COMPASS-ND: Comprehensive Assessment of Neurodegeneration and Dementia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a 5-year observational study recruiting sixteen hundred and fifty individuals between the ages of 50 and 90 with different types of dementia as well as a comparison group of six hundred and fifty aged matched individuals without cognitive deficits. Participants will be recruited at sites across Canada and will undergo assessments and provide biological samples at baseline and two years after baseline.

Detailed Description
This is a 5-year observational study. Sixteen-hundred and fifty (1650) subjects, between the ages of 50 and 90,years old, with Subjective Cognitive Impairment, Mild Cognitive Impairment, Mild Cognitive Impairment with subcortical vascular lesions, Alzheimer's Disease, Mixed dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, Parkinson's Disease Dementia, Parkinson's Disease with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Frontotemporal Dementia, as well as 650 healthy elderly subjects without cognitive complaints or deficits, will be enrolled into this study from up to 30 centres across Canada. All subjects involved in the study will undergo rigorous evaluations at baseline, including clinical assessment, neuropsychological assessment, genomics and neuroimaging. Biological samples from blood, saliva, urine, fecal matter, buccal cells and cerebrospinal fluid will be collected, stored, and analyzed. Basic follow-up determining if there has been any change in their diagnosis will be carried out annually and longitudinal re-evaluation will be carried out after two years.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Normal healthy elderly participants with no subjective or objective cognitive deficits or decline. |
|
Subjective Cognitive Decline Participants with a complaint of subjective cognitive impairment, but no objective evidence of such. |
|
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) Participants with objective evidence of cognitive impairment, but it does not impact on daily function. |
|
Vascular MCI Participants meeting criteria of MCI who also show signs of cerebrovascular disease on imaging but have no history of stroke. |
|
Alzheimer's Disease Participants with dementia of the Alzheimer's type according to the National Institute of Aging-Alzheimer's Association criteria |
|
Dementia of Mixed Etiology Participants with dementia and evidence of more than one etiology. |
|
Lewy Body/Parkinson's spectrum Participants with Parkinson's disease who show mild or moderate cognitive impairment and/or dementia. |
|
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) spectrum Participants with behavioral variant FTD, primary progressive aphasia, progressive supranuclear palsy, or corticobasal syndrome |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score [2 years]
change in MoCA total score. The MoCA is a test of global cognition scored out of 30 with a higher score indicating better performance. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum score is 30.

-
Geographic accessibility to the study site
-
Must have a study partner who can participate as required in the protocol (provide corroborative information)
Exclusion Criteria:
-
The presence of other significant known chronic brain disease such as: moderate to severe chronic static leukoencephalopathy (including previous traumatic injury), multiple sclerosis, a serious developmental handicap, malignant tumors, Parkinson's disease (other than for the Parkinson's/Lewy Body Dementia cohort), and other rarer brain illnesses
-
Ongoing alcohol or drug abuse which in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with the subject's ability to comply with the study procedures
-
Symptomatic stroke within the previous year
-
MoCA < 13
