The research aligns with IGC's commitment to include underrepresented populations and develop innovative treatments. CEO Ram Mukunda and lead scientist Dr. Jagadeesh S. Rao highlighted the study's importance for personalized dosing strategies in Alzheimer's care.
IGC Pharma has commenced patient enrollment at Neurostudies in Port Charlotte, Florida, for its Phase 2 clinical trial of IGC-AD1, a THC-based formulation aimed at treating agitation in Alzheimer's patients. The trial, involving 146 participants, will assess the efficacy of IGC-AD1, which targets neuroinflammation and neurotransmitter imbalances. Neurostudies, led by Dr. Liliana Montoya and Dr. George Li, brings over 20 years of clinical research experience.
