Evidence outlook
Phase 2/3 study terminated, no active studies registered
The furthest-phase study registered for this program (NCT05267535) was terminated, and no study is currently active on the registry. Earlier completed evidence carries a partial signal signal; the stopped study adds none. Check the registry record for the sponsor's stated reason.
NCT02615002: The study was randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled, and included 371 participants, with change in a computerized cognitive test battery as its primary clinical endpoint. Because the registry reports group averages and confidence intervals but does not clearly state whether the primary comparison was statistically significant, the result remains unclear rather than demonstrating a confirmed benefit.
