First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing a drug called DAOIB in 123 people with mild Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. Participants take DAOIB for 24 weeks, with dose adjustments every 8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in thinking and memory, and look at blood markers related to brain stress. The goal is to see if these markers can predict how well the drug works.
