Plain-English translation of NCT07732842 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ ·
Researchers are trying to understand repetitive behaviors in Alzheimer's disease—actions or statements people repeat in ways that don't make sense or serve a purpose. This study will compare people with Alzheimer's who have repetitive behaviors, those who don't, and healthy people to see if there are patterns in how memory loss, awareness of problems, and repetitive behaviors are connected.
Repetitive behaviors happen in some people with Alzheimer's but not others, and doctors don't fully understand why or what causes them. This research aims to fill that gap by exploring whether the inability to form new memories might explain why these behaviors develop in certain patients.

Participants will attend several visits where they complete thinking and memory tests and answer questions about their daily behaviors. The researchers will also ask them to complete sentence starters—simple writing tasks repeated across different visits—to study patterns in how people respond. Family caregivers or support people will also be asked to provide information about the participant's behaviors and symptoms.
