BioFINDER 2 study for healthy aging and memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain scans and a spinal fluid test to better understand memory and thinking changes in different groups, from people with healthy thinking to early or established dementia. If you qualify, it may help researchers learn what’s driving these conditions and how they progress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 40 to 100, depending on the group you’re screened for
- You have no serious, uncontrolled medical illness that would make visits hard
- You can avoid or agree to the tests: spinal tap (lumbar puncture), MRI, and/or PET scan
- You do not have current serious alcohol or drug misuse
- You can speak and understand Swedish enough to do study interviews and thinking tests without an interpreter
- You meet the study’s thinking/diagnosis level (healthy, mild symptoms, Alzheimer’s dementia, or other dementia)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is looking for healthy volunteers to help detect the very earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease—before memory loss starts. You will have tests like memory checks, blood draws, brain scans, and a spinal tap to look for Alzheimer's-related changes.
This research study looks at people who have noticed problems with memory or thinking (like trouble focusing or finding words) and visit their primary care doctor for help. It aims to better understand and diagnose conditions that cause these symptoms, such as Alzheimer's disease.
This trial looks for signs of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain by using memory and thinking tests, and related study procedures. It may help researchers find better ways to identify Alzheimer’s-related changes earlier.
This Phase 3 study looks for blood/brain “biomarkers” linked to aging, memory changes, and early brain degeneration. It may help researchers better identify who is at risk and how biology relates to thinking and memory, using brain scans and thinking tests.
This extension study looks for predictors—measurable clues—linked to memory changes in older adults who feel their memory is worsening. You may be asked to have an amyloid PET scan, which can help researchers understand what might be driving memory concerns.
This study uses brain scans (PET) to look at changes in the brain that may be related to memory problems or Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve understanding of the disease and may help develop better treatments.
