Hi all! As Tincup point out earlier in this thread, all of our study opportunities are announcements as opposed to endorsements. Please do your own research. That said, Sano Genetics asked me to update this research announcement; (see below.) If interested, please reach out to their trial screener
here.

At least 50 million people worldwide are thought to be living with Alzheimer’s disease (the most common form of dementia). Although the biggest risk factor for Alzheimer’s is ageing, the disease is not a normal part of getting older and there are genetic factors at play in some cases.
The goal of this study is to help develop a potential new drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD), which researchers think could be effective in treating AD in its early stages. The drug, ALZ-801, is being developed by Alzheon as a potential new treatment for slowing or stopping cognitive decline in some AD patients.
Eligible participants for the study will receive either the potential new treatment drug or a placebo. The study will also help researchers gather further information about the drug’s long-term safety.
