Default Thanks for this

In 2008, Allon reported Phase IIa clinical trial results showing that davunetide had a statistically significant positive impact on memory function in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a precursor to Alzheimer's disease (AD). The data was presented July 28 and July 30, 2008 to the International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (ICAD 2008).

Thanks for this Olsen, we have such great researchers here! I just read that this drug was granted orphan drug status from the FDA for PSP (a PD+ syndrome, as they call it) so maybe a PWP could get it? We'll see.
