Study of Alzheimer’s disease using brain scans in China
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain imaging to understand early changes in Alzheimer's disease. It may help people with or without memory problems learn more about their condition and support future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 90 years old.
- You either have normal thinking and memory (cognitive unimpaired) or you have some memory loss (cognitive impaired).
- If you are a woman, you must be postmenopausal, surgically sterilized, or use effective birth control.
- If you are a man, you must use effective birth control during the study.
- You must be able to have an MRI brain scan (no metal implants or claustrophobia).

This study follows people who are closely related to someone diagnosed with Alzheimer’s to see who develops memory or brain changes over time. It may help researchers understand risk and early signs, which could guide prevention in families like yours.
This study uses brain scans or spinal fluid tests to confirm Alzheimer's-related changes. It aims to track the disease over time to better understand and improve care.
This study looks at the financial and health effects of Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) in China. It aims to understand how the disease affects patients and families over time.
This study looks for brain/biological “signals” (biomarkers) that may identify Alzheimer’s disease earlier, including stages before clear symptoms. You may be followed for about 5 years, with repeated memory and thinking testing to see how these signs relate to future diagnosis.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for inflammation in the brains of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects memory and thinking problems.
This study uses a special PET brain scan to look at two types of brain immune cells in people with Alzheimer’s. It may help researchers better understand Alzheimer’s and how these cells change over time.
