Alzamend Neuro announces initiation date of Phase II trial of AL001

Alzamend Neuro (ALZN) announced its plans to initiate a highly anticipated phase II clinical study of AL001 for treatment of patients with BD, which is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2025. This study follows the successful completion of a head coil by Tesla Dynamic Coils BV, a key component of the clinical trial. In collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital as its contract research organization, Alzamend aims to explore the unique properties of AL001 and its effects on lithium delivery in the brain compared to marketed lithium salts. The study could illuminate the path forward in patients with BD by demonstrating AL001’s targeted effectiveness and reduced systemic side effects. Previous studies in mice have shown that AL001 ensures better brain absorption while maintaining lower levels of lithium in the blood, paving the way for safer and more efficient treatments.
