    Clinical Trials

    Without clinical trials, there can be no better treatments, no prevention and no cure for Alzheimer's disease. 

    Recruiting and retaining diverse trial participants is now the greatest obstacle, other than funding, to developing the next generation of Alzheimer's treatments. Individuals with dementia, caregivers and healthy volunteers are all needed to participate in clinical studies focused on Alzheimer's and other dementias.

     

    About Clinical Trials

    Without clinical trials, there can be no better treatments, no prevention and no cure for Alzheimer's disease.

    You Can Make a Difference

    Every clinical trial contributes valuable knowledge to the field of Alzheimer's research. By participating in clinical research, you can help accelerate progress and build toward a world without Alzheimer's and other dementias.

    Why Participate in a Clinical Trial?

    Clinical trials provide many participants access to cutting-edge treatments and expert medical care. And someday, they will lead us to the end of Alzheimer’s.
