- NCT05543681RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for agitation in Alzheimer’s dementia with caregiver support
This Phase 2 trial tests a study medicine to reduce “agitation” behaviors in people with Alzheimer’s dementia. You and your caregiver would complete required assessments and may need genetic and blood testing to check how the body handles the drug.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT05606341RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a diabetes-style shot to boost brain immunity in early Alzheimer’s
This Phase 1 study tests whether stimulating the immune system (through a receptor called TLR9) is safe and may affect brain changes in people with early Alzheimer’s. It mainly enrolls older adults with memory impairment confirmed by specific amyloid imaging.

Digital and blood markers linked to brain scans in older adults
This study is looking for older adults (60–90) who are either cognitively normal, have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or have mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's dementia. It aims to see how digital tests and blood-based markers relate to brain scans (amyloid and tau PET). You will need a study partner, undergo MRI and PET scans, and give blood samples.

Study of causes and progression of synuclein-related nerve conditions
This study follows people over time to better understand “synucleinopathies,” which are conditions that affect the nervous system as it develops and progresses. You may be asked to return for visits and report symptoms, especially those that happen when you stand up.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03687710Enrolling by invitation
Alzheimer’s registry for people with memory concerns or risk
This is a research registry that helps doctors compare how different memory and Alzheimer’s risk groups change over time. It may help researchers learn which people are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s and how to better track early changes.

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.
