Alzheimer’s Disease: The most common form of dementia
An irreversible, progressive neurologic disorder that slowly degrades memory, thinking and social skills that affects a person’s ability to function independently.
In October 2022, we commenced a Phase2b of Trappsol® Cyclo™ for the treatment of early Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), targeting the reduction of amyloid beta and tau.
Affects more than 5 million people in the U.S.1
6th leading cause of death in the U.S.1
500,000 new cases every year2
8 million cases projected by 20501
Trappsol® Cyclo™ is a proprietary formulation of hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin and in multiple clinical studies has shown encouraging results to effectively manage the transportation of cholesterol. Many of the known risk factors for Alzheimer’s are associated with cholesterol metabolism. Cholesterol imbalance in Alzheimer’s patients is well known, and significant research exists suggesting these imbalances are responsible for amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau accumulation. Furthermore, neurons, because of their high metabolic demands, experience an increased level of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress has also been linked to abnormal cholesterol accumulation and processing. Alzheimer’s shares features with NPC-1, a neurovisceral, genetic disease in which cholesterol accumulates in lysosomes, including progressive decline in cognitive ability, amyloid beta plaques in the CNS, and increased levels of tau in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
