Alzheimer’s and dementia brain and memory study with caregiver support
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This is a study that enrolls people with mild Alzheimer’s-related memory problems or dementia to help build a research “neurobank.” It also involves memory testing and may include brain scans, with a stable caregiver to support follow-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Ages 50 to 90
- You have been diagnosed with mild memory impairment due to Alzheimer’s or dementia
- Depression symptoms are low (Hamilton Depression Score under 10)
- Your dementia stage is not very early (Clinical Dementia Rating of 0.5 or higher)
- You have no major neurologic findings on exam and no major brain/health causes that could explain symptoms
- You have a steady, reliable caregiver who can help with study visits and home tasks

This study looks at how well people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) perform on standardized memory/brain tests. It may help researchers understand changes over time, and whether certain types of brain signals or test results track with the condition.
This study follows people diagnosed with dementia over time, with the help of a consistent caregiver, to better understand how dementia changes. It may help by adding new information that could improve future care and planning for families.
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.
This study tests a new way to support older adults with mild memory problems after they leave the hospital and go home with care services. It aims to improve their care and well-being.
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.
This study at Duke University is looking for people aged 25 to 80 who may be at risk for Alzheimer's disease. It involves brain scans (MRI and PET) and a spinal tap to learn more about the disease and find better ways to detect and treat it early.
