Phase 2: testing Psilocybin for Alzheimer's Disease

Background: Normal aging, as well as dementias such as Alzheimer s disease, can cause changes in the brain that affect memory, attention, and thinking. Researchers want to know if regular mental tasks (cognitive training) can improve brain function in older adults.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07721467 · National Institute on Aging (NIA) · enrollment listed as 200

What this phase means

Phase 2: researchers already know a roughly safe dose (from phase 1). This stage asks whether the treatment actually helps the condition, and watches side effects more closely.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.

What the registry says happens

If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Psilocybin, or Cognitive Training. The registry lists allocation as randomized. Background: Normal aging, as well as dementias such as Alzheimer s disease, can cause changes in the brain that affect memory, attention, and thinking.

They plan to enroll about 200 people at Baltimore. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
