Description

Pin Wang and co-authors report a 2025 clinical trial of a drug called DL-3-n-butylphthalide in people with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease. The drug, known as NBP, guards nerve cells in several ways and has already helped people with vessel-related thinking problems. Whether it helps in this disease was not known.

The trial ran for twelve months at several centres and enrolled 270 patients aged fifty to eighty-five. Half received the drug three times a day and half received a dummy capsule. The main test was change on a standard thinking scale, with safety checks throughout. Trials like this one decide whether the drug earns a place in care.
