Phase 3 Trials
Behavioural Intervention
KarXT for Alzheimer's-Associated Psychosis
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
Allentown, Pennsylvania
This trial is testing KarXT, a medication, to see if it can prevent psychotic symptoms from returning in people with Alzheimer's Disease. It works by balancing brain chemicals that cause hallucinations and delusions. KarXT has shown positive results in reducing symptoms of schizophrenia.
Behavioural Intervention
Masupirdine for Agitation in Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
Staten Island, New York
This trial will test a medication called masupirdine, which participants will take regularly. It targets people with Alzheimer's disease who are experiencing agitation. The study aims to see if masupirdine can help reduce agitation and ensure it is safe and well-tolerated. Masupirdine has been previously evaluated in patients with moderate Alzheimer's disease and was found to be generally safe and well-tolerated.
Monoclonal Antibodies
Donanemab for Early Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
Springfield, New Jersey
This trial is testing different doses of donanemab, a drug aimed at helping people with early Alzheimer's disease. Donanemab has shown rapid reduction of brain amyloid in early Alzheimer's disease. The study will look at how often and how severely participants experience a side effect involving brain swelling. Researchers also want to find out which patient characteristics might predict this side effect.
Trials With No Placebo
Gene Therapy
Gene Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
New York, New York
This trial is a study to evaluate the safety of a gene therapy (LX1001) for people with a specific genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease. The therapy aims to convert a harmful gene variant to a protective one, potentially slowing the disease's progression.
Small Molecule
Simufilam for Alzheimer's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Toms River, New Jersey
This trial involves patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease taking simufilam regularly. It aims to see if the medication is safe and effective over time. Simufilam works by targeting proteins in the brain that are associated with Alzheimer's.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
