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. AlzMatch is currently on hiatus and by invite-only.  If you would like to be considered for the AlzMatch Study in the future, please begin participation in the APT Webstudy.  Future invitations to AlzMatch will go out to eligible APT Webstudy participants.
