Where it stands. The trial is measuring thinking and memory skills 2.5 years after diagnosis. It has not reported any results yet.

What this means, and what it doesn't

What it could mean: Someone who fits this picture could ask their care team about it. Over time, work like this may show which plan is easier on thinking.

What it doesn't mean: A trial is a test, not proven care. Taking part is not a promise that it will help you. It is not a promise of a cure.
