The purpose of the trial is to test a potential new treatment for improving cognitive performance, including issues with memory, concentration, decision-making and the like.
This trial investigates the effectiveness of an oral medication called Xanamem® in improving cognitive symptoms in patients with MCI or mild or moderate dementia due to AD.
Xanamem was created to block the excess production of cortisol – the stress hormone – inside brain cells. High levels of cortisol are often seen in people with Alzheimer’s disease.
The trial medication is experimental.
