Clinical trial of Alzheimer's disease drug shows clear reductions in AD development

rana Biotechnology of new, possibly more effective drugs which hit the same target as Clioquinol. UCL plans to be involved in further testing of the principal using Clioquinol in a larger, UK multi-centre study which is seeking public funding."

Dr Susanne Sorensen, Head of Research at the Alzheimer's Society says: "The Alzheimer's Society welcomes this research as the results indicate that there may be a novel use for this already existing drug in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The trial presented here is limited in its scale and the Alzheimer's Society believes it would be valuable to see a larger scale trial. The potential for new drugs that may interfere with or revert the progression of Alzheimer's disease gives hope to people with dementia and their carers. There are currently only limited and expensive treatment options available for Alzheimer's disease and none that revert the disease for more than a short period."
