We built the tool we wished existed when we needed it most.

The Fiveash Foundation started the way most things like this do — not as a business plan, but as a family trying to find a clinical trial for someone we loved, and discovering that the information existed, but nowhere anyone could actually use it. It was scattered across registries, written for researchers instead of families, and impossible to search by the things that actually mattered: where you live, what stage you're at, whether you even qualify.

So we built a single place to search it instead.

What we do today

Right now, the Fiveash Foundation is one thing: a live, filterable map of Alzheimer's and dementia clinical trials, pulled directly from ClinicalTrials.gov and kept current automatically. You can search by condition, phase, recruitment status, distance from where you live, age, and sex — and just as importantly, by who the trial is actually for. Not every trial needs a diagnosis. Many need healthy volunteers, caregivers, or people with a family history to take part, and we built the matcher to surface those too.

Where we're headed

Alzheimer's and dementia are where this started, because that's the fight our family knows firsthand. But the problem we're solving — trial information that's real, current, and actually searchable by the people who need it — isn't unique to one disease. Over time, we intend to extend the same matcher to other conditions where families are facing this exact same maze.

Who's behind this

The Fiveash Foundation is a small, family-started effort. We're not a hospital, a research institution, or a pharmaceutical company — we're not affiliated with any of the trials or sponsors listed on this site. We just built the map.
