The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate whether low-dose whole-brain radiotherapy has a potential immunomodulatory effect that may influence disease progression in patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease (ICD-10 diagnosed).
The main question(s) it aims to answer are:
Does low-dose radiotherapy have an effect on cognitive function and disease progression in early Alzheimer's disease? Is the intervention safe and feasible in this patient population under clinical trial conditions?
If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare patients receiving low-dose whole-brain radiotherapy to a control group receiving a sham or non-active treatment, to assess potential differences in cognitive outcomes and disease-related parameters over time.
Participants will:
Undergo baseline diagnostic assessments including neuropsychological testing, MRI, EEG, and laboratory tests Be randomly assigned to one of two study groups Receive either low-dose whole-brain radiotherapy (6 sessions over 3 weeks) or a control condition Attend follow-up visits at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months including repeated cognitive testing and clinical assessments
