Alzheimer's & Dementia Research

Alzheimer’s Los Angeles is committed to supporting local researchers’ efforts to understand, treat, prevent, and ultimately find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. We are also strongly supportive of participation in clinical trials and encourage community members, both with and without a dementia diagnosis, to explore opportunities for participation in clinical trials.

Clinical Trials

Scientists across the globe are researching medications that have the potential to prevent, slow, or stop the progression of Alzheimer’s. There is an urgent need for more people to enroll in clinical studies and trials.

Joining a research study/clinical trial, you:

  • May gain more understanding of the disease and how it relates to you.
  • May be offered free exams and payments for participation.
  • Are helping define the future of this disease.
