The first part of the study began by randomly dividing the test subjects in four groups including: wild type, APP/PS1, APP/PS1 + Dihexa administered at a dose of 1.44 mg/kg, and APP/PS1 + Dihexa administered at a dose of 2.88 mg/kg [1]
Importantly, a substantial number of patients had multiple reasons noted for stopping (21%), underscoring the complexity of real-world medication use and the challenges patients face when using these therapies
It is this breadth of documented laboratory activity that makes it particularly relevant across multiple research disciplines
