Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect after 12 weeks of the oral intake of Lecitone®Se + 200UI/day of D3 vitamin with the effect of a placebo on changes in cognitive performance in Trial Making Test score part B (this test evaluate executive functions of mental flexibility) in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

- Change in executive performance [ Time Frame: This outcome is assessed at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks after inclusion. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Executive performance is measured with Trial Making Test part B (TMT B)
- Change in other executive scores [ Time Frame: This outcome is assessed at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks after inclusion. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Test parts A and B, Stoop test, Processing Speed Index
- Change in posture [ Time Frame: This outcome is assessed at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks after inclusion. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Time Up & Go, Five Time Sit-to-Stand and spatio-temporal analysis of walking
- Between-group comparison of compliance to treatment [ Time Frame: This outcome is assessed at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks after inclusion. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]This outcome is assessed together with the serum concentrations of 25OHD and calcium

|---|---|
|
Active Comparator: Intervention
80 participants start the oral intake of Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3 the day after inclusion and during 24 weeks
|
Drug: Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3
Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3 is a dietary supplement combining the active ingredients in Lecitone®Se and 100 IU of vitamin D3. This dietary supplement comes in capsule form. Participants take 2 capsules of Lecitone®Se -Vitamin D3 per day. The dose of vitamin D supplementation will not be adjusted except in case of an adverse event such as hypercalcemia. In this case, vitamin D supplementation is stopped and the participant is released prematurely from the study. Other Name: Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3
|
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
80 participants in this arm start the oral intake of placebo the day after inclusion and during 12 weeks. Then, they start the oral intake of Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3 12 weeks after inclusion until the 24th week. |
Drug: Placebo
The comparator is represented by placebo capsules of identical appearance (same size, same color and same smell) that Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3 capsules.
Other Name: Placebo

Detailed Description:
Current treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are symptomatic and can only temporarily slow down AD without altering its natural evolution. The development of new therapies has primarily focused on preventing the progression of AD. This therapeutic strategy involves being interested in patients with an early stage of AD such as a mild cognitive impairment (MCI). We hypothesized that the combination of Lecitone®Se with 200 IU/day of vitamin D can slow or even improve cognitive decline, particularly executive functions.
The primary objective of this trial is to compare the effect after 12 weeks of the oral intake of Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3 with the effect of a placebo on changes in performance obtained in the TMT B in the older adults with a MCI.
The secondary objectives of the study are as follows:
- To compare the effect after 12 weeks of the oral intake of Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3 with the effect of a placebo on changes in executive performance in patients with a MCI.
- To compare the effect after 12 weeks of the oral intake of Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3 with the effect of a placebo on changes in variability of stride time in patients with a MCI.
- To compare the effect after 24 weeks of the oral intake of Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3 with the effect of a placebo and a delay phase of supplementation on changes in executive performance in patients with a MCI.
- To compare the effect after 24 weeks of the oral intake of Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3 with the effect of a placebo and a delay phase of supplementation on changes in variability of stride time in patients with a MCI.
- To determine the compliance and tolerance of the oral intake of Lecitone®Se-Vitamin D3 in patients with a MCI.
