GlaxoSmithKline ( (GB:GSK) ) just unveiled an announcement.

While the trial showed a significant effect on plasma progranulin concentrations, it did not demonstrate clinical benefits in slowing disease progression, leading to the discontinuation of further studies. Despite this setback, GSK remains committed to exploring the data for future research opportunities in neurodegeneration.
