Recruiting studies
- 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06604520RecruitingPhase 2
Vortioxetine for mood and thinking in frontotemporal dementia
This trial tests if vortioxetine, an antidepressant, can improve mood symptoms (like depression or anxiety) and thinking abilities in people with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). It also includes healthy volunteers for comparison.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 45 years+ - NCT06706687Recruiting
Brain imaging and epigenetics in frontotemporal dementia and bipolar disorder
This study uses brain scans and genetic tests to understand the differences between behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and bipolar disorder. It may help improve diagnosis and find better treatments for both conditions.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT02964637Recruiting
Tests to help diagnose frontotemporal dementia
This study looks at testing (including brain scans) to figure out what type of frontotemporal dementia or related language/speech condition a person has. It may help by making diagnoses more accurate, which can guide better care.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–90 - NCT06059313Recruiting
Personality study for people with memory or behavior changes
This study looks at how personality may have changed before the onset of different types of memory or behavior disorders (like frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's, or bipolar disorder). Researchers will talk with a family member or close friend who knew you well before the illness started.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT07531732Recruiting
Self-Awareness and Social Thinking in Brain Diseases
This study explores how awareness of oneself and the ability to understand others' thoughts relates to two types of brain diseases: frontotemporal dementia (a disease affecting personality and behavior) and Alzheimer's disease. The research may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve care.
ParisAges 50–80 - NCT07567664Enrolling by invitation
Brain Changes in Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Tracking Study
This research study tracks how brain damage progresses in rare neurodegenerative diseases like frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, PSP, CBS, and ALS. Researchers use brain imaging and tests to understand how these diseases spread in the brain, which could help develop better treatments.
Milan, LombardyAges 20–85 - NCT07234851Enrolling by invitation
Brain tissue study of synaptic loss in mental and brain diseases
This study looks at how brain connections break down in people with psychiatric disorders (like schizophrenia, depression, or bipolar disorder) or neurodegenerative diseases (like Alzheimer's or frontotemporal dementia). It uses donated brain tissue after death to understand why symptoms occur.
BarcelonaAges 40 years+ - NCT04680130Enrolling by invitation
Study of brain, genetics, and clinical symptoms in neurodegenerative illness
This study looks at how your symptoms, brain imaging (MRI), and genetic factors relate to neurodegenerative conditions. It may help researchers better understand what causes these illnesses and how to classify them.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 21 years+ - NCT06338397Recruiting
Social and emotional thinking in Alzheimer's
This study looks at how Alzheimer's disease and similar conditions affect social and emotional thinking. Researchers will use brain scans and questionnaires to understand these changes better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for frontotemporal dementia, behavioral variant?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 10 recruiting frontotemporal dementia, behavioral variant 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 frontotemporal dementia, behavioral variant 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 frontotemporal dementia, behavioral variant 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.
