Eye scans and blood tests for early Alzheimer's detection
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses special eye scans and blood tests to find early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to detect the disease before memory loss becomes severe, so treatment can start sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You have been told you have Alzheimer's disease, mild memory problems, or just feel your memory is slipping — or you have no memory concerns.
- You do not have another brain condition (like Parkinson's or a stroke) that affects your memory.
- You can complete a memory and thinking test (with help if needed).
- You are willing to have a blood sample taken.

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 eye scan to look for abnormal protein deposits in the retina, which may be linked to Alzheimer's disease. It is for people who are generally healthy but have mild memory concerns or mild cognitive impairment.
This study looks at tiny particles in the blood that may show early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to help with earlier diagnosis and monitoring, which could lead to better care and treatment opportunities.
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.
This study is testing whether a simple blood draw can help spot early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to include people from diverse backgrounds who do not currently have memory problems, which may help make early detection more accessible for everyone.
This study uses MRI brain scans and memory tests to help detect early Alzheimer’s disease. It compares people with Alzheimer’s (diagnosed by a clinician) with people without memory problems to see which scan and test results stand out.
