Dementia study for older adults with prior brain checks
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study follows older adults who have already had amyloid testing, to track changes in memory and thinking over time. It helps researchers understand how to prevent dementia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 66 years old or older.
- You must have had a brain scan or spinal tap to check for amyloid protein before joining.
- You must be able to read, write, and speak English well.
- You need a study partner over 18 who knows you and can help answer questions about your daily life at least twice a month.
- You should be willing to attend study visits and follow the study plan.

This study looks at brain changes in people with mild memory problems to find early signs of Alzheimer's disease. You and a study partner can help by sharing information about your daily life.
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 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 looks at how thinking and memory change as we age. It involves tests, blood samples, and brain scans to better understand cognitive decline.
This study follows people with normal thinking, early memory problems, or Alzheimer's disease to understand how the brain changes over time. Researchers will use smell tests, blood work, and memory testing to learn more about these conditions and potentially help future treatments.
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.
