$ALZN Alzamend Neuro (NASDAQ: ALZN) has initiated dosing in its Phase II clinical trial of AL001, a novel lithium formulation, at Massachusetts General Hospital. The study aims to compare AL001's brain absorption and blood levels against existing lithium carbonate products in healthy subjects. Topline data is expected by the end of 2025.
AL001 represents a potential breakthrough in lithium-based treatments, as previous mouse studies demonstrated improved brain absorption with lower blood levels, potentially eliminating the need for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). This advancement could benefit over 43 million Americans affected by Alzheimer's disease, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and PTSD.
