Dementia Matters Clarifying the Alzheimer’s Disease Clinical Trials Landscape
Clinical trials are essential for improving the lives of those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. With so many trials out there, it can be difficult for someone who’s interested in participating in research to know where to start. Dr. Jonathan Graff-Radford joins the podcast to discuss the ins and outs of clinical trials and the state of Alzheimer’s treatments today, as well as share some highlights from his presentation at the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center’s (NACC) 2025 Spring ADRC Meeting.
Guest: Jonathan Graff-Radford, MD, behavioral neurologist, associate professor, vice chair, Mayo Clinic Department of Neurology, co-investigator, Mayo Clinic Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center
