Recruiting studies
- NCT06417086Recruiting
Acupuncture for Alzheimer's in gene carriers and non-carriers
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will compare results in people who carry the APOE e4 gene and those who don't, to see if the treatment works differently.
ShanghaiAges 50–80 - NCT06792877Recruiting
Mindfulness for thinking in early Alzheimer's
This study tests if mindfulness training can help protect thinking and memory in early-stage Alzheimer's disease. It compares mindfulness to other activities to see if it slows down memory loss.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 50–100 - NCT05077579Recruiting
Alzheimer’s scan study for people with higher body weight
This study uses brain scans (MRI and two special PET scans) to see how Alzheimer’s-related changes show up in people who are overweight or obese, with different blood-sugar and insulin patterns. It may help researchers understand whether body weight and metabolism affect early Alzheimer’s markers in the brain.
St Louis, MissouriAges 40–60 - NCT07636811RecruitingPhase 2
Mivelsiran for Early Alzheimer's in Down Syndrome
This trial tests a new drug called mivelsiran designed to slow early-stage Alzheimer's disease in adults with Down syndrome. The drug works by targeting amyloid, a protein that builds up in the brain and causes cognitive decline.
Maitland, FloridaAges 40–55 - NCT07409506Recruiting
How caregivers help people with Alzheimer's
This study looks at the support that caregivers provide to people with Alzheimer's disease at different stages. It helps researchers understand how caregiving changes over time, which can lead to better support for both patients and their families.
VilleurbanneAges 60 years+ - NCT07332260RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant for Alzheimer's disease
This study tests whether a fecal transplant (transferring healthy bacteria from a donor's stool into your colon) can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's. You would receive the transplant via colonoscopy and have follow-up brain scans.
Tromsø, TromsAges 18 years+ - NCT04389437Recruiting
Eye imaging study for people with memory problems
This study uses detailed eye scans to look for changes that might relate to memory problems. You may be able to join if you are being seen for memory concerns and meet the health and eye-scan requirements.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03657745Recruiting
40 Hz light and brain training for Alzheimer’s
This trial tests whether a combination of 40 Hz light stimulation and cognitive (thinking) therapy can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by stimulating the brain and training thinking skills, while carefully checking eye and seizure history.
Miami, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT05508841Recruiting
Study how brain stimulation may work in mild Alzheimer’s
This study looks at how mild to moderate Alzheimer’s affects response to a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (transcranial direct current stimulation). It may help researchers learn who benefits most and why.
Toronto, OntarioAges 50–90 - NCT07435467Recruiting
Blood tests for brain health in older hospital patients
This trial looks at how blood biomarkers relate to thinking, daily function, and survival in older adults, including those with neurological issues or dementia. It aims to improve understanding and care for hospitalized seniors.
AnconaAges 65 years+ - NCT07178210Recruiting
Robotic surgery for lymphatic drainage in Alzheimer's disease
This study tests a new robotic-assisted surgery to improve drainage of lymph fluid in the neck, which may help slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. It is for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's who have specific biomarkers.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07757178Recruiting
Dementia lived experiences study
This study explores the personal stories and experiences of people with dementia, their families, and caregivers to help improve care and support. Participation involves sharing your experiences in interviews or other tasks.
Nottingham, EnglandAges 18–99 - NCT04239079Recruiting
Study of immune-related changes in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
This study looks for “autoimmune-like” (immune-system) features in brain-related diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, using genetic testing and other assessments. Results may help researchers understand what drives these conditions and who might be more likely to have immune-related changes.
New York, New YorkAges 55–90 - NCT03592563Recruiting
Brain health follow-up study for adults
This study follows adults over time to better understand brain health and brain-related conditions. You may join if you already have certain neurological or psychiatric diagnoses, are at higher risk, or simply want to help research on maintaining brain health.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05326750Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help diagnose and manage memory conditions
This trial studies a non-invasive brain-stimulation approach to help doctors assess and manage certain brain-related conditions. You might benefit by contributing to better diagnostic tools and treatment planning for memory and thinking problems.
KuopioAges 18 years+ - NCT05565833RecruitingPhase 2
Online sleep program for insomnia and thinking problems
This Phase 2 study tests an internet-based sleep program to help older adults with insomnia and related thinking difficulties. It may help improve sleep and reduce how much tiredness and sleep disruption affect daily life.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 65 years+ - NCT06068361Recruiting
Better diagnosis of Lewy body dementia
This study uses a combination of tests to improve diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies compared to Alzheimer's disease and healthy aging. You may help doctors identify the right diagnosis more accurately.
Paris, FranceAges 55–85 - NCT07361887Recruiting
Moderate wine and healthy aging study
This study tests whether moderate wine consumption can help healthy aging by looking at tiny particles in your blood after a meal. It may help you understand how wine affects your body's cells.
Seville, SevillaAges 35–36 - NCT05231798RecruitingPhase 2
PET and brain scans in adults with Down syndrome
This study looks at how well a brain chemical system works in adults with Down syndrome as they age, including how it relates to Alzheimer’s-type brain changes and thinking skills. It uses brain scans and memory/thinking tests to see whether these measures can help track risk or changes over time.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–55 - NCT06481878Recruiting
Testing a stool test for Alzheimer’s markers
This study checks if Alzheimer’s-related proteins (amyloid and tau) can be found in stool samples. It may help develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect Alzheimer’s disease.
GrenobleAges 40 years+ - NCT06511752RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Support group for Spanish/English speakers with progressive aphasia
This trial tests a support group program for people with progressive aphasia (a language disorder that gets worse over time) and their caregivers. The groups meet online to share experiences and learn together.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07222280Recruiting
Alzheimer's dementia and brain inflammation trial
This trial tests if treating brain inflammation can help older adults hospitalized with sudden confusion or cognitive issues. It may help those without a prior dementia diagnosis but who have toxic or metabolic causes for their symptoms.
Crossville, TennesseeAges 60–90 - NCT06582199Recruiting
Personalized Alzheimer's study using brain scans and spinal fluid
This study looks at how to better predict and understand Alzheimer's disease by using advanced brain scans and spinal fluid tests. It aims to find ways to identify people who stay healthy longer despite risk factors.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for alzheimer’s disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 595 recruiting alzheimer’s disease 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’s disease 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’s disease 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.
