Study of a drug for memory problems after chemotherapy
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a drug called butylphthalide to see if it can help with memory and thinking problems that some people have after finishing chemotherapy. If you have had certain types of chemo and are struggling with your memory, this might be a way to find help.
