Study on memory changes in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years or older.
- You have not been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
- You are able to take memory tests, give blood or other samples, and have a brain scan.
- You do not have serious health issues like severe mental illness, advanced cancer, or severe liver or kidney problems.
- You do not have vision or hearing problems that would make the tests difficult.
- You are able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants, pacemakers, or other reasons that make MRI unsafe).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
This study follows adults 40+ to better understand and track changes in memory and thinking as people age. It groups people with normal thinking, subjective complaints, mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer’s, and vascular (blood vessel) related brain changes to find what predicts progression.
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 study checks how age affects memory and thinking, and compares people with mild memory problems, Alzheimer’s disease types, vascular dementia, and healthy controls. You may help researchers understand brain changes using thinking tests, MRI scans, and blood or spinal fluid tests.
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.
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.
