Recruiting studies in Indiana
- NCT05643144Recruiting
Shared decisions for dementia and diabetes care
This study tests a program that helps people with both memory problems (like dementia or mild cognitive impairment) and diabetes, along with their caregivers, make better care decisions together. It uses a special device to track blood sugar without fingersticks.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 65 years+ - NCT07284472RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing drugs for agitation in Alzheimer's disease
This trial tests two new drugs (EXV-802 and EXV-801) to see if they can safely reduce moderate to severe agitation in people with Alzheimer's dementia. If you or a loved one has Alzheimer's and has been experiencing significant agitation for at least two weeks, this study may be an option.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 55–90 - NCT04363684Recruiting
Study of frontotemporal dementia and related syndromes over time
This study follows people with frontotemporal dementia (FTLD) and related conditions, and collects health and (for some people) body fluid information, to understand how these illnesses change over time. It may help researchers track disease signs and find better ways to measure progression.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07499570Recruiting
Talk therapy using AI for older adults with memory issues
This study tests an AI-powered talk therapy for older adults with mild memory problems who live at home. It aims to reduce challenging behaviors like agitation, anxiety, or depression by delivering personalized support through a computer or tablet.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 65 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.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 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.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 55–90 - 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.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 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.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 25–55 - NCT04262206RecruitingPhase 4
Testing how statins affect outcomes in adults 75 and older
This trial studies whether cholesterol-lowering medicine (a statin, specifically atorvastatin) improves health and benefits in people age 75 and older in everyday life. It may help doctors understand which older adults benefit most and how to use these medicines safely.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 75 years+ - NCT04916210Recruiting
Study how stroke type affects thinking and recovery
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05515224Recruiting
Study for adults 65+ with memory concerns
This study looks at ways to help older adults with new or ongoing memory or thinking concerns. You may be able to take part if you’re 65 or older, have cognitive concerns, can complete study visits in English or Spanish, and are able to see and hear well enough for assessments.
Bloomington, IndianaAges 65 years+ - NCT05733520Recruiting
Telehealth coaching for Alzheimer’s caregivers using a phone
This trial tests a mobile telehealth program designed to help unpaid caregivers reduce Alzheimer’s-related symptoms in the people they care for. If you’re a primary caregiver, you may get study sessions using a smartphone or similar device.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07602582RecruitingPhase 3
Donanemab Extension Study for Alzheimer's Disease
This is a follow-up study for people who already completed a previous donanemab trial (AACM). Donanemab is a medication designed to slow cognitive decline in early Alzheimer's disease by targeting amyloid buildup in the brain.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 55 years+ - NCT00064870Recruiting
Alzheimer's Disease Family Genetics Study
This study collects biological samples (blood or cells) from families where two or more members have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Researchers use these samples to identify genetic factors that may cause or increase risk for these conditions.

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 Indiana?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 15 recruiting dementia studies with a site in Indiana, 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 Indiana?
- 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 Indiana to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Indiana, 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.
