The trial will last for four months, consisting of three months of treatment with xanamem or placebo followed by a one-month off-treatment observation period.

Data from the study will then be collated, reviewed, quality controlled, and analysed.

Results are expected to be reported during the second quarter of next year.

Ketelbey further added: “I’d like to thank all patients who participated in this trial, their families and carers, and all the trial sites around the world.

“Their commitment to medical research and to extending our understanding of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease benefits society as a whole and could help uncover important new drugs to treat these diseases.”
