A clinical trial for an Alzheimer’s treatment is looking for participants in Chicago.

Indiana-based pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly is launching a clinical trial of a new drug therapy for those at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, and they’re looking for participants in Chicago. At the Black Women's Expo, which takes place Aug. 12-14 at McCormick Place, attendees age 65 and older can get a free blood screening to see if they’re at risk for the disease.
