Clinical Research

Clinical research is a critical pathway in the development of new diagnostic tools and more effective treatments for patients. Historically, clinical research which is sometimes referred to as clinical trials has been conducted at academic medical centers. If your doctor was not affiliated with these centers and not aware of these trials, you like most patients would not have considered treatment options through a clinical trial. At the NCI all of our patients are aware of and have access to clinical trials as a possible treatment option for their central nervous system related condition.



At the NCI we have a newly renovated clinical research unit. Here we study promising new diagnostic and treatment options with our patients and their family members. The clinical research unit is managed by Exodon, one of the world's leading clinical research organization. Our clinical research unit offers all the latest safety equipment and medications. It is supervised by doctors and nurses trained in critical care and internal medicine. Our clinical research unit is an integral part of the comprehensive clinical services we offer to our patients with cognitive, neurobehavioral and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Presently we are conducting the following clinical trials investigating:

  • Monoclonal anti-bodies against amyloid beta as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease
  • Mitochondrial stabilization of brain cells as a potential treatment for dementia due to Alzheimer's disease
  • An experimental dose of the Exelon transdermal patch as a potential treatment for advanced dementia in Alzheimer's disease
  • Three nutracerutical formulations as a potential cognitive enhancer in treating Age Related Cognitive Decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
  • A dopaminergic based treated for apathy associated with acquired and traumatic brain injury
