The Alzheimer's pipeline is as strong as ever. Now, we just need the patients

Calling all Alzheimer’s disease patients and caregivers: There’s a study out there waiting for you.

There are, at this moment, 187 clinical trials for the neurodegenerative disease underway, the highest ever on record, according to a new report from the Alzheimer’s Association (AA). The research was published in the association’s journal, Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research and Clinical Interventions, last week, featuring data scraped from the ClinicalTrials.gov database. Last year, the report found 172 clinical trials in progress and 143 unique drugs. This year there are two fewer drugs on the list.
