Blood test for early Alzheimer's detection in primary care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 research study tests new blood tests that may detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease in people who currently have normal thinking and memory. By participating, you help researchers understand who might be at risk and develop better ways to predict the disease early.
This study is testing whether simple blood tests can help doctors better understand the type and progression of memory or thinking problems in people with early dementia. It aims to improve confidence in the diagnosis and future outlook.
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.
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 looks at blood tests to help diagnose and track brain diseases (like Alzheimer's) or mental health conditions. It compares patients to healthy volunteers to find better ways to detect and monitor these illnesses.
