Early Alzheimer's brain connection study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at a specific brain pathway that may be linked to early memory loss in Alzheimer's disease. It compares people with early Alzheimer's to healthy older adults to understand how connections between brain cells start to break down.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with probable early Alzheimer's dementia
- Your memory test score (MMSE) is 23 or lower
- You have a brain MRI showing shrinkage in areas linked to memory
- You do not have other causes of memory loss like stroke, head injury, or substance abuse
- You do not have severe depression, schizophrenia, or major heart, liver, or kidney disease

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 a simple blood test to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease earlier and more accurately in a primary care setting. If you are 55 or older with memory concerns, participating could help improve diagnostic methods and may lead to earlier support and treatment.
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.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease and predict how the disease will progress. If you have memory or thinking problems that have been getting worse, you may be able to join.
This study is looking for healthy volunteers to help detect the very earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease—before memory loss starts. You will have tests like memory checks, blood draws, brain scans, and a spinal tap to look for Alzheimer's-related changes.
