SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian mental health researchers have developed a once-a-day pill they believe might stop or slow the onset of Alzheimer's disease, with human trials expected within two months.
A 15-month trial on mice showed the drug called PBT2 reduced the amyloid protein, which many scientists believe causes Alzheimer's, by 60 percent within 24 hours, said researchers at The Mental Health Research Institute of Victoria.
