The Generation Study requires potential participants to undergo genetic testing. To be considered for the Generation Study, the next step is to join GeneMatch.
GeneMatch is a program of the Alzheimer's Prevention Registry, led by Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, which matches people to research studies based in part on their genetic information. GeneMatch will provide you with a cheek swab kit to determine what copies of the APOE gene you have to determine your eligibility for the Generation Study. You will not be told your APOE results as part of the GeneMatch program, however it will help us to determine if you may be eligible for the Generation Study or other studies in the future. If you are eligible, we will contact you by email with details regarding the next steps.
If you are interested in participating in GeneMatch, please click here to start the enrollment process.
To qualify for the Generation Study, you need to meet the following requirements:
Don’t know what type of APOE gene you have? Join the GeneMatch program. GeneMatch may invite
you to join the Generation Study.
The goal of the Generation Study is to find out whether 2 experimental medications can prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s symptoms. In this clinical trial, we’ll test the study medications against placebo.
Research shows a link between a substance called amyloid beta and Alzheimer’s disease. The study medications may stop amyloid beta from building up in the brain.
The Generation Study is a pioneering partnership between Novartis, Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, and Amgen with funding from the National Institute on Aging, and several philanthropic organizations. By joining the study, you could help influence the future of medicine.
The Generation Study is recruiting volunteers who have 2 copies of the APOE e4 gene. This gene may increase a person’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
If you know that you have 2 copies of APOE e4:

If you don’t know your APOE type:
Join GeneMatch. This program, led by the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, uses genetic testing (through free cheek swab kits) to match volunteers with research opportunities like the Generation Study.
