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

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 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 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.
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 whether blood-based markers can help identify Alzheimer's disease earlier. It is for people with Alzheimer's, mild memory problems, or no memory issues at all.
