This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical brain stimulation can help people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease or memory problems caused by Alzheimer's. The treatment involves wearing a cap that delivers a mild electrical current to the scalp. Researchers …

This early study is testing whether a robotic surgical system can safely perform delicate neck surgery on people with Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to improve the brain's natural drainage system to help clear harmful proteins linked to memory loss. The study will enroll 15 peo…

This large Phase 3 trial will test if adding an experimental oral drug called masitinib to standard Alzheimer's medications can safely slow down the progression of the disease. The study will involve 600 people with mild Alzheimer's who are already taking stable doses of their cu…

This study is testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool designed to improve brain scans for Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if the AI can produce clear, accurate images even when the scan uses a lower dose of radiation or takes less time. If successful, this could m…

This study aims to determine if a simple blood test can help doctors diagnose Alzheimer's disease at an early stage during routine primary care visits. Researchers will enroll 1,000 adults aged 55 and older who have concerns about their memory or thinking abilities. The study wil…

This study aims to develop a better method for spotting early signs of Alzheimer's disease in community-dwelling adults. Researchers will test a new digital screening strategy that analyzes changes in a person's walking patterns, facial expressions, and speech, combined with bloo…

This study aims to prevent serious complications after heart and vascular surgery in adults 65 and older. Researchers will test whether personalized pre-surgery training (including physical exercise, cognitive games, and social support) and special monitoring during surgery can r…

This early-stage study aims to test the safety of an experimental vaccine called AV-1980R in older adults who show early biological signs of Alzheimer's disease but don't yet have memory problems. The study will enroll 48 participants aged 65-80 who will receive either the vaccin…
