INDIANAPOLIS, USA - The Indiana University Alzheimer Disease Center is seeking participants for two studies of medications.

In one trial, participants may be eligible if they are 50-90 years of age, have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and have a family member or caregiver available to attend the required 11 clinic visits.

Patients in this study will receive all study medication, tests and exams free and will be compensated for their time.

In the other study, participants must be at least 50 years old and have been diagnosed with or suspect they have Alzheimer's disease.

Study medication and assessment are free and patients will be compensated for transportation costs.
