An experimental treatment for Alzheimer's Disease originally developed 5 years ago by Arcadia Dr. William K. Summers has been recommended to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The drug is called THA.
Families of 13 Alzheimer's disease patients filed a class action law suit to order the government to approve the drug THA. Dr. William Summers of Arcadia was the first to report that THA was effective against Alzheimer's disease 5 years ago.
The Food and Drug Administration cleared the way Monday for expanded testing of the drug THA, a promising drug to treat Alzheimer's Disease. Arcadia resident Dr. William Summers first reported that THA was beneficial to Alzheimer's patients in 1986 in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine.
