Testing a new drug for Alzheimer's dementia
This study tests whether a new drug called Latrepirdine (DMB-I) is safe and effective for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's dementia. It may help slow cognitive decline when added to current treatment or used alone.
Kazan'Ages 60–90 - NCT07681401Recruiting
Financial help for dementia caregivers

Messina, MEAges 50–86 - NCT07176286RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan study for diagnosing Lewy body dementia
This trial is testing a special PET scan that uses a radioactive tracer (18F-mFBG) to see how much it is taken up by the heart. The goal is to help tell Lewy body disease (Parkinson's or Lewy body dementia) apart from other brain disorders.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07678515Enrolling by invitation
Massage and scents to help people with dementia eat better

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dementia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 492 recruiting dementia 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 dementia 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 dementia 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.
