Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are essential to developing new treatments for the diseases that cause dementia, and to ensuring that these are safe and effective.

This is dependent on a number of factors including investment in research and the clinical trials infrastructure and how easy it is for pharmaceutical companies to conduct trials and for new treatments to be approved for use in the healthcare system.
