Mandara Biopharma Inc. officially launched their Phase 2/3 clinical trial in Australia for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
BOULDER, CO, UNITED STATES, August 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Mandara Biopharma Inc., a privately held U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company focused on novel therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, officially launched their Phase 2/3 clinical trial in Australia for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Agitation is one of the most challenging and burdensome symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s disease, placing significant emotional, physical, and financial strain on caregivers, long-term care facilities, and healthcare systems. Agitation is common in Alzheimer’s disease, with approximately 60% of individuals with mild cognitive impairment and 76% of patients with Alzheimer’s dementia experiencing symptoms.1 In institutional settings, agitation is a major driver of increased costs, staff workload, and diminished quality of life.
“Launching the FDA approved clinical trial protocol in Australia is an important milestone for Mandara as we advance a potential new therapeutic option for one of the most difficult aspects of caring for patients with Alzheimer’s disease,” said David Hurley, CEO of Mandara Biopharma. “Our goal is to bring forward a rigorously studied, FDA-approved treatment that can meaningfully improve outcomes for patients, caregivers, and care facilities.”
