For Families

Why are Clinical Trials So Important To Patients & Their Families?

*Every medication currently approved for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease has been made possible by patient participation in clinical trials

*REMEMBER – THE FIRST PATIENT THAT IS CURED FROM ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE WILL BE A CLINICAL TRIAL PARTICIPANT

Clinical Trial Participation Challenges

*AD patients & families are often resigned to the diagnosis unlike cancer patients who often take on a combative attitude to flight to beat it!

*Patients and families are not always aware that clinical trials are an option similar to cancer patients but talks, community outreach and other education programs like this one will help get the message out.
