Clinical Trial Summary

The VOICE Of bvFTD study is a telephone interview research study about life with or at risk for behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). The study aims to understand how bvFTD impacts individuals' day to day lives, how people think about themselves, and what challenges they face.


Clinical Trial Description

The VOICE Of bvFTD study is a study being conducted at the University of Pennsylvania. The study was developed and initiated in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the National Human Genome Research Institute. The goal of this study is to learn more about what it is like to live with or at high risk of developing behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). The study will involve telephone interviews to help learn as much as possible about living with bvFTD. The hope is that this will guide future research, resource development, and clinical practice. Participants will have at least two phone calls from the study team. During the initial phone call, which will take about 15 to 20 minutes, the participant will be asked some basic questions about demographics and the study details will be reviewed as part of the consent process. During another call the participant will be asked some questions to assess his or her thinking, and will complete the interview which will last about 30 to 60 minutes. There are no physical or medical procedures included in this study. The consent process, screening, interview scheduling, and the interview itself will take place over two or three phone calls, which may occur over several weeks. A person may be able to take part in this study if they are a person with bvFTD, or if they have been found to have a genetic change that causes bvFTD. ;
