NCT ID NCT06043700
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a blood test can identify people who have Alzheimer's-related brain changes, even if they have no memory problems. Researchers will enroll 2000 adults aged 50-80, some with risk factors like family history. The goal is to see if the blood test can accurately predict who has amyloid buildup in the brain, which is a key sign of Alzheimer's.
