About the AR1001 and Phase 2 study for Alzheimer’s disease

AR1001 is a multi-target oral drug for the treatment of Alzheimer’s
Disease and is expected to not only increase the removal of toxic beta
amyloid oligomers in circulation, but also inhibit neuronal cell death
and restore synaptic loss caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of 26-Week
Treatment of AR1001 in Patients with Mild to Moderate Alzheimer’s
Disease. The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of AR1001 in
slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s disease through various cognitive
and functional assessments and biomarker analysis. Enrollment is
expected to be completed in Q4 2019, and details of the clinical trial
are available at ClinicalTrial.gov.
