Recruiting studies
- NCT05336695RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brain scan study to measure fibrin in Alzheimer’s
This early study (Phase 1/2) uses brain imaging to look for “fibrin” (a blood-clot–related protein) in people with Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions. The goal is to understand whether fibrin changes can be seen on scans and what it might mean for Alzheimer’s.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55–90 - NCT05733520Recruiting
Telehealth coaching for Alzheimer’s caregivers using a phone
This trial tests a mobile telehealth program designed to help unpaid caregivers reduce Alzheimer’s-related symptoms in the people they care for. If you’re a primary caregiver, you may get study sessions using a smartphone or similar device.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05820919Recruiting
Improve sleep in nursing home residents with dementia
This study aims to improve sleep quality for people in nursing homes who have Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia and are having sleep problems. It uses a sleep-focused approach through staff “sleep huddles” and checks sleep patterns to see what helps.

Over-the-counter hearing aids for memory loss study
This trial tests whether over-the-counter hearing aids can help people with mild memory loss (mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia) who also have hearing loss. You and a communication partner will participate together to see if improving hearing can also help with thinking and communication.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 60–90 - NCT06129838Recruiting
Inflammation in Alzheimer's disease using a brain scan
This study uses a special PET scan to look for inflammation in the brains of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects memory and thinking problems.
St Louis, MissouriAges 50 years+ - NCT06313853Recruiting
Communication support for older adults with dementia and cancer
This study tests a communication coaching session to help older adults with both dementia and cancer talk with their family and doctors about treatment decisions. The goal is to make sure your wishes and needs are heard.
