Scandibio, whose board includes prominent Swedish scientists such as Mathias Uhlén and Henrik Zetterberg, has developed a drug candidate now being clinically tested in Alzheimer’s patients with mild, moderate, and severe symptoms. The treatment aims to boost the mitochondria—the cells’ powerhouses—in the brain, thereby improving memory. A Phase III trial has begun in Turkey with the goal of enrolling 600 patients.
