Study of cell energy in Alzheimer's and other dementias
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how energy production in cells (mitochondria) differs in people with Alzheimer's or other dementias compared to healthy volunteers. It involves a one-time spinal tap to collect fluid for analysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had memory or thinking problems for at least 6 months (or you are a healthy volunteer with no such problems).
- You have already had a spinal tap (or are willing to have one) at the study center to check for Alzheimer's-related proteins.
- You have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, another dementia, or no cognitive issues (healthy volunteer).
- You are covered by a social security plan in France.
- You are not in a vulnerable situation (e.g., under legal protection).

This study looks at spinal fluid and MRI results in people with Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, or normal thinking (controls). It aims to understand differences in brain-related cells and measure what might help explain or track these conditions.
This study looks at how to better predict and understand Alzheimer's disease by using advanced brain scans and spinal fluid tests. It aims to find ways to identify people who stay healthy longer despite risk factors.
This study looks at how “slower movement” and brain changes relate to memory and thinking problems in people with early dementia (and some related conditions). It may help researchers understand what brain differences go with these symptoms, using tests and an MRI scan.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease and predict how the disease will progress. If you have memory or thinking problems that have been getting worse, you may be able to join.
This study looks at blood tests to help diagnose and track brain diseases (like Alzheimer's) or mental health conditions. It compares patients to healthy volunteers to find better ways to detect and monitor these illnesses.
This study supports Alzheimer’s research by collecting health and thinking (cognitive) test results and blood samples to study genetics and biomarkers. You may be enrolled if you’re age 40 or older and can do these checkups, even if you have mild memory problems or dementia.
