NCT ID NCT06547099
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if proteins in the blood can predict who will develop Alzheimer's disease or memory problems. Researchers will follow 1,800 older adults, some with mild forgetfulness or dementia, and track their cognitive health over time. The goal is to develop and validate blood tests that could help diagnose Alzheimer's earlier and more easily.
