The addition of this site with individuals living with Alzheimer's from the Hispanic community is a significant milestone in our Phase 2 trial.

"According to clinicaltrials.gov, IGC-AD1 is the only natural THC-based investigational drug undergoing FDA trials," per the release.

他们的疗法涉及低剂量的四氢大麻酚和另一种化合物,在临床前研究中显示出改善Aβ斑块和减轻阿尔茨海默氏症相关痴呆症神经精神症状的前景。
