Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. At present there is no cure for Alzheimer’s. Healthcare Research Network is conducting a trial for a new medication to treat people who have early onset Alzheimer’s disease or who suspect they may have Alzheimer’s disease.

What is a Clinical Trial?
Clinical trials often involve patients with specific health conditions who then benefit from receiving otherwise unavailable treatments, free medical care and compensation for participation.
In planning a clinical trial, the sponsor or investigator first identifies the medication or device to be tested. In medical jargon, effectiveness is how well a treatment works in practice and efficacy is how well it works in a clinical trial.
In coordination with a panel of expert investigators (usually physicians well known for their publications and clinical experience), the sponsor decides what to compare the new agent with (one or more existing treatments or a placebo), and what kind of patients might benefit from the medication or device. If the sponsor cannot obtain enough patients with this specific disease or condition at one location, then investigators at other locations who can obtain the same kind of patients to receive the treatment would be recruited into the study.
During the clinical trial, the investigators: recruit patients with the predetermined characteristics, administer the treatment(s), and collect data on the patients’ health for a defined time period. These patients are volunteers and may be compensated for participating in clinical trials. These data include measurements like vital signs, concentration of the study drug in the blood, and whether the patient’s health improves or not. The researchers send the data to the trial sponsor, who then analyzes the pooled data using statistical tests.
While most clinical trials compare two medications or devices, some trials compare three or four medications, doses of medications, or devices against each other.
Benefits of Participating
Our clinical trials depend on volunteer participation. It is through the thousands of people who have participated in our clinical trials that new medications and therapies are able to be brought to market.
The bottom line is that by participating in a study at Healthcare Research Network, you can personally contribute to the advancement of global health care.
You will benefit in many ways as a participant:
• You will receive a careful evaluation of your personal health, including your nutritional and mental status.
• This evaluation is provided at no cost to you.
• You will have the opportunity to receive new therapies before they are made available to the general public.
• Often, we will compensate you for your time and travel costs.
• The bottom line is that participating in a study at Healthcare Research Network is a way you can personally contribute to the advancement of global health care.
