Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT07602582RecruitingPhase 3

Houston, TexasAges 55 years+ - NCT06194799Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term ACP-204 for Alzheimer's psychosis
This study tests a long-term medicine (ACP-204) for people with Alzheimer's disease who also have psychosis (hallucinations or delusions). If you took part in the earlier ACP-204 study, this open-label extension lets you continue receiving the medicine to see how well it works over time.
Houston, TexasAges 55–95 - NCT04740580RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Test glutathione for brain inflammation in Alzheimer’s
This early-stage study tests whether taking glutathione can affect brain “inflammation” and metabolism in people with Alzheimer’s disease. You might benefit from a new treatment approach, while helping researchers understand what works best for early Alzheimer’s-related brain changes.
Houston, TexasAges 55–85 - NCT05582200Recruiting

This study measures a substance called tau in blood plasma from donors to help researchers understand brain health. If you've donated plasma, your sample may be used.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT06416072Enrolling by invitation
Blood marker study for people not eligible for Alzheimer's prevention trials

Houston, TexasAges 55–80 - 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 - NCT07177352RecruitingPhase 3
Screening for Roche Alzheimer's studies
This is a screening study to find people who might be eligible for other Alzheimer's drug studies run by the same company. It helps match you to a treatment trial if you qualify.
Houston, TexasAges 50–90 - NCT06584357Recruiting
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.
Houston, TexasAges 60–90 - NCT06835283Recruiting
Brain stimulation for mood and behavior in Alzheimer's

ADNI4 study for early Alzheimer’s with brain imaging tests
This study enrolls people with no memory impairment, mild memory problems, or mild Alzheimer’s dementia to test how brain scans and cognitive tests relate to Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by contributing to better early diagnosis and by letting you see whether you fit into the study’s imaging and blood-test pathway.
Houston, TexasAges 55–90 - NCT06808984RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug for agitation in Alzheimer's disease
This trial tests an investigational drug called BMS-986368 to see if it can safely reduce agitation in people with Alzheimer's disease. You may be able to join if you have Alzheimer's with confirmed biomarkers and experience agitation that has been going on for at least 4 weeks.
Houston, TexasAges 55–90 - NCT05511363RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new medicine for psychosis in Alzheimer's disease

Houston, TexasAges 55–90 - NCT07142954RecruitingPhase 3
Alzheimer's research study for healthy people
This study is looking at healthy people with no memory concerns to better understand early signs of Alzheimer's disease. You would provide samples and do thinking tests, but you won't take any experimental medicines.
Houston, TexasAges 55–75 - NCT07105709RecruitingPhase 2
Extension study for early Alzheimer's treatment
This study is a follow-up for people who completed a previous trial of an experimental treatment for early Alzheimer's disease. It will continue to test the treatment's safety and effects over a longer period.
Houston, TexasAges 50–85 - NCT07651319RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
IL-2 and Semaglutide Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease
This study tests whether two drugs—IL-2 (an immune-boosting medication) and semaglutide (a diabetes drug that may help brain function)—can slow memory loss in people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers believe these drugs together might help reduce brain inflammation and protect memory.
Houston, TexasAges 50–86 - NCT06126224RecruitingPhase 3
Testing KarXT for Alzheimer's-related psychosis
This clinical trial tests an investigational oral medication called KarXT for treating psychosis (hallucinations or delusions) in people with Alzheimer's disease. The study aims to see if the drug can safely reduce these symptoms.
Houston, TexasAges 55–90 - NCT07169578RecruitingPhase 3

Houston, TexasAges 60–80 - NCT06159673RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
ACP-204 for Alzheimer's with psychosis
This study tests a new medicine called ACP-204 for people with Alzheimer's disease who also have psychosis (like seeing or hearing things that aren't real). It aims to see if the drug can help reduce these symptoms safely.

What taking part in a alzheimer’s disease study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
