A potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease relies on 40 Hz light or sound to entrain gamma rhythms in the brain. This intervention, pioneered by Li-Huei Tsai and colleagues at Massachusetts ...

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 ...

Buoyed by data crediting amyloid removal with ever-so-slightly slowed cognitive decline, many scientists are now optimistic about the prospects for anti-amyloid immunotherapy. Four “-mabs”—of the ...

The slight slowing of cognitive decline achieved by Leqembi and perhaps by Aduhelm has revived debate around how much change is needed to be “clinically meaningful.” Two recent papers—one a report ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
