Further, the company stated there are no behavior disorders in over 50% of patients. The data revealed by Biomarker and Cognitive Data indicates a step forward for the treatment. A Clinical study funded by NIH (The National Institutes of health), simufilam improved cognition in Alzheimer’s patients significantly, with no safety issues.
