Multitasking training for older adults
This study tests whether a special online training program can help older adults improve their ability to multitask and stay focused. You'll do some computer exercises at home and come in for a few checkups, including a blood test.
Newark, New JerseyAges 60–75 - NCT06843109Enrolling by invitation
Memory clinic study on biomarkers for mild cognitive impairment
This study looks at brain changes in people with mild memory problems to find early signs of Alzheimer's disease. You and a study partner can help by sharing information about your daily life.
London, OntarioAges 55–80 - NCT06052254RecruitingPhase 2
Skin patch for agitation in Alzheimer's dementia
This trial tests a skin patch that delivers a medicine called dexmedetomidine to help calm agitation in people with Alzheimer's disease. It might be an option for those living in a care facility who have had recent episodes of agitation.
Chino, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06023407Enrolling by invitation
Heat therapy for blood sugar and Alzheimer's prevention
This study tests whether regular heat therapy (like sitting in a hot tub) can help improve blood sugar control and lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease in older women who have metabolic problems.
Kansas City, KansasAges 65 years+ - NCT04579120Recruiting
Brain scan study in healthy aging or early Alzheimer’s
This study uses brain imaging to understand changes in the brain during normal aging and early Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It may help researchers spot early brain changes and evaluate how well imaging measures those changes.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04124029Recruiting
How head injuries affect brain health
This study looks at how mild or moderate head injuries (concussions) may relate to brain conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer's disease. By comparing people with and without head injuries, researchers hope to learn more about what causes brain changes over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30–90 - NCT07512362RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells and antibodies for early Alzheimer's disease
This study tests whether human stem cells, combined with your existing Alzheimer's medication (Leqembi or Kisunla), can help slow memory loss and improve daily functioning in people with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's. You would receive a stem cell infusion as an add-on to your current treatment.
Miami, FloridaAges 55–90 - NCT07667478Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for early Alzheimer's memory loss
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique can help improve memory in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may be an option if you have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's and have had a positive blood test for Alzheimer's markers.
Houston, TexasAges 55–90 - NCT05460143Recruiting
Optical brain scanning to study memory and thinking
This study uses brain “optical” and possibly MRI scans to understand how thinking and memory work in people with Lewy body dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, or mild memory problems. It may help researchers find better ways to measure brain changes and cognition over time.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT05785156Recruiting
Quick test study to predict stroke and memory disease outlook
This study tests quick new methods to measure “slowed actions” in people with stroke or memory-related brain conditions. The goal is to see whether these quick tests can help predict future outcomes and guide care.
AmiensAges 40–85 - NCT06337578Recruiting
Telephone-based cognitive screening study
This study tests if a phone-based cognitive screening can effectively assess thinking and memory. It may help people who can't easily visit a clinic.
MilanAges 18–100 - NCT06448403Recruiting
Alzheimer's assessment study with brain scans
This study uses brain scans (MRI and EEG) to better understand Alzheimer's disease. It compares people with MCI or Alzheimer's to healthy volunteers to see how the disease affects the brain.
Trondheim, TrønderlagAges 65 years+ - NCT07701161Recruiting
At-home blood test for Alzheimer's disease
This study is developing a simple finger-prick test you can do at home to measure a blood marker related to Alzheimer's disease. It aims to make checking for Alzheimer's easier and more convenient.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40–90 - NCT06875739Enrolling by invitation
Saliva test for early diagnosis of brain diseases
This study tests whether a saliva sample can help tell the difference between brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and related conditions. By using a special laser technique, researchers hope to find a quick, non-invasive way to make an earlier and more accurate diagnosis.
CagliariAges 60–85 - NCT06068361Recruiting
Better diagnosis of Lewy body dementia
This study uses a combination of tests to improve diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies compared to Alzheimer's disease and healthy aging. You may help doctors identify the right diagnosis more accurately.
Paris, FranceAges 55–85 - NCT06871839Recruiting
A study of lencanumab for early Alzheimer's disease
This trial tests an investigational drug called lencanumab for people with early Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if it can help with memory and thinking by targeting brain changes caused by Alzheimer's.
BeijingAges 50–90 - NCT03233646Recruiting
Retina scans in memory and nerve disorders
This study uses pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) to look for differences in people with neurodegenerative diseases and compares them with people without these conditions. It may help researchers understand eye changes that could connect to brain or nerve health.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07094438RecruitingPhase 1
Brain stimulation and neck surgery for severe Alzheimer's
This early-stage trial tests combining deep brain stimulation (a device that sends electrical pulses to the brain) with a neck surgery that aims to improve brain fluid drainage. It's for people with severe Alzheimer's who can still walk and do not have other major health issues.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for alzheimer dementia (ad)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 143 recruiting alzheimer dementia (ad) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a alzheimer dementia (ad) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a alzheimer dementia (ad) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
