TrialX Updates: AI Powered Clinical Trial Finder for ALS Network, Taking Decentralized Research Beyond Earth with Ax-4 Space Mission and more…
We’re honored to share that TrialX’s global clinical trial finder now powers the ALS Network’s Trial Finder—an AI-driven platform designed to help individuals easily discover clinical trials focused on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and related motor neuron diseases. The new tool offers a personalized, user-friendly search experience—guiding users through tailored questions, smart filters, and clear trial summaries to help them connect with relevant studies and stay informed through a volunteer registry. ALS is a progressive and fatal neuromuscular condition with no known cure, affecting approximately 5.2 people per 100,000 in the U.S. alone. Learn more.

🎤️ UNSUNG BUT IMPACTFUL VOICES OF CLINICAL RESEARCH HEROES
Behind every clinical trial are patients, families, and advocates hoping for answers—and behind them are professionals working to make that journey more informed, accessible, and human. In our blog series – Unsung But Impactful Voices of Clinical Research Heroes – we are talking about the people at the heart of it all. This month we are thrilled to feature Kayleigh Greenwood, Patient Engagement Specialist at The Michael J. Fox Foundation. With a deep commitment to making clinical trials more accessible and patient-friendly, Kayleigh shares her journey, the purpose that drives her, and the moments that continue to inspire her.

🧬 FEATURED CLINICAL STUDIES
Powered by TrialX
The MEMORY Study: Indiana University researchers are studying how daily stress affects memory and thinking in older adults. Participants aged 65+ with memory concerns but no dementia diagnosis, will complete a memory assessment, track stress for two weeks using a phone and smartwatch, and return for follow-ups one and two years later.
Neurostimulation for Binge Eating: An early feasibility pilot study at Penn Medicine is investigating the safety and functionality of the NeuroPace RNS® System—a responsive brain-stimulation device—for adults aged 22–70 with obesity and frequent loss-of-control eating despite prior treatments.
The ASPIRION Study: This study is testing a new drug to help people with celiac disease who still have symptoms even on a gluten-free diet. Participants, between age 18–75, will receive the study drug or a placebo through regular injections while continuing their current diet. The study lasts up to 48 weeks, with a chance to continue longer.
Training the Brain for Healthy Vision: Researchers are studying how the brain adapts after central vision loss, using simulations in healthy adults aged 18–30. The goal is to improve future therapies for conditions like macular degeneration by understanding how different types of visual training affect perception and brain function.
