Burke Clinical Trials for Alzheimer’s Patients
Burke Rehabilitation Hospital is currently recruiting participants for the Triad Research Study, which is evaluating a medication to see if it may reduce symptoms of agitation due to Alzheimer’s disease.
Agitation, expressed as aggression – both physical and verbal – can make caring for your loved one intimidating and stressful.
To qualify for the study, patients must be between 50 to 90 years old; have a caregiver able to attend all study visits; and have moderate to severe agitation due to Alzheimer’s.
Study-related medical exams and assessments are at no cost. Attendance at eight clinic visits over 16 weeks is a requirement for participation.
To learn more about this clinical trial, contact Burke at 914-597-2476.
