About this trial

Bio-Hermes-002 is a 120-day cross-sectional study that will result in a blood, CSF, retinal, digital, MRI, and PET brain imaging biomarker database that can be used to determine the primary objective. Digital biomarkers and blood-based biomarkers will be tested to determine whether a meaningful relationship exists between biomarkers alone or in combination with tau or amyloid brain pathology identified through PET images.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Participant is between 60 to 90 years of age (inclusive) at the time of consent; and

Participant has a study partner who has sufficient and frequent contact with the participant (defined as at least 8 hours of contact a week) and is able to provide accurate information regarding the participant's cognitive and functional abilities.

Participants must provide written consent in the IRB-approved or Ethics Committee (EC) approved informed consent form or have a legally authorized representative (LAR) provide written consent on the participant's behalf in accordance with local and national guidance and regulation;

Participants must be willing to undergo an MRI brain scan within 90 days and an amyloid and tau PET scan within 120 days of signing informed consent;

Disqualifiers

Participant is unable to undergo amyloid and tau PET scans due to self-reported pregnancy, sensitivity to ligands being used, poor venous access, contraindication to PET, or planned or recent exposure to ionizing radiation that in combination with the planned administration of amyloid radioligand would result in a cumulative exposure that exceeds recommended local guidelines;

Participants who have reported or have a known negative amyloid PET scan in the past 6 months;

Participants with any known contraindication to brain MRI scan;

Participants with history of stroke or seizures within 1 year of the Pre-Screening Visit;
