Early Alzheimer's detection using scans, genetics and blood
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain scans, blood tests, and genetic information to find early signs of Alzheimer's disease before memory problems start. It aims to predict who might develop Alzheimer's in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 79 years old.
- You have at least 8 years of education.
- You have no history of stroke or other brain conditions like Parkinson's, epilepsy, or brain tumors.
- You have not been diagnosed with severe anxiety or depression.
- You do not have any metal implants or other reasons that would make an MRI unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses brain scans (MRI and EEG) to better understand Alzheimer's disease. It compares people with MCI or Alzheimer's to healthy volunteers to see how the disease affects the brain.
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 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.
This study at Duke University is looking for people aged 25 to 80 who may be at risk for Alzheimer's disease. It involves brain scans (MRI and PET) and a spinal tap to learn more about the disease and find better ways to detect and treat it early.
This study is looking for older adults (60–90) who are either cognitively normal, have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or have mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's dementia. It aims to see how digital tests and blood-based markers relate to brain scans (amyloid and tau PET). You will need a study partner, undergo MRI and PET scans, and give blood samples.
This study tests strategies to prevent Alzheimer's disease in people with early memory concerns. It may help if you notice your thinking is not as sharp as before, but you can still manage daily tasks on your own.
