What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study is creating a simple test to check if people with Alzheimer's or similar conditions can understand and agree to medical decisions. Researchers will work with 100-150 participants to compare the new test with existing methods and look at brain scans and blood markers. The goal is to give doctors a practical way to ensure patients' rights are respected.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The DECISION study will recruit a well-characterized cohort of 100-150 adult participants, including individuals with neurocognitive disorders as well as cognitively healthy controls. The primary focus is on individuals aged 50 years and older with suspected or confirmed diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), vascular dementia, or mixed neurodegenerative pathologies. Participants may present with early-stage cognitive decline, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or more advanced stages of dementia. Participants will primarily be recruited from existing clinical studies conducted at LMU University Hospital, including the AmyClear and ActiGlia cohorts. These individuals have previously undergone extensive diagnostic workups, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker and PET analyses.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 50 years * Diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of a neurocognitive disorder (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, mixed forms) based on ICD-10 criteria * Ability to provide informed consent, or availability of a legally authorized representative * Sufficient language proficiency to complete cognitive assessments * Availability of a trusted informant (e.g., caregiver or relative) for external rating instruments * Willingness to participate in neuropsychological testing, blood sampling, and optional imaging Exclusion Criteria: * Severe sensory impairments (e.g., blindness, deafness) that prevent completion of assessments * Acute psychiatric conditions (e.g., psychosis, severe depression) that interfere with study procedures * History of major neurological disorders unrelated to dementia (e.g., traumatic brain injury, stroke with severe residual deficits) * Uncontrolled systemic illness or unstable medical condition * Refusal or inability to undergo necessary procedures (e.g., blood draw, optic coherence tomography, MRI) * Participation in another interventional study that could interfere with the outcomes of this study
