Trials in Kentucky.
15 APOE4-relevant Alzheimer’s trials run in Kentucky — 2 of them recruiting. Each one translated into plain English, with our read on what it means for an APOE4 carrier.

- Non-Alzheimer's focus, carriers may not qualifyNCT04120766Safety and Modulation of ABCC9 Pathways by Nicorandil for the Treatment of Hippocampal Sclerosis of Aging
This Phase 2 trial is testing nicorandil, a drug already used for heart conditions, to see whether it is safe and whether it affects a brain pathway linked to…
- Not relevant to APOE4 carriersNCT04165109Trial-Ready Cohort-Down Syndrome (TRC-DS)

- Late-stage dementia care, genotype not relevantNCT05644262Life's End Benefits of cannaBidiol and tetrahYdrocannabinol
This Phase 2 trial is testing whether a liquid oral combination of THC and CBD (the two main active compounds in cannabis) can reduce agitation in people with…
- Open to carriers, not 4-specificNCT06223360A Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Benfotiamine in Patients With Early Alzheimer's Disease (BenfoTeam)
