“As a neurologist, a clinical researcher and someone who has seen Alzheimer’s in my own family, I’m grateful we are seeing such progress in our field. But, Abby, we need help from your readers to test these promising medications before the devastating symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease are apparent.” In a letter to Dear Abby, Reisa Sperling, M.D., a professor at Harvard Medical School, stresses the importance of clinical trial participation. Abby encourages readers to enroll in TrialMatch, our free clinical trial matching service. Read the letter at https://bit.ly/3v2oukr and learn more about TrialMatch at alz.org/TrialMatch.
