Tiziana Gets Phase 2 Approval for Alzheimer's Drug

The transcript discusses a new drug from Tisiana Life Sciences that targets inflammation in the brain, specifically through microglial cells. The drug, which has shown positive results in multiple sclerosis, is now approved by the FDA for trials in Alzheimer's patients. The trial is expected to start screening patients in the fall, with initial results anticipated by fall 2024. The drug could potentially be used for other conditions like Parkinson's, ALS, and long COVID. It may also work in conjunction with existing Alzheimer's therapies. Recent breakthroughs in understanding Alzheimer's biology have enabled these advancements. Success in treatment would mean slowing disease progression and improving cognition. The drug may also help with long COVID, potentially boosting the labor market.
