Alzamend Neuro and Mass General team for trial of AL001 for Alzheimer’s

Alzamend Neuro, announced that it is partnering with Massachusetts General Hospital Mass Genera as its contract research organization CRO to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of AL001 for treatment of patients with Alzheimer’s. A healthy subjects cohort will also be studied to permit comparisons of their plasma and brain pharmacokinetics to that of patients with Alzheimer’s. Mass General is the original and largest clinical education and research facility of Harvard Medical School/Harvard University and houses the world’s largest hospital-based research program…”We are elated to partner with Mass General and Dr. Andronesi in this pivotal study for our lead therapeutic candidate AL001,” said Stephan Jackman, Chief Executive Officer of Alzamend. “If we can develop a next-generation lithium product AL001 with an improved safety profile and enhanced biodistribution in the brain that would not routinely require TDM, it would constitute a major improvement over current lithium-based treatments and positively impact the 6+ million Americans afflicted with Alzheimer’s. We look forward to providing more details regarding the study’s timeline and market opportunity in the near future.”
