Who may be able to join
- People who meet recognised research criteria for mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease, with brain biomarkers that strongly suggest Alzheimer's-related changes.
- People aged 45 to 70 years old.
- People who show certain types of unusual electrical brain activity (epileptic activity and/or specific high-frequency signals) detected in particular areas of the brain.
- People who have a willing and available support person (such as a family member or carer) who has contact with them at least once a week.
- People who score 18 or above on a standard memory and thinking test (Mini-Mental State Examination) and/or score below 2 on a standard dementia rating scale (Clinical Dementia Rating) — these scores may come from a related UCLA study or be collected through a referring clinician.
Who may not be able to join
Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.
- People who have risk factors for unusual electrical brain activity (seizure-like activity) for reasons other than a brain-degenerating condition.
- People who are currently taking medications used to prevent or control seizures.
- People with severe damage to the white matter (the inner communication pathways) of the brain near the fluid-filled spaces.
- People with clinically significant small strokes deep in the brain (lacunar infarcts), as determined by a doctor.
- People who are currently taking blood-thinning (anticoagulant) medications.
- People with a serious illness affecting other parts of the body (confirm with trial site).
- People with a history of Korsakoff's syndrome (a brain disorder usually linked to severe alcohol use and vitamin deficiency).
- People with a history of alcohol or substance misuse that began before memory problems developed and continued within 5 years of when those problems started.
- People with an untreated vitamin B12 or folate (vitamin B9) deficiency.
- People with a history of head injury that caused lasting problems.
- People with untreated syphilis (a bacterial infection that can affect the brain).
- People with a history of multiple sclerosis or another condition involving inflammation of the nervous system.
- People with a history of dementia caused by problems with blood flow or multiple small strokes in the brain.
- People diagnosed with Huntington's disease.
- People with a history of normal pressure hydrocephalus (a condition where fluid builds up in the brain).
- People with a history of lesions (areas of damage or abnormal tissue) in the brain considered clinically significant by a doctor.
- People with an unresolved or current collection of blood between the brain and its outer covering (subdural hematoma).
- People with a history of bleeding inside the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage).
- People with serious liver disease.
- People whose kidneys function so poorly that they require dialysis.
- People who have had a brain infection such as encephalitis (brain inflammation) or meningitis (infection of the membranes around the brain).
- People with severe white matter disease in the brain, as measured by a score of 3 on a specific brain scan rating scale.
- People with small deep-brain strokes considered clinically significant by a doctor.
- People who have had a stroke affecting the outer layer of the brain (cortex).
- People with a breathing condition that requires ongoing oxygen use.
- People with untreated underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
- People with any other medical condition that the trial investigators consider likely to create an unacceptable risk of harm.
- People taking medications that are likely to affect how the brain works (such as benzodiazepines or narcotic pain medications) — note that people taking cholinesterase inhibitors or memantine may still be considered, provided the dose has been stable for at least 30 days before entering the study.
