If the setback of the Expedition 3 study of solanezumab set their mood in the beginning, attendees at the 2016 Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease conference soon bucked up and voiced renewed determination to tackle this illness. Many took positive secondary outcomes and trends in this Phase 3 trial as a sign that this or more potent anti-amyloid drugs given earlier will make a bigger dent in the disease process. Short of major surprises, the meeting reaffirmed the sense that AD will only be slowed by deploying potent drugs at the right target (probably more than one), with the right dose, and certainly at the right time.
