A simple finger prick could revolutionize Alzheimer's testing
NCT ID NCT07187921
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a finger prick blood sample can accurately measure a key Alzheimer's biomarker (pTau-217) compared to a standard blood draw. 49 adults already in another Alzheimer's study provided both types of samples. The goal was to see if the finger prick method is accurate, easy, and acceptable for future at-home testing.
