Study of a treatment for early-onset Alzheimer's caused by a gene change
This study tests a potential disease-modifying treatment for people who have a specific gene mutation that causes early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if the treatment can delay or prevent symptoms.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT02740634Recruiting

La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05315895Recruiting
Study of people with “dampness” signs in Chinese medicine
This is an observational study that looks at a Chinese-medicine pattern called “dampness” by collecting health and biological information from volunteers. It may help researchers better understand what this pattern looks like and how it relates to people’s health.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 35–79 - NCT05573490Recruiting
Lifestyle program study for early-onset Alzheimer’s
This study tests a structured lifestyle intervention to help people with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. It is designed for adults with confirmed Alzheimer’s-related brain changes, and may help with symptoms or day-to-day functioning.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 40–75 - NCT05655195Recruiting
At-home light and sound therapy for mild Alzheimer’s
This study tests whether regular at-home “gamma” light and sound stimulation can help people with mild Alzheimer’s. Participants start with a month at home and are followed to see how they do during treatment.
Cambridge, MassachusettsAges 65–100 - NCT06080659Recruiting
Brain network study for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
This study uses brain scans to look for patterns that might help diagnose memory or movement problems like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. It compares people with mild symptoms, like forgetfulness or early Parkinson's, to healthy volunteers.
RennesAges 50–80 - NCT06099587Recruiting
Brain scan study for early Alzheimer's memory changes
This study uses a special MRI scan to look at the brain's memory center in people with early memory concerns. It aims to better understand changes that happen in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
RennesAges 50–80 - NCT06203106Recruiting
NYSCF Scientific Discovery Biobank
This study collects blood, saliva, or skin samples from people with certain neurological conditions and from healthy volunteers to help researchers better understand and find treatments for these diseases.
New York, New YorkAges 4 weeks+ - NCT06539169Recruiting
Following people with rare diseases over time
This study follows people with rare diseases over time to learn more about how these conditions progress and how they are treated. Joining may help researchers understand your disease better and find better ways to care for others.

Digital and blood markers linked to brain scans in older adults
This study is looking for older adults (60–90) who are either cognitively normal, have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or have mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's dementia. It aims to see how digital tests and blood-based markers relate to brain scans (amyloid and tau PET). You will need a study partner, undergo MRI and PET scans, and give blood samples.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for alzheimer disease, early onset?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 39 recruiting alzheimer disease, early onset 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 disease, early onset 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 disease, early onset 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.
