What is a clinical trial?
- Clinical trials are research studies that explore whether a medical strategy, treatment or device is safe and effective for people. Before people are given a new intervention (drug, device, or treatment), it is carefully studied in the laboratory or in animals. Studies with the most promising results are then moved into clinical trials with people. Clinical trials are used to evaluate new and better ways to treat, prevent, detect, diagnose, and manage symptoms of diseases.
Why Participate?
- By participating in clinical research, you help medical science by providing valuable information about treatments and prevention of disease. Most treatments we use today are the result of past clinical trials. One way to gain access to promising new interventions is to participate in a clinical trial while also helping science.
Eligibility
- Researchers follow clinical trials guidelines when deciding who can participate in a study. These guidelines are called Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria. These criteria are based on factors such as age, gender, the type and stage of a disease, treatment history, and other medical conditions. Trial coordinators can provide additional information about individual trials.
What are the benefits and risks of participating in a clinical trial?
- By being in a clinical trial you help advance medicine and help future patients. You may also have access to promising treatments by joining a clinical trial. However, all clinical trials have risks. There may be side effects or other risks, which may or may not be worse than those from regular care. The intervention (drug, device, treatment) may not work for you, even if it helps others and you may get a placebo. Joining a research trial may be more burdensome due to more frequent visits. However, more visits may give you more attention and monitoring which you would not normally get by your regular doctor.
Are the research staff vaccinated against Covid-19?
- Yes. All staff are compliant with mandates set forth by the state and Stanford University unless the staff have a valid exception
Are research staff wearing protective equipment?
- Yes. All research staff are required to wear masks and may have additional requirements based upon each building protocol. All buildings for clinical care such as our Stanford Neuroscience Health Center (SNHC) have requirements for Health Screening, physical distancing, and masks.
Are there safety protocols required due to the Covid-19 pandemic?
- Yes. Stanford University has safety requirement protocols and some buildings locations have additional protocols as mandated by Stanford Healthcare.
Are there safety protocols for visitors arriving to buildings?
- Yes. There are requirements for masks for all visitors. There may be additional requirements based upon Stanford University, county, and state mandates. All research participants are required be tested for covid-19 within 72 hours of arriving to a University building or are required to be vaccinated against covid-19. All visitors are required to answer health screenings before arriving. This may be subject to change according to local and state mandates.
The Experimental Subject's Bill of Rights include the basic required elements of informed consent and the Experimental Subject's Bill of Rights (California Law).
These documents do not contain study specific information, but state what will be explained to the participant about the specific study by the interpreter (e.g. key information, purpose of the research, expected duration, procedures, risks, benefits, alternatives [if any], confidentiality of information, compensation [if any] for research-related injuries, whom to contact for questions about the research and research subjects' rights, that participation is voluntary, future use of the participants' information or biological specimens, and whether information about the research will be submitted for inclusion in a clinical trial registry).

Research Studies affiliated with the Stanford ADRC
Healthy Brain Aging Study
Goal: The Healthy Brain Aging Study refers to research undertaken by the Stanford Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC). The Stanford ADRC is part of a nationwide network of congressionally mandated Centers of Excellence supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We study people with Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, Lewy body disease, Parkinson’s disease, and normal cognition (healthy brain aging). The goal is to obtain information on factors that affect the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders and to find out how healthy brain aging differs from disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The study collects information on medical history and family history. Data collection often includes questionnaires, memory testing, a blood sample, a brain scan, a stool sample, a very small (3 millimeter) skin biopsy, and spinal fluid examination. Not everyone can do all these studies, but we ask participants to consider these when possible. The Healthy Brain Study follows volunteers over time, and many participants consider brain donation at the time of death. Brain donation provides a definitive diagnosis and provides tissues for scientific research.

Observational Study for healthy individuals with normal cognition at risk for Alzheimer’s disease
APEX Study
Brief Summary: AHEAD Plasma Extension study
This is an observational research study. The APEX study is designed to follow individuals who do not meet all the requirements to be in the AHEAD 3-45 Study. This study is to help researchers understand the changes in blood tests over time that may predict future risk of amyloid build-up, and to understand the decline in thinking and memory that may occur in older individuals who are at risk for developing Alzheimer’s Disease. The APEX study will compare people who did not have intermediate or amyloid levels in the brain (APEX participants) to individuals who did (AHEAD 3-45 Study). Researchers also hope to learn about the factors that may preserve memory and thinking in older individuals.
The APEX study will:
- Look at blood biomarkers to learn how they may be related to the progression of memory problems. A biomarker is a specific physical trait used to measure the progress of an Alzheimer’s dementia disease or condition.
- Follow memory and thinking tests over time.
Time commitment is four years where there will be one baseline visit and follow up visits every year for 4 years. At these visits, participant will have blood drawn and will take the same memory and thinking tests that they may have completed when they were taking screening tests for the AHEAD study.
Who can participate:
- Previously consented Male or female participants aged 55 to 80 years of to participate in AHEAD A3-45 screening.
- Has A3-45 screening plasma biomarker results required for determining eligibility to participate in the A3-45 trial.
- If an amyloid PET scan was conducted in A3-45, the scan was determined to be below the 20 centiloid cut point required for eligibility into the treatment arms of the A3 or A45 trial.

Observational Trials for Neurodegenerative Disease
HD Project
Brief Summary: Neurodegenerative Disease Research Platform - Novel Remote Monitoring and Deep Phenotyping.
This is an observation study, and the goal of the study is to develop novel markers of disease onset and progression in neurodegenerative disease. This observational study will connect remote monitoring with biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease. Mobile app-based cognitive testing and video-based computer vision and machine learning algorithms will identify markers of neurodegenerative disease progression and link them to changes in plasma, skin biopsy, and cerebrospinal fluid with the goal of developing novel biomarkers and therapeutics.
This study consists of one in-person visit per year. The remaining assessments are remote (using video and mobile app assessments) once every three months for at least one year, and participants are invited to continue for as long as they wish for many years to come with the same schedule of events annually (i.e., one in-person visit and three remote evaluations per year)
Who can participate:
1. Individuals who has a neurovegetative disease diagnosis including but not limited to Huntington`s Disease, Alzheimer`s disease, Parkinson`s disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, or Normal Pressure Hydrocephalous.
This group will be subdivided into two groups:
a. Clinical: Clinical features diagnostic of one of the neurodegenerative diseases.
b. Pre-clinical: Biomarker positive without clinical features diagnostic of neurodegenerative disease
2. Healthy aging controls.
3. Non-carrier family members of genetic mutations carriers.

Registry Study
ALZ-NET Registry study
Brief Summary: Patient registry for Alzheimer's Network for Treatment and Diagnostics (ALZ-NET)
This study is an observational study including people who are evaluated for or receive treatment with novel (or new) FDA-approved therapies for Alzheimer’s disease. ALZ-NET will follow and record information about people’s health, safety, brain scans, and long-term health outcomes during their regular memory care. ALZ-NET aims to be a resource for evidence gathering, information sharing, and education across clinical and research communities to support and improve care of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease.
Patients will be monitored if they are evaluated for treatment, throughout treatment duration, and following treatment completion for as long as they are willing. Patients may stop using any novel FDA-approved therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease, or any other commercially available non-investigational Alzheimer’s Disease therapy, during their ALZ-NET participation period. Patients who discontinue the FDA-approved therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease will continue to be followed for the duration of ALZ-NET with all clinical evaluations.
Who can participate:
- Patient or patient’s legally authorized representative (LAR) or proxy (e.g., spouse or legal guardian) has the ability to understand the purpose and risks of ALZ-NET and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization.
- Patient is at least 18 years of age at the time of informed consent.
- Patient has memory concerns and/or may have diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and has been identified by an approved site investigator (as defined by protocol) to be appropriate for treatment with novel FDA-approved AD therapies
- Patient’s treating clinician has made the decision to treat the patient with novel FDA-approved therapy for AD independent of the purpose of ALZ-NET and has already or will be initiating treatment.

SATURN -Statins Use in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients
This research is being done to find out if it is better to continue or discontinue statin drugs (a type of cholesterol-lowering medication) in people who had a brain hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) while taking such a statin drug. It will also examine if having certain genes (apolipoproteine E) influences the likelihood of getting a brain hemorrhage while taking a statin drug.
