic stage in subjects at risk, identified by positive amyloid staining (A+) on florbetapir positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The size of the cohort is estimated to around 240 participants (61 A+ subjects) among the 318 participants included in the main cohort (88 A+ subjects). The follow-up in the INSIGHT-2 cohort will be lightened compared to that of the main cohort with an annual frequency of visits rather than a six-monthly one.

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.

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

70 years to 95 years (Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Other: All participants
Procedure: Electroencephalogram (EEG)
The EEG will be uniquely performed during for the whole study if a given subject converts to symptomatic AD or in the occurrence of significant cognitive decline.
Procedure: Oculomotor tests
All participants in the INSIGHT-2 study are invited to perform the oculomotor test, excepting subjects reporting oculomotor disorders.
Procedure: MRI
All INSIGHT-2 participants will undergo a baseline MRI (structural and resting state fMRI) a follow-up MRI at M12, M36 and M60.
Radiation: 18-F amyloid PET Scan
The primary endpoint is conversion to the symptomatic stage in subjects at risk, identified by positive amyloid staining (A+) on florbetapir PET imaging. Participants will receive an injection of 18F-Florbetapir prior to undergoing amyloid PET scanning. Florbetapir (18F) is an experimental imaging compound labeled with [18F] fluorine that decays by positron (β+) emission and has a half-life of 109.77 min. This procedure will be done at baseline.
Radiation: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET Scan
Participants will receive an injection of Fludeoxyglucose 18F prior to undergoing FDG-PET. The [18F]FDG is the most well-known radiopharmaceutical positron emitter, in both clinical and preclinical fields.
Biological: Blood sampling
A total of 80 ml of whole blood will be collected for each participant in the INSIGHT-2 study for routine laboratory assessment and biobank sampling.
Biological: Lumbar puncture
A lumbar puncture for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collection is proposed to all participants.
