When results may show

When change was measured
The primary PSP and daily-living outcomes did not improve versus placebo at 52 weeks.
When to assess
52 weeks
Conditions and limitations
313 adults with progressive supranuclear palsy. A negative condition-specific trial is not an effective cognitive-enhancement protocol. The nasal study formulation cannot define injected-vial dosing.
When to stop
The measured study window is not a validated personal quit rule. Do not increase or prolong exposure because an expected result is absent; severe or persistent reactions need prompt clinical review.

Research timing is descriptive, not a promise or personal instruction. A severe or persistent reaction needs prompt clinical review. This is not medical advice.

Modelled level — twice a day

1× is the peak after a single dose.

Steady-state peak
1.00× single dose

Read off the modelled curve, not an even-interval formula

Time to steady state
5hours

About five half-lives

Administrations
14/ week
