Collecting samples to study memory and thinking disorders
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study collects blood and spinal fluid samples from people who are already having these tests done as part of their memory evaluation. The samples are stored for future research to better understand Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 years or older).
- You must not be under legal guardianship or conservatorship.
- Your doctor must have ordered blood or spinal fluid tests (biomarkers) to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease.
- You must sign a consent form to participate.
- You must be covered by a social security scheme (e.g., French health insurance).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people who are being checked for memory or thinking problems. It uses standard tests done at the memory clinic, like a spinal tap and blood draw, plus memory and thinking tests, to learn more about these symptoms. You can join if these tests are already planned as part of your regular care, even if you don't take part in the study.
This study looks at how energy production in cells (mitochondria) differs in people with Alzheimer's or other dementias compared to healthy volunteers. It involves a one-time spinal tap to collect fluid for analysis.
This trial looks at how blood biomarkers relate to thinking, daily function, and survival in older adults, including those with neurological issues or dementia. It aims to improve understanding and care for hospitalized seniors.
This study looks at neurofilament light (a brain/nerve injury marker) and how it relates to thinking and memory problems in people with certain psychiatric conditions. It may help researchers understand brain changes and cognitive impairment, which could guide better diagnosis in the future.
This study looks at how to better predict and understand Alzheimer's disease by using advanced brain scans and spinal fluid tests. It aims to find ways to identify people who stay healthy longer despite risk factors.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease and predict how the disease will progress. If you have memory or thinking problems that have been getting worse, you may be able to join.
