Phase 3 Trials
Monoclonal Antibodies
Donanemab for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
La Jolla, California
This trial is testing donanemab, a medication aimed at helping people with Alzheimer's Disease by removing harmful protein clumps from their brains. Donanemab has shown promise in reducing these harmful proteins in Alzheimer's disease.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist
Semaglutide for Early Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
San Diego, California
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
San Diego, California
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.
Behavioural Intervention
KarXT for Alzheimer's-Associated Psychosis
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
San Marcos, California
This trial is testing KarXT, a medication, to see if it can prevent psychotic symptoms from returning in people with Alzheimer's Disease. It works by balancing brain chemicals that cause hallucinations and delusions. KarXT has shown positive results in reducing symptoms of schizophrenia.
Trials With No Placebo
Virus Therapy
AAV2-BDNF Gene Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
San Diego, California
This trial tests a new gene therapy that uses a virus to deliver a protective protein called BDNF into the brains of people with early Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment. The goal is to help brain cells survive, function better, and form new connections. The therapy aims to slow or prevent further brain cell loss. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been explored for its potential to support neuron survival and function in neurodegenerative diseases.
Small Molecule
Simufilam for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Imperial, California
This trial involves patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease taking simufilam regularly. It aims to see if the medication is safe and effective over time. Simufilam works by targeting proteins in the brain that are associated with Alzheimer's.

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.
