Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies designed to test new treatments, interventions, or diagnostic tools.

Clinical trials are how new treatments are tested. UCSF’s Memory and Aging Center (MAC) runs selected clinical trials for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and Huntington’s disease.

Your participation helps us evaluate these potential therapeutics. If one of our trials looks interesting to you, please talk with your doctor or contact the study team to see if it is appropriate for you.

You can also search for other clinical trials at UCSF or check the NIH site, ClinicalTrials.gov.
