Searching for an Alzheimer's Agitation Treatment?
Are you or a loved one dealing with restlessness, repetitive behaviors like rocking, or emotional outbursts? Finding an effective Alzheimer's agitation medication or dementia restlessness treatment is frequently a top priority for families, but current options are limited.
If you are looking for help with Alzheimer's agitation or a new treatment for Alzheimer's behavioral symptoms, participating in a clinical research study like BALANCE-AAD-1 can provide a potential new option while advancing medical science.

Support and Help for Alzheimer's Caregivers
If you are feeling overwhelmed, thinking, "My Alzheimer's parent is aggressive," or looking for resources on managing agitation in dementia, you understand how draining it can be when a dementia patient won't sit still or shows aggressive behavior.
Caregivers play a vital role. In the BALANCE-AAD-1 study, you act as the Study Partner. Your input on daily functioning, behavioral changes, and emotional outbursts is just as important as the clinical tests.
What to Expect if You Participate Together
- Screening Visit: You will attend a medical visit to review your loved one's diagnosis and agitation symptoms to confirm eligibility.
- Study Partner Check-ins: You will report on daily functioning, quality of life, and any behavioral changes during the study.
- Dedicated Guidance: The study team will walk you through all aspects of participation so you know exactly what to expect.

BALANCE-AAD-1
Phase 2Investigator: Celgene (BMS)
Target: Agitation in Alzheimer's Disease (55 to 90 years)
Duration: 6 months
Procedure: Orally Administered
About the BALANCE-AAD-1 Study
The BALANCE-AAD-1 study by Celgene (Bristol-Myers Squibb) is designed to evaluate whether BMS-986368, an investigational oral medication, can safely reduce agitation in people with Alzheimer's disease.
Agitation is one of the most difficult aspects of Alzheimer's disease — it can cause restlessness, emotional outbursts, or disruptive behaviors that are distressing for the person and demanding for study partners. Effective treatments for agitation in Alzheimer's remain limited.
This phase 2 clinical trial is evaluating a new once-daily oral medication to assess whether it can safely and meaningfully reduce agitation. Approximately 120 participants are enrolled across sites in the United States. BMS-986368 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.
Study Highlights at a Glance
- Ages: 55 to 90 years old
- Condition: Alzheimer's Disease experiencing agitation
- Treatment: Once-daily oral medication (active treatment or placebo)
- Duration: 8 weeks of treatment plus about 4 weeks of follow-up (about 12 weeks total)
- Requirement: A study partner (family member or friend) must attend visits
