MR7T-PRADA: New Imaging Biomarkers Predictive of MA Progression
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The pathophysiology of AD is complex. In addition to amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary degeneration, there is a metabolic alteration of the energy pathways, oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, which are involved in brain function. Several authors have shown a series of early metabolic dysregulations via an increase in phosphorylation at the origin of neuronal death.
Ultra-high field imaging (7T MRI) may allow, with its better spatial resolution and advanced imaging techniques, to shed light on the mechanisms of progression of Alzheimer's disease. A Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) examination can be coupled to brain MRI without additional risk for the patient. Multinuclear 1H-31P metabolic imaging is a promising tool that can provide information on the metabolic evolutionary profile of AD. Thus, we propose a longitudinal study in patients with early-stage AD on 7T MRI-MRS.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To identify Magnetic Resonance Imaging biomarkers concentration (mmol/l) at baseline that are predictive of disability progression in individuals with Mild Alzheimer's disease as assessed by the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale [Baseline]
CDR scale : No dementia (CDR = 0), Uncertain disorders (CDR = 0.5), Mild disorders (CDR = 1), Moderate disorders (CDR = 2), Severe disorders (CDR = 3).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Correlation between Imaging biomarkers concentration (mmol/l) and plasma metabolic parameters concentration (mmol/l) at baseline, Month 6 (M6) and Month 12 (M12). [up of 12 months]
- Correlation between Imaging biomarkers concentration (mmol/l) and Urinary metabolic parameters (mmol/l) at baseline, Month 6 (M6) and Month 12 (M12). [up of 12 months]
- Correlation between Imaging biomarkers concentration (mmol/l) and Enzymatic and protein parameters concentration (mmol/l) at baseline, Month 6 (M6) and Month 12 (M12). [up of 12 months]
- Develop realistic mathematical models that integrate multiple parameters from all generated data to predict the progression of Alzheimer's disease, as evaluated using the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) [up of 12 months]
- Build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to predict disability progression in individuals with Mild Alzheimer's disease, as assessed by the Clinical Dementia Rating scale [up of 12 months]
