- NCT03402919Recruiting
Brain and memory study for people with thinking changes
This study looks at memory and thinking changes using questionnaires, memory testing, and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand neurodegeneration and dementia and how these problems show up over time.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 50–90 - NCT03582488Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Tracking brain changes in probable Lewy body dementia
This trial follows people with probable Lewy body dementia over several years to see how the brain changes on MRI and on memory/thinking tests. It may help researchers understand disease progression and improve future care for Lewy body dementia.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03623672Enrolling by invitation
Study for early signs of Parkinson-related brain changes
This study enrolls people with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder, a sleep problem that can come before Parkinson’s disease or related conditions. It aims to better understand early (“prodromal”) changes so future treatments can be targeted earlier.
Sun City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03174938Recruiting
BioFINDER 2 study for healthy aging and memory problems
This study uses brain scans and a spinal fluid test to better understand memory and thinking changes in different groups, from people with healthy thinking to early or established dementia. If you qualify, it may help researchers learn what’s driving these conditions and how they progress.
ÄngelholmAges 20–100 - NCT03233646Recruiting
Retina scans in memory and nerve disorders
This study uses pictures of the back of your eye (retinal imaging) to look for differences in people with neurodegenerative diseases and compares them with people without these conditions. It may help researchers understand eye changes that could connect to brain or nerve health.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT02795052Recruiting
Stem cell treatment trial for nerve injury
This study tests whether bone-marrow stem cells can improve nerve function in people with nerve damage that usually doesn’t recover with current care. It also checks whether the treatment is safe and whether people can be followed over time with repeated nerve exams.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT07533799Recruiting
Swedish BioFINDER Sleep Study: Brain imaging in RBD and Parkinson's
This study examines brain changes in people with REM sleep behavior disorder (acting out dreams during sleep) and early Parkinson's disease using brain imaging scans. Researchers want to understand how sleep problems relate to Parkinson's development and find early warning signs.
MalmöAges 50–100 - NCT04844060Recruiting
Study collecting spinal fluid from patients needing a lumbar puncture
This study collects cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain and spinal cord) during a lumbar puncture. It aims to improve how doctors use this information for accurate diagnosis in patients who need the procedure.
StrasbourgAges Any age - NCT07029581RecruitingPhase 2
Testing ACP-204 for psychosis in Lewy body dementia
This trial tests a new drug called ACP-204 for people with dementia from Lewy body disease or Parkinson's who also have hallucinations or delusions. The goal is to see if the drug can safely reduce these symptoms without worsening thinking problems.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 55–84 - NCT06120049RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing new PET scans for Parkinson's, MSA, Lewy body dementia, and Alzheimer's
This study tests if a new radioactive tracer called [18F]-MFBG can help doctors better distinguish between Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy (MSA), dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer's disease. It compares the new scan with two standard scans to see which is most accurate.
Ghent, GentAges 18–85 - NCT06733714Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus memory training for older adults
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp (tACS) combined with computer-based brain exercises can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have concerns about their cognitive health.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 50 years+ - NCT01799915Recruiting
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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04715399Recruiting
Research study collecting data for neurodegenerative diseases
This study collects health information from people with neurodegenerative diseases, some family members, and healthy controls to help researchers better understand these conditions. It may help future diagnosis and research, and participation may include noninvasive checks and other procedures depending on your situation.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06337578Recruiting
Telephone-based cognitive screening study
This study tests if a phone-based cognitive screening can effectively assess thinking and memory. It may help people who can't easily visit a clinic.
MilanAges 18–100 - NCT07589595RecruitingPhase 2
Donanemab for Early Cognitive Decline with Lewy Bodies
This study tests donanemab, an investigational drug designed to target amyloid proteins in the brain that may contribute to cognitive decline in people with early dementia with Lewy bodies. The trial aims to see if this treatment can slow cognitive decline and help preserve thinking and memory.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 55–85 - NCT06862557Recruiting
PEMF treatment for people with dementia
This study tests whether a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) device can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's or related dementias. If you or a loved one has memory loss, this trial looks at a potential new way to support brain health without medication.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 50–100 - NCT05514106Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
MIBG heart scan study for aging and neurologic conditions
This Phase 4 study tests how an iodine-based heart scan (a special imaging test) works in people with certain neurologic diagnoses and aging-related conditions. It may help researchers better understand the heart-brain connection in these disorders and improve future care.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 40–90 - NCT07314190Enrolling by invitation
Blood tests for brain diseases and mental health conditions
This study looks at blood tests to help diagnose and track brain diseases (like Alzheimer's) or mental health conditions. It compares patients to healthy volunteers to find better ways to detect and monitor these illnesses.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02194816Recruiting
Online survey study for people with Parkinson’s or Parkinsonism
This study looks at how changing certain factors over time relates to symptoms in Parkinson’s disease and related conditions. You may help researchers by completing longer online surveys every 6 months for 5 years.
Kenmore, WashingtonAges 19 years+ - NCT05460143Recruiting
Optical brain scanning to study memory and thinking
This study uses brain “optical” and possibly MRI scans to understand how thinking and memory work in people with Lewy body dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, or mild memory problems. It may help researchers find better ways to measure brain changes and cognition over time.
CambridgeAges 18 years+ - NCT05558709Recruiting
Test for thinking and behavior skills in neurodegenerative disease
This trial checks a new kind of paper-and-pen (or computer-based) test to better measure thinking and social/behavior skills in people with certain brain diseases. It may help researchers improve how these skills are tracked and understood over time.
ParisAges 18–90 - NCT06529744Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lewy body disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 60 recruiting lewy body disease 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 lewy body disease 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 lewy body disease 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.
