Sharp Neurocognitive Research Center Alzheimer's studies
Sharp Neurocognitive Research Center is enrolling both men and women ages 55 to 85 for studies of investigational medicines for Alzheimer's disease. To qualify, you must:
Attend study visits at Sharp Neurocognitive Research Center
Have a caregiver (spouse, relative or health care aide) who can accompany you to study visits and help monitor your study progress
Clinical trial for individuals at high risk for Alzheimer's
BAN3401-G000-303 (AHEAD 3-45) — This study is for people ages 55 to 80 who do not have symptoms of Alzheimer’s. To be eligible, a person between the ages of 55 to 65 must have family history of Alzheimer’s. A person between the ages of 65 and 80 need not have family history of Alzheimer’s. Participants will receive PET scans to determine the amount of amyloids (a type of protein) in the brain and to determine the frequency of infusions. Participants will receive infusions twice a month or monthly for approximately two years. The dose will be reduced to once a month for an additional two years. The study will determine if the investigational drug lecanemab can delay the onset or progression of Alzheimer’s. Learn more about this study.
Mild cognitive impairment clinical trials
NN6535-4730 (EVOKE) — This study is for people ages 55 to 85 who have been diagnosed with early Alzheimer’s disease. Participants will take semaglutide (a medication that is currently approved to treat diabetes) or a placebo for about 3 years and 4 months. The study will determine whether semaglutide can improve symptoms of early Alzheimer’s. Learn more about this study.
NN6535-4725 (EVOKE Plus) — This study is for people ages 55 to 85 who have been diagnosed with early Alzheimer’s disease. Participants will be enrolled in either the EVOKE or EVOKE Plus study depending on their brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) results. Participants will take either semaglutide (a medication that is currently approved to treat diabetes) or a placebo for about 3 years and 4 months. The study will determine whether the medication can improve symptoms of early Alzheimer’s. Learn more about this study.
Mild Alzheimer's clinical trials
CVL-871-2001 — This study is for people ages 50 to 85 who have been diagnosed with mild to moderate dementia. Participants will take either an investigational drug (CVL-871) or a placebo once a day for 12 weeks. The study will assess the safety and tolerability of CVL-871 for people with dementia-related apathy and examine the drug’s efficacy in treating apathy for people with dementia.
