A Phase 2 interventional study of Plans4Care in Dementia, Dementia Alzheimer Type and Alzheimer Dementia (AD), sponsored by Plans4Care Inc. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 21 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-08-11.
Sponsored by Plans4Care Inc · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
The Plans4Care study is a research study funded by the National Institute on Aging (Grant# R44AG084365). The Plans4Care app is designed to help family caregivers address over 90 common care challenges such as behavioral symptoms (anxiety, agitation), functional changes and other concerns, and receive an action plan which provides easy-to-use non-drug strategies, resources, tips and education.
The goal of the study is to evaluate whether using the Plans4Care app will help you feel more confident providing care to your family member with dementia, better understand dementia, and enhance your own well-being. You also have the option to talk with a care advisor who can practice use of strategies or address concerns you may have.
We invite caregivers of people with dementia to take part in this research study. You are being asked to evaluate a new online application (web app) called Plans4Care that provides personalized action plans to address common dementia-related care challenges including tips for your own health and wellbeing. This study is being conducted by Plans4Care, Inc. and researchers at Drexel University in collaboration with Thomas Jefferson University.

Start is estimated for Aug 2025; primary completion for Aug 2027, 24 months later.
Of 130 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Alzheimer Disease, half reached primary completion within 26 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 39. This study's planned 24 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 257 studies reached it within 37 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 58.
