I had a long conversation with someone whose father was in a trial for this drug, and got the drug they found out after. He had nearly zero decline in the 4 years. He was able to keep taking it after the trial, once it was revealed he had not been in placebo group. It was so encouraging to talk to her, bc my mom has Alzheimer’s. She’s past early stage, so could not take it now. But it’s heartening.
