Could a transplant drug hold the key to slowing Alzheimer's?

NCT ID NCT04629495

Summary

This study is testing whether a drug called rapamycin, taken daily for a year, is safe and might help slow down memory and thinking problems in older adults with early-stage Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. Researchers will enroll 40 participants to measure changes in brain health, cognition, and daily function. The goal is to see if this existing medication can be repurposed to control the progression of Alzheimer's.
