A Prospective Comparative Study Of Monoclonal Antibodies For The Treatment Of Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with brain deposition of extracellular amyloid and intracellular tau. It causes progressive cognitive impairment, especially memory, and is invariably fatal. Currently, there is no effective treatment for AD. A new and promising method involves the use of anti-amyloid-beta monoclonal antibodies (anti-amyloid mAbs) to reduce amyloid accumulation in brain. There are currently two anti-amyloid mABs, aducanumab and lecanemab, approved by the FDA under FDA's "accelerated approval" pathway. However, so far there is only a single pha…
