Score another one for amyloid immunotherapy. The anti-pyroglutamated amyloid antibody donanemab has posted positive top-line results in the Phase 3 Trailblazer-Alz2 study, according to an Eli Lilly ...
If enhancing memory with light and sound seems futuristic, then welcome to the future. Or so some scientists say. Results from four early stage clinical trials on mild Alzheimer’s disease were ...
Eisai and Biogen yesterday announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 Clarity trial of their anti-amyloid antibody lecanemab. The drug slowed decline on the primary endpoint, CDR-SB, by 27 ...
Will Biogen’s aducanumab become the first drug approved to slow progression of Alzheimer’s disease? Biogen’s licensing application for the biologic ran into headwinds at a U.S. Food and Drug ...
After two years, half of AD patients taking gantenerumab become amyloid-negative. One-third develop ARIA-E, usually without symptoms. Lilly’s N3pG, directed against pyroglutamate Aβ, clears plaques in ...
Lecanemab binds protofibrils more tightly than fibrils, perhaps explaining lower ARIA rate. Use of plasma biomarkers brings down trial screening cost. Lecanemab has been selected for the first amyloid ...
Alzheimer’s researchers have long wished for better mouse models. That is now coming true. Scientists at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, are cranking out numerous lines that express ...
This database is a repository of normal genetic variability, designed to be a tool for researchers who study neurodegenerative disease. It contains whole-exome sequencing results from nearly 500 ...
Part 1 of 2. Click here for Part 2. As Alzheimer’s clinicians across the U.S. started offering a disease-modifying treatment to their patients, uptake at first was slow but is now speeding up. Six ...
Biogen’s hopes for a quick regulatory approval of its anti-Aβ antibody aducanumab may be dimming. An advisory panel convened by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was unimpressed by the evidence ...
The top-line results last September from Eisai’s Phase 3 trial of the anti-amyloid antibody lecanemab galvanized the field, but scientists said they needed to see the data before passing judgement.
