In other recent news, Alzamend Neuro, Inc. has made significant strides in its development of treatments for neurological disorders. The biopharmaceutical company reported promising results from a nonclinical study of its investigational lithium therapy, AL001. The study suggested that AL001 might provide therapeutic benefits for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological conditions, potentially with an improved safety profile.
The study, carried out at the University of South Florida and analyzed by Sannova Analytical LLC, showed that AL001 led to consistently higher lithium concentrations in critical brain regions at lower doses than lithium carbonate, a current FDA-approved treatment. This suggests that AL001 may deliver brain-specific lithium treatment more effectively and with fewer side effects.
Alzamend’s CEO, Stephan Jackman, stated that this data will shape the forthcoming "Lithium in Brain" Phase II clinical trials in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital. These trials will assess AL001 in healthy subjects and patients diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s and other conditions. It’s worth noting that these findings are based on animal models, and the efficacy and safety of AL001 in humans will be further evaluated in the upcoming clinical trials.
