HIV drug repurposed in fight against early Alzheimer's

NCT ID NCT06519357

Summary

This small, early-stage study is testing whether lamivudine, a drug used for HIV, can lower levels of specific proteins in the blood that are linked to brain changes in Alzheimer's disease. The study involves 23 older adults with mild cognitive impairment who show early signs of Alzheimer's. Participants take the drug for 24 weeks so researchers can measure changes in these protein levels and monitor for side effects.
