Abstract

Background

As literature suggests that Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD) and late-onset AD may differ in important ways, need exists for randomized clinical trials for treatments tailored to EOAD. Accurately measuring reliable cognitive change in individual patients with EOAD will have great value for these trials.

Objectives

The current study sought to characterize and validate 12-month reliable change from the Longitudinal Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Study (LEADS) neuropsychological battery.

Design

Standardized regression-based (SRB) prediction equations were developed from age-matched cognitively intact participants within LEADS, and applied to clinically impaired participants from LEADS.

Setting

Participants were recruited from outpatient academic medical centers.

Participants

Participants were enrolled in LEADS and diagnosed with amyloid-positive EOAD (n = 189) and amyloid-negative early-onset cognitive impairment not related to AD (EOnonAD; n = 43).

Measurement

12-month reliable change (Z-scores) was compared between groups across cognitive domain composites, and distributions of individual participant trajectories were examined. Prediction of Z-scores by common AD biomarkers was also considered.

Results

Both EOAD and EOnonAD displayed significantly lower 12-month follow-up scores than were predicted based on SRB equations, with declines more pronounced for EOAD across several domains. AD biomarkers of cerebral β-amyloid, tau, and EOAD-specific atrophy were predictive of 12-month change scores.

Conclusions

The current results support including EOAD patients in longitudinal clinical trials, and generate evidence of validation for using 12-month reliable cognitive change as a clinical outcome metric in clinical trials in EOAD cohorts like LEADS. Doing so will enhance the success of EOAD trials and permit a better understanding of individual responses to treatment.
