The REAL AD study moves forward to part 2 – The 18-month follow-up
October 15, 2025
We are excited to announce that the REAL AD study is now entering its second part – the 18-month follow-up. After a highly successful first part, in which thousands of dedicated participants took part and completed all the steps, it is now time to begin welcoming everyone back for the next part of the study.
The first participants who joined the study at its launch on April 22, 2024, will be invited to take part in Part 2 of the study starting at the end of October 2025. For other participants, the follow-up will begin 18 months after their individual study start. This means not everyone will start at the same time, but we will contact you via SMS and/or email (depending on your chosen contact details) when it is your turn to begin the follow-up. Your participation in Part 2 will follow the same steps as in Part 1.
We would like to extend a big thank you to all our participants for your engagement and continued contribution to the study. Thanks to you, we can track responses over time, which provides an important foundation for our research.
