Amyloid Prediction in Early Stage Alzheimer's Disease Through Speech Phenotyping - PAST Extension

A Study to Evaluate the Ability of Speech- and Language-based Digital Biomarkers to Detect and Characterise Prodromal and Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease in a Clinical Setting - AMYPRED-US PAST Extension Study

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether a set of algorithms analysing acoustic and linguistic patterns of speech can detect amyloid-specific cognitive impairment in early stage Alzheimer's disease, based on archival spoken or written language samples, as measured by the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve of the binary classifier distinguishing between amyloid positive and amyloid negative arms. Secondary objectives include (1) evaluating how many years before diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) such algorithms work, as measured on binary classifier performance of the classifiers trained to classify MCI vs cognitively normal (CN) arms using archival material from the following time bins before MCI diagnosis: 0-5 years, 5-10 years, 10-15 years, 15-20 years, 20-25 years; (2) evaluating at what age such algorithms can detect later amyloid positivity, as measured on binary classifier performance of the classifiers trained to classify amyloid positive vs amyloid negative arms using archival material from the following age bins: younger than 50, 50-55, 55-60, 65-70, 70-75 years old.
