Alzheimer's dementia and brain inflammation trial
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if treating brain inflammation can help older adults hospitalized with sudden confusion or cognitive issues. It may help those without a prior dementia diagnosis but who have toxic or metabolic causes for their symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 90 years old
- You do not have a prior diagnosis of dementia
- You are currently in the hospital with sudden confusion, delirium, or other cognitive changes
- Your confusion is thought to be caused by a toxic or metabolic condition

This trial looks at how blood biomarkers relate to thinking, daily function, and survival in older adults, including those with neurological issues or dementia. It aims to improve understanding and care for hospitalized seniors.
This study supports Alzheimer’s research by collecting health and thinking (cognitive) test results and blood samples to study genetics and biomarkers. You may be enrolled if you’re age 40 or older and can do these checkups, even if you have mild memory problems or dementia.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for inflammation in the brains of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects memory and thinking problems.
This study looks at how to better predict and understand Alzheimer's disease by using advanced brain scans and spinal fluid tests. It aims to find ways to identify people who stay healthy longer despite risk factors.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease and predict how the disease will progress. If you have memory or thinking problems that have been getting worse, you may be able to join.
This study looks at a specific brain pathway that may be linked to early memory loss in Alzheimer's disease. It compares people with early Alzheimer's to healthy older adults to understand how connections between brain cells start to break down.
