Early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease

This study tests a new drug called ARO-MAPT-SC in healthy people and those with early Alzheimer's. The goal is to check if it is safe and how the body processes it. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo by injection under the skin. The trial is still in early stages, …

This early-stage trial tests a drug called ALN-APP (mivelsiran) in 60 adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The drug is given via a spinal injection to see if it safely lowers certain proteins linked to Alzheimer's in the b…

This trial tests two experimental drugs, donanemab and RG6289, in people who carry a specific genetic mutation that causes an inherited, early-onset form of Alzheimer's disease. The study first gives donanemab to clear amyloid plaques from the brain, then randomly assigns partici…

This study is testing an experimental drug called DNL628 in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The main goal is to see if the drug is safe and how the body processes it. About 68 participants will receive either DNL628 or a placebo. This is an early-phase trial, so it f…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can slow cognitive decline in people with early Alzheimer's disease. The treatment targets a key brain region affected by Alzheimer's. Fifty-five partici…

This study tests whether a device that flashes light and plays sound at a specific frequency (40Hz) can help people with mild Alzheimer's. Sixty participants will use the device at home for an hour each day over six months. Researchers will check brain waves, memory, and blood ma…

This early-stage trial tests a drug called NIO752, given via spinal injection, to see if it can reduce production of tau protein in the brain. Tau buildup is linked to Alzheimer's damage. Ten people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's will receive either NIO752 or a placebo, and re…

This study is testing whether computerized brain training (BrainHQ) and Tai Chi-Qi Gong can improve memory, thinking, and mood in people with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Sixty participants aged 40-64 will be assigned to either the training program or an active control group.…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with cognitive training, can improve thinking skills and mood in people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia. Fifty participants will receive both real and placebo stimulation in…

This study compares two approaches for treating newly diagnosed Alzheimer's disease: the drug donepezil versus a non-drug approach using cognitive stimulation or remediation. Researchers will measure changes in thinking and memory over 6 months in 240 participants aged 50 and old…

This study tests whether a virtual reality headset that plays hypnotic stories and images can reduce anxiety and resistance during hygiene care for people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will compare the VR approach to standard care in 24 patients living in a long-term care…

This study investigates why some people with early-onset Alzheimer's disease or a variant called posterior cortical atrophy show different patterns of brain damage. Using advanced PET and MRI scans, researchers will map tau protein deposits and brain network activity to identify …

This study enrolls 130 Hispanic adults aged 55+ without dementia to see if a 12-week phone-based coaching program helps them become more active. Participants are randomly assigned to either the coaching program or a general brain health education group. The goal is to see if the …

This long-term study follows 700 adults who carry a rare genetic mutation that causes early-onset Alzheimer's. Researchers collect blood, spinal fluid, brain scans, and cognitive tests to find biomarkers that signal the disease before memory loss begins. The goal is to improve ea…

This study uses special brain scans (PET imaging) to measure two key proteins, amyloid and tau, in people with different forms of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers want to see how these protein levels change over one year. The study involves 60 adults with typical or atypical Alzh…

This study tests a new, non-invasive MRI technique to detect early brain changes linked to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will compare brain scans from 50 people with mild memory concerns to healthy volunteers. The goal is to find a simple, affordable way to identify those at r…

This study is testing whether a new, low-cost type of brain scan can find early signs of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Researchers will compare brain scans from 120 people, including those at risk for Alzheimer's, those with Parkinson's, and healthy volunteers. The goal is…
