The FDA has cleared the first blood test for Alzheimer’s for use in primary care settings specifically to rule out the presence of amyloid, a hallmark of the disease.

“This is another important step toward expanding access to Alzheimer’s disease diagnostic tools,” said our president and chief executive officer .

The blood test is intended to help primary care physicians determine which patients do not require Alzheimer’s-related follow-up tests, such as PET scans or cerebrospinal fluid analysis. This can significantly improve the diagnostic process by preventing unnecessary specialized testing for individuals whose cognitive issues stem from non-Alzheimer’s causes.

The Association is committed to ensuring blood tests are used appropriately and effectively across all care settings.

Developed by Roche, this is the first blood test for use in primary care to rule out Alzheimer's-related amyloid pathology.
