The treatment, which targets the OGA enzyme, carried out not stimulate a modification in standard to endpoint time in a rating range of Alzheimer's extent in either dose assessed." While this negative result was actually disappointing, our company continue to be fully commited to tap as a high view aim at in Alzheimer's health condition as well as plan to carry on researching tau biology," Skovronsky claimed, speaking on a second-quarter revenues telephone call Thursday.
