Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

BnH-015B is a small molecule compound that targets the GluN2B binding site on NMDA receptors and positively modulates. BnH-015B has shown, through nonclinical trials, to improve symptoms of cognitive decline by regulating the BDNF/TRKβ and microglia-mediated IL-33/OPN signaling pathways; therefore, it is expected to be a promising new drug that can significantly improve symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease, including memory loss.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Given that existing treatments for Alzheimer's disease only temporarily alleviate symptoms or delay cognitive decline, there is an urgent need for new therapeutic options. Based on the aforementioned safety and efficacy study results, BnH Research Co., Ltd. intends to conduct this phase 1 clinical trial as the first-in-human study of BnH-015B to evaluate its safety and tolerability.
