Amélioration de la santé neurologique avec l'acétylcholine via un exercice informatisé basé sur la neuroplasticité dans le trouble cognitif léger (INHANCE-MCI)

This study is a validation study to evaluate efficacy of two neuroplasticity-based, computerized cognitive training programs to improve neurological and neuropsychological health in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Aperçu de l'étude

Description détaillée

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate will evaluate the impact of speed training to change cholinergic signaling, cognitive performance, and functional abilities in patients with MCI, as evidenced by [18F]fluoroethoxybenzovesamicol (FEOBV) positron-emission tomography (PET) and standard measures of cognition and function.

The investigators will employ a prospective, double-blind, parallel-arm, active-controlled, randomized clinical trial in patients with clinically-defined mild cognitive impairment aged 65 and above with a baseline MoCA of 18-26 inclusive.

Approximately 84 participants will be consented to ensure the successful completion of at least 70 participants (post 20% attrition). Participants will then complete the Screening (V0) assessments to determine eligibility. Following inclusion, participants will complete the Baseline (V1) assessments, PET imaging and structural MRI scan; participants will then be randomized into either the speed-based brain training or an active control of visual non-speeded computerized games and will engage in approximately 35 hours of program use for the 10-week Intervention Period. Following the 10-week intervention, participants will complete a Post-Intervention (V2) assessment, and PET imaging to evaluate changes in cognitive function. Participants will then stop using their assigned program for 3 months and return for a Follow-up (V3) end-of-study assessment and PET imaging to evaluate the endurance of changes in cognition, function, and behavior in the absence of further program use.

  5. Potential participant must demonstrate adequate decisional capacity, in the judgment of the investigator, and capable of to making an informed decision regarding their participation in this research study.

  6. Potential participant must be likely able to complete all study activities and outcome measures in the judgment of the investigator.

  7. Potential participant must have the visual, auditory, and motors capacity to use the computerized intervention in the judgment of the investigator.

  8. Potential participant must be able to communicate in either English or French.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Potential participant has an existing diagnosis of major neurocognitive disorder at screening (DSM-IV).
  2. Potential participant who answered 'yes' to question 5 (Active Suicidal Ideation with Specific Plan and Intent) on the C-SSRS or 'yes' to any of the suicide-related behaviors (actual attempt, interrupted attempt, aborted attempt, preparatory act or behavior) on the C-SSRS "Suicidal Behavior" if the ideation or behavior occurred within 2 months from Participant's date of consent (as recommended by the FDA for treatment trials.)
  3. Potential participant scores >10 on the Geriatric Depression Scale - Short Form (GDS-SF).
  4. Potential participant has previously completed 10 or more hours of the computerized cognitive intervention program manufactured by Posit Science.
  5. Potential participant is participating in a concurrent clinical trial (involving an investigational pharmaceutical, behavioral treatment, medical device or other) that, in the judgment of the investigator, could affect the outcome of this study.
  6. Potential participant is pregnant or breastfeeding.
  7. Potential participant has claustrophobia or implantation with any medical devices above the waist that may concentrate radio frequency fields or have other medical issues that may frustrate participation in MRI/PET imaging procedures.
  8. Potential participant has a history of large vessel stroke with significant residual motor or cognitive impairment.
  9. Potential participant has a history of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury with residual cognitive symptoms.
  10. Potential participant has a history of brain tumor.
  11. Potential participant has a congestive heart failure diagnosis.
  12. Potential participant has a primary diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
  13. Potential participant has multiple sclerosis or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis diagnosis.
  14. Potential participant has evidence of a non-neurodegenerative neurological disorder that would interfere with the ability to carry out study activities.
  15. Potential participant has has evidence of any other unstable medical conditions that would interfere with the ability to carry out study activities or cause fluctuations in cognition (for example, but not limited to, unstable diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder dependent on oxygen).
  16. Potential participant has any other clinically significant or unstable medical condition (for example, but not limited to, ongoing alcohol dependency or drug abuse, schizophrenia, psychosis) that in the investigator's opinion would interfere with the ability to carry out study activities.
