Alzheimer Disease Clinical Trial
— HAPPCAP-ADOfficial title:
HAPPCAP-AD (Human-APPlication Combined Approach for Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease
Currently, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has no cure putting prevention-strategies in the forefront for impeding the public health and personal consequences of this devastating disease. Seven major potentially modifiable risk factors show consistent association with AD (midlife type 2 diabetes [T2D], midlife hypertension, midlife obesity, physical inactivity, depression, smoking, and low educational attainment), with combined population-attributable risk of 30%1. A recent extensive literature review of randomized control trials on single lifestyle interventions for AD yielded negative results. The multidomain preDIVA2,3 (Prevention of Dementia by Intensive Vascular Care) and MAPT4,5 (Multidomain Alzheimer Prevention Trial) studies raised concerns regarding the multidomain approach. The multidomain lifestyle model approach of the FINGER6,7 study (Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability) brought some optimism after it presented positive results; several replication trials around the world have been launched8. However, 1) all trials focus on the elderly, 2) the impact of midlife risk factors on dementia risk is stronger than late life, and 3) the neurodegenerative changes in AD begin decades before its clinical manifestations9. A recent study showed that 2 or more cardiovascular risk factors in midlife (but not late life) predicted amyloid aggregation10. Main goals: To examine the feasibility and provide pilot data on effectiveness of a novel "real-life" personalized 18-months intervention for prevention of cognitive decline in middle-aged individuals (age 40-65-year-old) at high AD risk due to AD parental family history. We will implement an approach "diary-monitoring" ("Risk factors log" which will filled daily by participants, using the REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) software's survey) with study team guidance. We hypothesize that daily risk-factors documentation in personal "Risk factors log" will increase participant's engagement in the intervention and will enable the study team to accumulate health information, in order to improve support and counselling for improvement of risk factors. In addition to examining the feasibility of our approach, we will explore its effectiveness in both improving risk factors values, as well as improving cognitive function by comparing the HAPPCAP-AD intervention group to "control group". Last, our study will lay the foundations for a strong long-term large-scale preventive intervention in the future. We will compare this group to a partially passive control.

Primary | "Risk factors log" response rate | "Risk factors log" response rate will be measured as an adherence to the intervention surrogate (response rate will be calculated as the number of submitted daily "Risk factors logs" divided by number of days in the study) | 18 months | |
Secondary | Percent of weekly physical activity time modification in "unbalanced" participants | For participants with less than 150 minutes of weekly physical activity at baseline , percentage of relative change between weekly physical activity time (in minutes) values at baseline and 18 months (will be calculated as {([time at 18 months/ time at base line]-1)*100}. | 18 months | |
Secondary | Percent of Body Mass Index (BMI) modification in "unbalanced" participants | For participants with BMI greater than 25 kg/m2 at baseline, percentage of relative change between BMI (BMI values at baseline and 18 months (will be calculated as {([BMI at 18 months/ BMI at base line]-1)*100}. | 18 months | |
Secondary | Percent of number of smoked cigarettes' modification in "unbalanced" participants | For participants who smoke at baseline, percentage of relative change between number of smoked cigarettes (number of smoked cigarettes at baseline and 18 months (will be calculated as {([number of smoked cigarettes at 18 months/ number of smoked cigarettes at base line]-1)*100}. | 18 months | |
Secondary | Percent of systolic blood pressure values modification in "unbalanced" participants | For participants with hypertension at baseline (worse than 125/85 mm Hg), percentage of relative change between systolic blood pressure (in mm Hg at baseline and 18 months (will be calculated as {([systolic blood pressure at 18 months/ systolic blood pressure at base line]-1)*100}. | 18 months | |
Secondary | Percent of HBA1C% values modification in "unbalanced" participants | For participants with unbalanced diabetes at baseline, percentage of relative change between HBA1C% (at baseline and 18 months (will be calculated as {([HBA1C% at 18 months/ HBA1C% at base line]-1)*100}. | 18 months | |
Secondary | Percent of depression modification in "unbalanced" participants | For participants with unbalanced depression at baseline, percentage of relative change between number of participants with depression according to their CES-D (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale) questionnaire total score (at baseline and 18 months (will be calculated as {([CES-D total score at 18 months/ CES-D total score at base line]-1)*100}. | 18 months | |
Secondary | Global cognitive function change | The influence of study intervention on global cognitive function will be assessed by calculating the changes in global cognitive function using a Z score between baseline and after 18 month (this is an exploratory aim since this is a pilot study).
(Global cognition z score was obtained by averaging the domains [memory, language, executive function, attention] z scores) Higher Z score represent better global cognitive function |
18 months | |
Secondary | Change of the memory domain | The influence of study intervention on memory domain will be assessed by calculating the changes in memory function using a Z score between baseline and after 18 month (this is an exploratory aim since this is a pilot study).
Higher Z score represent better memory function |
18 months | |
Secondary | Change of the language domain | The influence of study intervention on language domain will be assessed by calculating the changes in language function using a Z score between baseline and after 18 month (this is an exploratory aim since this is a pilot study).
Higher Z score represent better language function |
18 months | |
Secondary | Change of the executive function domain | The influence of study intervention on executive function domain will be assessed by calculating the changes in executive function domain using a Z score between baseline and after 18 month (this is an exploratory aim since this is a pilot study).
Higher Z score represent better executive function domain function |
