Blood test for early Alzheimer's detection in memory clinics
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a new blood test for Alzheimer's-related proteins (p-tau217) can help doctors diagnose memory problems earlier and more accurately. It is for people who have recently noticed cognitive issues but haven't yet been diagnosed or treated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your family have noticed new memory or thinking problems in the last 4 weeks (like forgetting things or trouble concentrating).
- You have not been to a doctor for these problems or taken any memory medication in the last 18 months.
- You have never had a PET scan, spinal tap, or blood test specifically for Alzheimer's-related proteins.
- No other brain condition (like a tumor or stroke) is known to cause your symptoms, and you are otherwise healthy enough to participate.
- You are willing to give blood samples and follow study procedures for the duration of the study.

This study tests whether a simple blood test can help detect Alzheimer's disease in people who visit their primary care doctor with memory concerns. It aims to improve early diagnosis at the community level.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can help doctors diagnose Alzheimer's disease earlier and more accurately. It's for people who are having memory or thinking problems and are visiting a memory clinic.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors detect Alzheimer's disease early, even before symptoms are clear. It is designed for people who are worried about their memory or thinking and want to find out more.
This study uses a simple blood test to quickly detect Alzheimer's-related brain changes (amyloid plaques). It may help people with memory concerns avoid a more invasive PET scan and get answers faster.
This study is testing a simple blood test (p-Tau217) as a possible way to diagnose Alzheimer's disease. If it works, it might replace the need for a spinal tap. The results will be compared with the usual spinal fluid markers.
This study is looking at healthy people with no memory concerns to better understand early signs of Alzheimer's disease. You would provide samples and do thinking tests, but you won't take any experimental medicines.
