Korean Brain Aging Study for Early Diagnosis and Prediction of Alzheimer's disease2 (KBASE2)

Korean Brain Aging Study for Early Diagnosis and Prediction of Alzheimer's disease2

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The KBASE2 is the second phase of the KBASE project, which consists of roll-over participants from the first phase of the KBASE as well as newly enrolled participants with varying degrees of cognitive functions (e.g. individuals with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment, or AD dementia). In addition to the aims of the first phase of the KBASE, the KBASE2 will focus on new data collection and integrative analysis of the rich structural, functional, and molecular neuroimaging data in relation to whole genome sequencing and other -omics. Network analysis of disruption in brain connectivity in relation to clinical status and AD biomarker profiles also will be conducted.
