Study Summary

The Alzheimer’s Network for Treatment and Diagnostics (ALZ-NET) is a voluntary health care provider-enrolled patient network that collects information on diagnostics and treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. Patients, families and caregivers who agree to participate (through their healthcare providers) will have access to resources about Alzheimer’s disease, including links to medical experts, opportunities to participate in research, and cutting-edge news.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All eligibility criteria must be confirmed by the site investigator (prescribing clinician) using the participant’s medical records, prior to registration.

  • The ALZ-NET protocol will be conducted in individuals over the age of 18 who are being evaluated for or treated with a novel FDA-approved Alzheimer’s disease therapy in a real-world clinical setting (treatment was approved in the year 2021 or after).

  • The decision to prescribe treatment will be based on clinical assessment by the site investigator and independent of the decision to enroll the individual in ALZ-NET with adherence to the label and any relevant appropriate use recommendations.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient legally authorized representative (LAR) or proxy (e.g., spouse or legal guardian) has the ability to understand the purpose and risks of ALZ-NET and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use protected health information (PHI) in accordance with national and local patient privacy regulations.

  • Patient is at least 18 years of age at the time of informed consent.

  • Patient has a diagnosis of MCI or dementia with clinical suspicion of AD as contributing pathology and (1) is being evaluated for treatment or, (2) will be initiating treatment, or (3) has already initiated treatment with novel FDA-approved AD therapies in real-world clinical practice.

  • If treatment is initiated at the time of consent, the patient meets appropriate label requirements and treatment follows appropriate use recommendations for novel FDA-approved AD therapy/therapies.

  • Patient’s treating clinician has made the decision to provide clinical care or treatment prior to patient consent and independently of the purpose of ALZ-NET.

Study Description

ALZ-NET collects data from individuals who are being evaluated for treatment or those receiving novel (since 2021) FDA-approved therapies for Alzheimer’s disease. ALZ-NET will track clinical, safety and long-term health outcomes of individuals in real-world settings from a variety of backgrounds and communities. This network is sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association and managed by the American College of Radiology.

Why join ALZ-NET?

This is a voluntary health care provider-enrolled patient network, but with patients’ willingness to provide data on their Alzheimer's treatment and care, ALZ-NET researchers can learn about real world patterns in diagnosing and treating Alzheimer’s disease. By understanding patterns in care today, ALZ-NET can help health practitioners treat Alzheimer’s disease now and in the future. ALZ-NET aims to be a resource for evidence gathering, information sharing, and education across clinical and research communities to support and improve care of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease.

What is expected by participating in ALZ-NET?

ALZ-NET does not require any additional procedures to be completed outside of the care a patient should otherwise be receiving. Participants will visit their care provider as they normally would without participating in ALZ-NET. ALZ-NET provides resources and recommendations for best practices that your provider may choose to implement in your care plan.

Once registered, participation in ALZ-NET continues for as long as consent is provided and care is being received by the care provider. All care that is provided will be charged to the patient’s health insurance provider. Standard co-payments will remain the patient’s responsibility, as they would without participating in ALZ-NET.

How can I participate?

ALZ-NET does not require any additional effort on a participant’s behalf other than routinely visiting your health practitioner.

Your health practitioner will advise if you are eligible to participate in ALZ-NET. Your health practitioner needs to be located at an active enrolled ALZ-NET site. If your provider is not actively participating in ALZ-NET, you can search our directory for a provider that is participating as ALZ-NET continues to expand to sites across the country.
