BEIJING, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- A home-grown drug for treating Alzheimer's disease has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration to hit the market, according to its developers Saturday.

A total of 1,199 persons participated in the three-phase clinical trials. The 36-week-long Phase 3 clinical study showed that the drug can improved cognition in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease, the developers said.
