Phase 3 Trials
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist
Semaglutide for Early Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
Houston, Texas
This trial is to test whether the medication semaglutide has a positive effect on early Alzheimer's disease. The study will last for up to 173 weeks, and participants will have 17 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. The study includes various tests and scans, and at 10 of the clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. The trial is only for women.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist
Semaglutide for Early Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing whether semaglutide has a positive effect on early Alzheimer's disease by comparing it to a placebo. There will be 17 clinic visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor, and various tests and scans will be performed. The study will last for up to 173 weeks.
Monoclonal Antibodies
Donanemab for Early Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
Fayetteville, Arkansas
This trial is testing donanemab, a drug for early Alzheimer's disease. It targets people with early symptoms and specific brain changes. The drug helps remove harmful proteins from the brain, potentially slowing down or improving symptoms.
Monoclonal Antibodies
Donanemab for Early Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
Houston, Texas
This trial is testing different doses of donanemab, a drug aimed at helping people with early Alzheimer's disease. Donanemab has shown rapid reduction of brain amyloid in early Alzheimer's disease. The study will look at how often and how severely participants experience a side effect involving brain swelling. Researchers also want to find out which patient characteristics might predict this side effect.
Trials With No Placebo
Gene Therapy
Gene Therapy for Frontotemporal Dementia
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1 & 2
Houston, Texas
This trial tests PBFT02, a gene therapy that uses a virus to deliver a healthy GRN gene to the brain. It targets patients aged 35-75 with frontotemporal dementia caused by GRN mutations. The virus helps bring the healthy gene to brain cells, which may improve their condition. This approach has been proposed as a treatment for this type of dementia.
Radiopharmaceutical
Tau Tracer Comparison for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
Houston, Texas
This trial uses special imaging agents to help visualize harmful brain proteins in people at risk of Alzheimer's disease. The agents make these proteins glow during scans, allowing doctors to see them clearly and monitor the disease.
Behavioural Intervention
Sensory Stimulation for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 award
Stafford, Texas
This trial is an extension of a previous study where participants will receive treatment with an Active Sensory Stimulation System for up to 12 months. There will be no sham treatment or randomization in this
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
