Alzheimer's Anti-Inflammatory trial halted early – what we learned

NCT ID NCT04795466

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

Summary

This study tested whether anti-inflammatory drugs could help people with early Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment. It was stopped early, so only one drug was studied in 34 participants. The main goal was to measure changes in thinking and memory, but the early termination limited what could be concluded.
