Study Summary

This study is a phase 2a, single-center, double-blind and randomized clinical trial that evaluates the safety and efficacy of AR1005 administration in 60 patients with cognitive impairment due to Lewy body disease. The study evaluates whether the administration of AR1005 in patients with cognitive impairment due to Lewy body disease has the effect of improving cognitive function, behavioral psychological symptoms, cognitive fluctuations, movement, brain waves and brain activity.
