Is there something you're forgetting?
Or are you noticing others you care about being a bit more absent-minded than they used to be?
Perhaps it's you, your parents, your partner or spouse, or close friends...

They say elephants never forget but people can, especially as they grow older, and things do tend to slip our minds.
This can be worrying. Often there's nothing at all to be concerned about.
However, sometimes it can be signs of the early stages of memory loss.

CGMRT is one of New Zealand's leading charitable medical research trusts, working to conduct clinical trials to help find solutions for a lot of the issues surrounding ageing.

We are presently involved in looking at the area of memory and what can be done to help counter short term memory loss. We're working alongside pharmaceutical companies in trialling new treatments.

As part of this we are looking for people who will be willing to take part in our latest study, with the goal of helping themselves and others.

If you are between 50 - 85 years of age, and feel that your memory might be worsening, you might like to take part in a clinical research study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of a new investigational medication that may help slow the progression of early memory loss.
