Hmm, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylene_blue#Alzheimer%27s :

A Phase 3 clinical trial of LMTM (TauRx0237 or LMT-X), a derivative of methylene blue, failed to show any benefit against cognitive or functional decline in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Disease progression for both the drug and the placebo were practically identical.

That was news about the 2016 trial. It did significantly better as a monotherapy in the latest trial in 2017[1].
