Clinical trials are research studies with volunteer patients to help identify safe and effective treatments. This research empowers people living with the disease help to find the treatments, prevention, and ultimately, the cure for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Crane believes in providing access to the trials, and the hope it offers patients, their families, and future generations.
