Why carry out this study?
|
A better understanding of the priorities and disease experience of individuals at risk for or living with AD and their care partners is critical for assessing the clinical meaningfulness of treatments along the continuum of AD |
Results may be used to identify or build clinical outcome assessments that capture important aspects of living with AD, such as impacts on psychological and emotional well-being |
These findings support the robustness of qualitative data collection in early phases of WMM studies and lay the groundwork for future research to capture rankings |
What did the study ask?
|
This study evaluated the importance of a set of 42 concepts identified in prior research, including treatment-related needs, symptoms, impacts, and outcomes, to individuals at risk for or living with AD and the care partners of individuals living with AD |
What was learned from the study?
|
A broad range of AD-related symptoms and impacts are important to individuals with or at risk for AD. The most important symptoms and impacts extend beyond memory and gross functional abilities to include emotional impacts and impacts on an individual’s ability to maintain their independence, health, and safety |
Care partners and individuals living with disease may rate the importance of the symptoms and impacts of AD differently and for different reasons. For patients, as an example, the desire to maintain independence appeared to be driven by a desire not to be a burden to their family or care partners. For caregivers, the same concept may have a different underlying driver, such as the desire to maintain the patient at home. Assessing these impacts and the underlying source of their importance to patients and to care partners may aid in understanding the clinical meaningfulness of current and emerging treatment options from both the perspective of the patient and of the care partner |
An incidental finding was striking: a majority (57.4%) of individuals in Group 1 (unimpaired cognition with evidence of AD pathology) reported having a problem with their memory or thinking despite being assessed by a physician as having unimpaired cognition. This may bolster the rationale for early intervention in this presymptomatic population |
Findings from this quantitative assessment are fully supportive of qualitative WMM phase 1 study results |
