Miami, FloridaAges Any age - 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.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 55–90 - NCT07688213RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an investigational drug for early Alzheimer's disease
This trial tests an investigational injection for people in the early stages of Alzheimer's. It aims to see if the drug can safely slow down memory loss and brain changes.
The Villages, FloridaAges 55–85 - NCT05910619Recruiting
Noninvasive brain stimulation to support memory and thinking
This study tests a noninvasive way of stimulating the brain to see if it can help older adults with typical age-related changes or mild memory problems. You may be invited if your screening tests and health history fit one of their target groups.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 65–84 - NCT06052254RecruitingPhase 2
Skin patch for agitation in Alzheimer's dementia
This trial tests a skin patch that delivers a medicine called dexmedetomidine to help calm agitation in people with Alzheimer's disease. It might be an option for those living in a care facility who have had recent episodes of agitation.

What taking part in a dementia 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 dementia clinical trials in Florida?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 35 recruiting dementia studies with a site in Florida, 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 dementia study in Florida?
- 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 Florida to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Florida, 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 dementia 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.
