Clinical Trials

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

Recruiting and retaining 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.
