Clinical trials are the key to medical progress. Through
clinical trials, researchers test new ways to detect, treat and
prevent Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Without
clinical trials, there can be no new treatments or cures.
Ground-breaking research is going on that could have a
measurable impact on the lives of current and future Alzheimer's
patients. But a lack of volunteers for Alzheimer's clinical
trials is significantly slowing down this research and the
development of new Alzheimer's treatments. Recruiting and
retaining trial participants is now the greatest obstacle, other
than funding, to developing the next generation of Alzheimer's
treatments.
