About the AlzMatch Study

The AlzMatch Study tests whether a single blood test, collected at community-based laboratories, can help speed clinical trial enrollment by identifying people more likely to experience changes in their brains associated with Alzheimer’s disease. AlzMatch is helping us find people who are most eligible for Alzheimer’s prevention trials by way of a simple blood draw.
