A Study to Compare Two Different Sleep Tests in Participants With No Symptoms or Early Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease

A Study to Assess the Use of the Somfit, an Ambulatory Electroencephalogram-Based Digital Health Technology, Compared With Polysomnography to Evaluate Sleep Architecture in Individuals With Asymptomatic or Early Alzheimer's Disease

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to compare the results of two different sleep tests in Alzheimer's patients with no symptoms or early symptoms. Participants will undergo two simultaneous sleep tests (polysomnography) in a sleep laboratory for two nights and one sleep test at home for three nights. For each participant, the study will last at least a week and will last up to three months.

  • Currently enrolled in another clinical study involving an investigational product or other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study.

Other illness

  • Severe illness that in the investigator's judgement would adversely affect the participant's participation in the study.
  • Skin illness that may interfere with study assessments.
  • Diagnosed with a sleep disorder.

Other

Who the study is looking for

  • Have mild cognitive impairment, subjective memory complaints, or normal cognition.
  • Evidence of the presence of Alzheimer's pathology as measured by amyloid positron emission tomography (PET), cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers (amyloid beta and tau), or blood biomarkers.
  • Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score of 24 or greater.
  • Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR) global score of 0 or 0.5.
