An observational study in Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease, Early Onset, sponsored by GAP Innovations, PBC. Recruiting at 26 sites in 3 countries. Open to participants aged 60 Years to 90 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-15.

Bio-Hermes-002 is a 120-day cross-sectional study that will result in a blood, CSF, retinal, digital, MRI, and PET brain imaging biomarker database that can be used to determine the primary objective. Digital biomarkers and blood-based biomarkers will be tested to determine whether a meaningful relationship exists between biomarkers alone or in combination with tau or amyloid brain pathology identified through PET images.
3,872 studies on the registry are indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction; 1,119 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 1,200 is above the median of 150 across 997 observational studies indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction.

Up to 1,200 participants will complete all the activities of the protocol over an 18-month competitive enrollment period. Each site will be expected to enroll approximately 40 participants. Approximately 25% of the total participants enrolled will be from underrepresented populations. Enrolled participants will be characterized as fitting into one of three cohorts with approximately 1/3 enrollment in each cohort. While we have outlined cohort criteria below, ultimately it is up to the site principal investigator to determine cohort placement.
Cohort status will not be shared with participants.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

During this study, a sample of your blood will be collected and you will have a PET scan taken of your brain. Blood sample results will be compared to PET scan pictures to understand how well the markers in the blood predict whether there is amyloid in the brain. Blood samples will also be collected that contain your genes. These genetic samples will also be compared to PET scans to help researchers understand how different people react to medicines and to understand the genetic causes of AD. Some of the samples will be stored for future analysis.
Each participant will be assessed using either one of two radioactive tau PET tracers: Flortaucipir or MK6240. Flortaucipir is FDA approved while MK6240 is not and is being used in this study as an investigational radioactive drug.
Biomarkers and PET
Measure blood biomarkers (Aβ 42/40, p-tau 181, p-tau 217, p-tau 231, total tau, and NFL) to see if it will predict the extent of tau and amyloid brain pathology as measured by PET brain imaging in participants shown to be cognitively normal (CN), have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or have mild-to-moderate AD dementia.
