- NCT05929703Recruiting
Care approach for hospitalized older adults at risk of confusion
This trial tests new ways to help hospitalized older adults (and their family/care partners) stay comfortable and avoid or reduce episodes of acute confusion. It focuses on people who are likely to develop delirium during their hospital stay.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 70 years+ - NCT06416072Enrolling by invitation
Blood marker study for people not eligible for Alzheimer's prevention trials
This study looks at blood markers in people who were part of an early Alzheimer's prevention study but did not qualify for it because their amyloid levels were too low. It aims to understand brain changes and possibly find ways to detect Alzheimer's even earlier.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 55–80 - NCT06647498RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07216716Recruiting
Health app recommendation tool for Alzheimer's caregivers
This study tests a tool that helps find health apps for people caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or a related dementia. It aims to see if the tool makes it easier to choose useful apps for your caregiving journey.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT05617014Enrolling by invitation
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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 55–90 - NCT07117162Recruiting
Improving memory care access for veterans
This study helps veterans with mild memory loss or early Alzheimer's disease get better access to care. It tests whether a program can make it easier to receive treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00869817Recruiting
Study for adults at risk of inherited Alzheimer’s
This study follows people who are at risk for a specific inherited form of Alzheimer’s disease (because a parent has it). It helps researchers learn how the disease starts and changes over time, especially in people who still feel cognitively normal.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 25–55 - NCT05010603Recruiting
Studies families to understand late-onset Alzheimer’s
This study focuses on people with late-onset Alzheimer’s (and some similar memory diseases) and uses a close family “informant” to share what they’ve noticed. It may help researchers learn more about these conditions and how they progress in families.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 55 years+ - NCT05552157RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of treatments for early onset Alzheimer's caused by genetic mutations
This trial tests potential treatments for people who are at risk for or have early onset Alzheimer's disease due to a specific genetic mutation. It aims to find treatments that could slow or prevent symptoms.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05704309Enrolling by invitation
Study of diabetes prevention participants using brain scans
This study looks at how people who previously took part in a diabetes prevention program are doing over time, including brain health using MRI scans for some participants. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk for memory and thinking problems and why.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT06147999Recruiting
Biophoton therapy for brain disorders
This trial tests a biophoton therapy, a light-based treatment, for people with brain disorders. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can help improve symptoms.

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.
