Scientists test heart drug for clues to prevent Alzheimer's

NCT ID NCT05386914

Summary

This study is investigating whether a short course of an FDA-approved drug called sirolimus can improve blood flow to the brain and lungs. It involves healthy adults, some with a genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease, to see how their bodies respond. Researchers are using advanced MRI scans to measure changes in blood flow before and after taking the drug, aiming to understand its potential effects on brain health.
