CLINICAL TRIALS
Why participate in a clinical trial? We can’t advance science to help cure Alzheimer’s without participating in trials that test the efficacy and safety of drugs and clinical protocols. Use this page as a resource to find the right trial for you. We’re including a link to register for trials that might be taking place near you.
Ongoing Trials That Need Your Help:
A Donanemab (LY3002813) Prevention Study in Participants With Alzheimer’s Disease (TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 3)

Can Lifestyle Changes Reverse Alzheimer’s Disease?
Dr. Dean Ornish and his colleagues are conducting the first randomized controlled trial to determine if the progression of early stage Alzheimer’s disease may be slowed, stopped, or perhaps even reversed by a comprehensive lifestyle medicine program, without drugs, devices, or surgery.
This lifestyle medicine program includes a whole foods low-fat, low-sugar plant-based diet; moderate exercise; stress management techniques including meditation; and psychosocial support.

Vanderbilt Memory & Aging Project
We are currently recruiting participants to expand the original VMAP cohort. VMAP study data is helping scientists understand the complexities of Alzheimer’s disease so that we can identify prevention strategies and treatments. By participating in research, you help create a healthier world for future generations.
We encourage anyone age 50 or older to join our participant registry. If you qualify for VMAP or another one of our research studies, we will contact you.
