Testing terazosin for early Alzheimer's disease
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a medicine called terazosin (currently used for blood pressure or prostate problems) to see if it can improve brain energy use and slow the effects of Alzheimer's disease. It's for people with mild symptoms, and the study will measure whether the drug is safe and helpful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 50 to 80 years old
- Diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's
- Confirmed by a biomarker test (PET scan, spinal fluid, or blood test)
- If taking Alzheimer's medications (donepezil, memantine, etc.), the dose must be stable for at least 4 weeks
- Willing and able to have MRI scans and follow study procedures

This trial tests a medicine normally used for high blood pressure (terazosin) to see if it can improve thinking or slow down decline in people with dementia with Lewy bodies. It's an early-stage study, so the goal is also to check safety.
This study tests whether a medication called terazosin can boost energy levels in people with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). The goal is to see if it helps slow down the disease by supporting cell energy.
This study tests an investigational drug called BEY2153 for people with early Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help slow memory decline.
This study tests an experimental drug for Alzheimer's called NTRX-07. It aims to see if it can slow memory decline for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's.
This study tests whether a daily pill (tadalafil, a type of medicine usually used for blood pressure or erectile dysfunction) can help people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It aims to see if this drug can improve memory and slow down the disease, with the help of regular checkups and brain scans.
This study tests whether the sleep medicine trazodone can improve thinking and memory in people with early Alzheimer’s-related changes who also have sleep problems. If better sleep helps the brain, it may improve memory test results over time.
