Clinical Trials

A Phase 2 clinical trial is currently recruiting participants to evaluate this intervention across neurodegenerative and cognitive conditions, specifically memory impairment, mild cognitive impairment, and Parkinson's disease. Sponsored by major academic and clinical institutions—including The University of Queensland, Johns Hopkins University, and the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health—the study employs a double-blind, randomized, controlled crossover design. This evaluation seeks to establish whether target pathway modulation can mitigate cognitive decline and functional memory deficits in affected patient populations.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

CA3 (CIL56) potently inhibits YAP1/TEAD transcriptional activity, suppressing downstream gene expression and promoting iron-dependent reactive oxygen species accumulation that induces ferroptosis. By disrupting targeted transcriptional networks and inducing oxidative cell death, this mechanism provides a theoretical basis for therapeutic evaluation in clinical conditions including Parkinson's disease and associated cognitive impairments.
