This study tests whether an anti-bleeding medicine (given to reduce unwanted clot breakdown) can improve outcomes after a mild head injury in people 50 and older. It is looking for patients who arrive quickly after injury and have certain symptoms like brief loss of consciousness, confusion, or nausea.
London, LondonAges 50 years+ - NCT04405115Recruiting
Help for older adults to get better cancer aftercare
This study aims to improve “survivorship care plans,” which are follow-up instructions after chemotherapy, to help older adults feel supported after cancer treatment. You may be able to participate if you’re 65+ and recently finished chemotherapy with the goal of cure and have a plan scheduled with an oncology navigator.
Clovis, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT04312633Recruiting
Testing a new throat biopsy mapping method for Barrett’s disease
This study follows people for 5 years to see how well a new biopsy-mapping test (WATS3D) works during routine upper endoscopy. It may help doctors find Barrett’s esophagus changes earlier and better guide follow-up after treatment.
Bethpage, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04300998Recruiting
CAR-T therapy study for older adults
This study looks at how well CAR-T cell therapy works and how safely it can be given to older adults. It is for people whose cancer or related blood condition has come back or did not respond, and who are receiving a standard (commercial) CAR-T product.
New York, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT04262206RecruitingPhase 4
Testing how statins affect outcomes in adults 75 and older
This trial studies whether cholesterol-lowering medicine (a statin, specifically atorvastatin) improves health and benefits in people age 75 and older in everyday life. It may help doctors understand which older adults benefit most and how to use these medicines safely.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 75 years+ - NCT04179981Recruiting
CPAP treatment effects in older COPD and sleep apnea patients
This study looks at whether using positive airway pressure (often called CPAP) improves health outcomes in older adults who have both COPD and obstructive sleep apnea. It may help find ways to reduce symptoms and complications from “overlap” breathing problems.
Detroit, MichiganAges 60 years+ - NCT04205279Recruiting
Balance training to help prevent falls
This study tests a reactive balance training program to reduce fall risk. It may help you improve how your balance reacts when you are pushed or lose stability.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT04240561Recruiting
Study of hearing aid results in people with Alzheimer’s dementia
This study looks at how much hearing aid outcomes vary in older adults who have Alzheimer’s dementia or mild memory problems. It may help researchers understand what hearing aids work best and for whom.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50–90 - NCT04142047Recruiting
Study muscle energy and fatigue in older adults
This study measures how older adults’ muscles use energy and how easily they tire during activity. It includes both people with HIV (with stable treatment and an undetectable viral load) and people without HIV to better understand differences in fatigue.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 60–90 - NCT03906253Recruiting
Laser treatment to prevent skin growth in older adults
This trial tests whether a type of laser treatment can help protect older adults’ skin from turning actinic keratosis (a sun-related precancer) into more serious skin problems. It focuses on the forearms and may help reduce future skin damage while checking safety and comfort.
Dayton, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT03998202Recruiting
Study of chemotherapy side effects in older colorectal cancer patients
This study looks at how chemotherapy and immunotherapy affect the body in older adults with colorectal cancer, especially early side effects. It may help researchers understand why some people lose strength and how to better predict and manage treatment toxicity.
Millville, DelawareAges 60 years+ - NCT03848663Recruiting
Training with visual remapping to help reading with central vision loss
This study tests whether a computer-based visual training method (“remapping”) can help people read better even when they have reduced central vision. You may benefit if your eye condition is stable and your eyes can reliably track the training on an eye-tracker.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 16 years+ - NCT03860857RecruitingPhase 3
Study biomarkers in memory aging and brain health
This Phase 3 study looks for blood/brain “biomarkers” linked to aging, memory changes, and early brain degeneration. It may help researchers better identify who is at risk and how biology relates to thinking and memory, using brain scans and thinking tests.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT03771105RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study how phosphate handling affects healthy aging
This early study looks at how the body’s handling of phosphate may affect aging and bone health. It is meant for people with certain rare genetic conditions that change phosphate levels, to better understand their biology and responses to study tests.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 13 years+ - NCT03752840Recruiting
Community eye-worker program in Nepal
This trial tests a village-based approach to bring eye care closer to older community members. If you live in the right area and are willing to participate, it may help improve access to eye screening and services.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT03680677Recruiting
Checking frailty to guide treatment in older blood cancer patients
This study checks “frailty” (how strong and able you are to function) to help choose better treatment for people age 60+ with certain blood cancers like acute leukemia or MDS. It may help clinicians tailor care before major treatments like transplant or CAR T-cell therapy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 years+ - NCT03541135Enrolling by invitation
Study of heart health, diet, and activity in older adults
This study looks at heart health, food, and physical functioning in people age 65 and older living in Madrid. It may help researchers understand how lifestyle affects aging and cardiovascular wellbeing.

Aging and brain study for mild memory loss and dementia
This study checks how age affects memory and thinking, and compares people with mild memory problems, Alzheimer’s disease types, vascular dementia, and healthy controls. You may help researchers understand brain changes using thinking tests, MRI scans, and blood or spinal fluid tests.

Fisetin for frailty and inflammation in older adults
This trial studies whether fisetin, a supplement-like drug, can reduce frailty and inflammation in people age 70 and older. It may help improve health measures related to aging, but you must meet several safety and medication rules to join.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 70 years+ - NCT03366168Recruiting
Using tongue tissue to grow stem cells in adults
This study takes a small sample from the front of your tongue to grow stem cells from your taste-bud tissue. It aims to understand whether this approach can be safely done in healthy adults and explore how the cells might be used in the future.
