Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common cause of dementia and affects 1 in 10 Americans over the age of 65. So if so many people have it, why don’t we have a cure? Let’s talk about why finding effective treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease is so challenging and how early clinical trials will be the key to solving this difficult problem.
Interested in learning more about clinical trials? Check out the links below! Anyone can see if they're eligible to participant - and all trials need healthy control volunteers, too, so talk to your doctor about it even if you have no symptoms.
