If we are ever to find an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease we need the participation of every member of the Alzheimer's community.
Science cannot move forward without our participation.
Clinical Research Depends on People Like Us
The clinical trial sponsor is seeking people who are experiencing symptoms from Alzheimer’s disease, such as problems with memory or thinking clearly.
A Quick Personal Note from Bob DeMarco
My mother and I participated in a clinical trial for Alzheimer's disease. It was a wonderful experience for both of us. I can't tell you how much the significant memory testing, and detailed medical attention you receive means. It certainly helped relieve many of my worries at the time. The only way we can beat Alzheimer's is by getting greater participation in clinical trials from people like you and me.
More than 150 Alzheimer's and related clinical trials in the United States are looking for volunteers. At least 70,000 people with Alzheimer's, healthy volunteers, and caregivers are urgently needed. - National Institutes of Health (NIH)
