UK trial to test diabetes and ADHD drugs as possible Alzheimer's treatments

A UK clinical trial called AD-SMART will test multiple drugs at once on Alzheimer's patients, starting with two repurposed medicines used for type 2 diabetes and ADHD. Scientists hope the approach could cut years from the search for new treatments. The study will check whether the drugs ease memory and thinking problems. Angela Bucksey, 67, is the first participant.
