Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

High Dose Citicoline

At visit 1 and again at visit 2, participants assigned to the experimental arm will receive a 14-day supply of 500 mg of citicoline, of which they will be instructed to take 500 mg daily. This will be done in a double-blind, randomized fashion.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Citicoline

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants randomly assigned to the experimental group, who, in addition to the research staff will be blind to such assignment, will be instructed to orally administer 500 mg or 250 mg daily citicoline. These participants will receive a 14-day supply of citicoline at visit 1 and again at visit 2, making for a 28-day administration period.

Low Dose Citicoline

At visit 1 and again at visit 2, participants assigned to the experimental arm will receive a 14-day supply of 250 mg of citicoline, of which they will be instructed to take 250 mg daily. This will be done in a double-blind, randomized fashion.

Placebo

At visit 1 and again at visit 2, participants assigned to the placebo group will be given 14-day supplies of placebo to be taken daily throughout the study period. This will be done in a double-blind, randomized fashion.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Intervention Type OTHER

Microcrystalline Cellulose will be the placebo administered to participants randomly assigned to the placebo arm. Microcrystalline Cellulose will serve as the placebo for Citicoline and will be orally administered daily in 470 mg doses.
