21 Three clinical trials, one open-label and uncontrolled, 22 one open-label and placebo controlled, 23 and one double-blind and placebo controlled, 24 investigated a multi-nutrient formulation containing NAC 1200 mg per day (other nutrients: folate, vitamin B12, alpha-tocopherol, S-adenosyl methionine and acetyl-L-carnitine) for 312 months in patients with Alzheimers disease, and found significant benefits in Dementia Rating Scale and clock-drawing tests as well as in assessments by caregivers in those receiving the multi-nutrient supplement versus placebo or versus baseline
In addition, risk assessment, technical challenges and a proposed plan for Phase II will be delivered
