Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease and Affective Disorders by Automated Voice and Speech Analysis (PLATA)

An observational study in Neurocognitive Disorders, sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice. Recruiting at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 50 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-19.

Why
  1. The study's title name Alzheimer Disease, a narrower term within Neurocognitive Disorders.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own title. Of 46 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 72% were exactly right and 89% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 4% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

PLATA aims to develop an algorithm to identify vocal biomarkers of Alzheimer's dementia.

Using data collected as part of routine care, speech patterns will be compared to known biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, such as amyloid 1-42 and p-Tau in CSF (cerebrospinal fluid).

If biomarkers of speech can be identified in Alzheimer's disease, it is possible that patients and research participants will no longer need to undergo need to undergo the intensive and invasive baseline biomarker methods currently used, such as lumbar punctures and PET scans.

Study population

Participants will be recruited through the Memory Clinic at the Geriatric Hospital in Nice (Centre de Mémoire de Ressources et de Recherche, CHU de Nice, Institut Claude Pompidou 10 rue Molière, 06 100 NICE) with a minor or major neurocognitive disorder whose etiology is either:

  • Probable Alzheimer's disease (positive AD biomarkers)
  • Mood disorder
  • Not related to a mood disorder and with negative AD biomarkers

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

  • Cognitively healthy to very mild dementia (CDR score max. 0.5)
  • Sufficient knowledge of the study language to understand study information, non opposition form,and questionnaires
  • Expression of non opposition

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Groups and cohorts

  • Patients with a minor or major neurocognitive disorder

    Every patient will receive one semi-automated phone call, during the call a series of cognitive tasks will be performed. Each task will be recorded in a secondary audio stream which records the participant responses to allow for deep speech analysis of performance on these tasks

    Other: Series of cognitive tasks during a semi-automated call

Interventions

  • OtherSeries of cognitive tasks during a semi-automated call

    Tasks: * Verbal learning recall (immediate) or Story Recall task (immediate) * Narrative Storytelling /free speech * Verbal fluency task * Verbal learning recall (delayed) or Story Recall task (delayed)

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jul 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2027, 50 months after the start.

Of 364 non-industry observational studies under Alzheimer Disease, half reached primary completion within 81 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 39 and three quarters within 203. This study's planned 50 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 405 studies reached it within 67 months; a quarter within 35 and three quarters within 171.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 19, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
