Local treatment for advanced lung cancer that hasn’t worsened
This trial looks at whether using focused treatments (like surgery or radiation to lung cancer spots) can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease has not progressed after first-line treatment. It’s meant for people who have limited metastatic spots and can safely undergo the local treatment.
Guangzhou, GuagndongAges 18 years+ - NCT03761381Recruiting
Eye scan study for mild Alzheimer’s and memory changes
This study uses detailed eye imaging (an eye scan) to look for signs related to probable Alzheimer’s disease and mild dementia. It may help researchers understand whether eye scans can reflect brain changes and improve detection.
Portland, OregonAges 55 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+ - NCT03946930Recruiting
Study of memory decline in Alzheimer’s disease
This trial studies people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease who are at a moderate stage of decline. It likely involves cognitive (memory/thinking) testing and care-partner input to help track changes over time.
Hong KongAges 65–92 - NCT07193303Recruiting
Mental imagery for arm and hand skills in Parkinson's
This study tests if mental imagery exercises can help improve upper body movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It may offer a safe, drug-free way to practice daily tasks.

New surgical method to reduce acid reflux after weight loss surgery
This trial tests a modified version of sleeve gastrectomy that aims to reduce the risk of acid reflux (GERD) after surgery. It is for people aged 18–65 with a BMI between 35 and 55 who already have some degree of GERD and are planning to have weight loss surgery.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT04099823Recruiting
MRI study of spinal fluid flow in memory or balance problems
This study uses MRI to look at how spinal fluid moves inside and around the brain. It aims to better understand conditions that can affect thinking, memory, balance, and coordination—such as normal pressure hydrocephalus—or compare with healthy people.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT04124029Recruiting
Study how mild brain injuries may relate to dementia
This study looks at how past mild traumatic brain injury may contribute to brain changes seen in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It may help researchers understand risk and brain markers by comparing people with mild or moderate TBI, people with mild memory problems, and healthy controls.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30–90 - NCT04134923Recruiting
Brain PET scan study using a blood-flow and plaque tracer
This study uses PET/CT/MRI imaging to look for brain “imaging biomarkers” in people across the Alzheimer’s disease range. It may help researchers better understand how Alzheimer’s changes the brain over time and improve future treatments.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04151082RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Steroid therapy for late nerve damage after throat cancer radiation
This trial tests whether high-dose steroids (prednisone or methylprednisolone) can improve symptoms of nerve damage that may occur years after radiation treatment for oropharyngeal cancer. It includes a registry for tracking similar nerve issues in head and neck cancer survivors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04165109Recruiting
Down syndrome study to test memory and thinking changes
This study enrolls adults with Down syndrome to better understand how thinking and memory develop and change over time. It may help by building a “trial-ready” group and by measuring thinking in a careful, consistent way.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 25–55 - NCT04360200Recruiting
Study of thinking changes in older adults
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 50 years+ - NCT04461821Recruiting
Breath test to study disease in children
This study uses a special machine to analyze exhaled breath to learn about different illnesses in children and teens. It may help researchers find breathing “signals” that reflect conditions like breathing problems, nervous system issues, or new/worsening type 1 diabetes.
BaselAges Up to 22 years - NCT04500847RecruitingPhase 1
Testing repurposed HIV-like drugs for early Alzheimer’s symptoms
This Phase 1 study tests whether an existing type of anti-viral medicine (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors) can help people with early Alzheimer’s disease. It also focuses on safety and proper dosing while measuring brain-related changes and memory-related symptoms.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50–85 - NCT04514445Recruiting
Study of genes in people with bicuspid aortic valve
This study looks for genetic (inherited) differences that may be linked to bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). It includes people with BAV and close family members to help understand why BAV happens and whether genes play a role.

At-home brain stimulation study for dementia
This study looks at using a home device that delivers a mild electrical current to the brain (“tDCS”) over time in people with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. It aims to learn whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful for symptoms.
Montreal, QuebecAges 50–100 - 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.

Trial tests transplant using a half-matched donor for high-risk leukemia
This Phase 1 trial tests a special bone marrow transplant using a related “half-matched” donor (haploidentical), without a specific immune-suppressing medicine (“IS-free”). It’s for adults with certain high-risk AML or MDS to see if this approach can improve control of the disease while tracking safety.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for alzheimer disease or associated disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,843 recruiting alzheimer disease or associated disorder 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 or associated disorder 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 or associated disorder 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.
