We’re tracking 8 recruiting alzheimer’s disease studies with a site in District of Columbia — including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in District of Columbia
- 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 55–80 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 55 years+ - NCT06976216RecruitingPhase 3
Study of KarXT plus KarX-EC for Alzheimer's cognitive symptoms
This trial tests a new combination treatment (KarXT plus KarX-EC) to see if it can help with thinking and memory problems caused by Alzheimer's disease. It is for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's who have a caregiver available.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 60–85 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 55–90 - 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.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 55–90 - NCT05139290Enrolling by invitation
Support for African American families managing dementia care decisions
This study focuses on helping African American people with mild to moderate dementia and their family caregivers make better care decisions together. It also includes people who help with navigating healthcare when dementia care becomes harder.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT03702907Recruiting
Study of aging and a brain sample bank
This study follows adults as they age and may collect biological samples for future research. It could help researchers understand early and late changes related to aging and brain health.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 45 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in District of Columbia?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting alzheimer’s disease studies with a site in District of Columbia, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a alzheimer’s disease study in District of Columbia?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in District of Columbia to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in District of Columbia, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a alzheimer’s disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
