简要总结
Older adults at risk for dementia show a variety of cognitive deficits, which can be ameliorated by different cognitive training (CT) exercises. The best combination of CT exercises is unknown. The aim is to discover the most efficacious combination of CT exercises as compared to cognitive stimulation (which will serve as a stringent, active control) to modify the functional trajectories of older adults' with MCI, who are at high risk for dementia. The primary objective of the U01 phase was to design and pilot-test an adaptive, randomized clinical trial (RCT) of cognitive training (CT) combinations aimed to enhance performance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) among persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In the R01 phase, the objective is to identify the best combination of CT exercises to delay dementia onset among persons with MCI. The longitudinal endpoint goal is reducing incident dementia. The primary aim of the study is to determine which CT combination has the best probability to delay dementia by producing the largest IADL improvements. The study further aims to explore neuroimaging and novel blood-based biomarkers.
详细描述
An Adaptive Clinical Trial of Cognitive Training to Improve Function and Delay Dementia: The ACTIVE MIND Trial.
In the U01 phase, the primary objective was to design and pilot-test an adaptive, randomized clinical trial (RCT) of cognitive training (CT) combinations aimed to enhance performance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) among persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The longitudinal endpoint goal is delaying dementia onset.
The secondary objectives of the U01 phase were:
- To pilot test a plan to recruit and enroll under-represented minorities with the goal of obtaining a sample representative of the USF population in race and ethnicity.
In the current R01 phase:

排除标准
- •Currently enrolled in another randomized clinical trial, treatment trial, or another research study that assesses cognition
- •Dementia diagnosis
- •Clinical Dementia Rating Scale of 1 or greater
- •History of large vessel stroke with significant residual motor or cognitive impairment
