This paper reviews the current status of the Clinical Core of the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), and summarizes planning for the next stage of the project. Clinical Core activities and plans were synthesized based on discussions among the Core leaders and external advisors. The longitudinal data in ADNI2 provide natural history data on a clinical trials population and continue to inform refinement and standardization of assessments, models of trajectories, and clinical trial methods that have been extended into sporadic preclinical AD. Plans for the next phase of the ADNI project include maintaining longitudinal follow-up of the normal and MCI cohorts, augmenting specific clinical cohorts and incorporating novel computerized cognitive assessments and patient-reported outcomes. A major hypothesis is that AD represents a gradually progressive disease that can be identified precisely in its long pre-symptomatic phase, during which intervention with potentially disease-modifying agents may be most useful.
