Gibson<\/a>, who will also be a leader of the upcoming clinical trial, suggested that reduction in glucose metabolism is due to a decline in thiamine-dependent processes. Using multiple experimental models, he and others have shown that increasing thiamine to very high levels via benfotiamine was protective against Alzheimer\u2019s-like symptoms. Dr. Gibson noted, \u201cI am particularly excited about this trial because it will determine how relevant these decades of research are to the treatment of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.

Dr. Luchsinger stated \u201cI have been conducting research to understand the metabolic contributions to AD for 20 years and believes that understanding the role of thiamine in AD is an important step in this field.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEnrolling roughly 400 patients in up to 50 US-based clinical trial sites, with study coordination by the ADCS, will support the new study to be among the first to select patients and follow progression over 18 months, using several measures, including cognitive tests and blood markers that signal AD and MCI status and progression. The trial will provide a larger and more robust evaluation of benfotiamine\u2019s potential use in treating AD by following cognitive measures as well as a number of blood markers that reflect the brain\u2019s glucose use, neuron loss, inflammation, and even aspects of brain pathology. These promising blood markers to track AD progression have themselves been under investigation for many years and represent the cumulative work of researchers across the globe.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAdditional academic institutions partnering with BNI to support this trial include the University of Gothenberg (Gothenberg, Sweden), the University of Cambridge (Cambridge, United Kingdom) and Georgetown University (Washington, DC).
