Diagnostic Evaluation of Dementia with Lewy Bodies Using a Multimodal Approach

Diagnostic Evaluation of Dementia with Lewy Bodies Using a Multimodal Approach: EEG, Cognitive, Biological and MRI Biomarkers


Sponsor

Enrollment

130 participants

Start Date

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Dementia with Lewy body disease (DLB) is the second leading cause of degenerative cognitive disorder after Alzheimer's disease (AD). Its variable clinical expression makes diagnosis difficult. To date, there is no validated DLB diagnostic biomarker, despite several biomarkers in development (EEG, MRI, biology). Studies have shown that an improvement in diagnostic performance could be obtained by combining different modalities biomarkers using machine learning. The aim of this research is to identify the best combination of multimodal biomarkers for the diagnosis of DLB (EEG, MRI, biology, cognitive scores), using a machine learning approach applied to a clinical cohort.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses multiple tests together — brain scans, spinal fluid analysis, and specialized cognitive assessments — to better diagnose and differentiate dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) from Alzheimer's disease (AD). Both conditions cause memory problems but have different causes and treatments. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) based on the 2017 McKeith criteria, OR with Alzheimer's disease (confirmed by CSF biomarkers) - Alternatively, if you are a control participant: you have no cognitive concerns - You can complete neuropsychological testing (good French language ability, no significant vision or hearing impairment) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have significant vision or hearing problems that prevent cognitive testing - You do not meet the diagnostic criteria for DLB or AD - You are a control patient but have cognitive complaints Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
