Results of Ladostigil Trial Published
The Phase 2 study missed its primary endpoint. While fewer developed dementia in the treatment group, the effect was not statistically significant. People on drug had less brain atrophy than those on placebo.

The Phase 2 study missed its primary endpoint. While fewer developed dementia in the treatment group, the effect was not statistically significant. People on drug had less brain atrophy than those on placebo.
Biogen and Eisai announced the discontinuation of the Phase 3 program. Elenbecestat was the only remaining BACE inhibitor being tested for AD.
In induced human microglia, the E4 allele profoundly affected their health and cellular responses, while familial Alzheimer’s mutations had little effect.
The study halted early when the primary endpoint was met, but an unusual trial design and lack of detailed data leave questions unanswered.
In animal models and patient-derived neurons, terazosin elevated ATP and warded off neurodegeneration. Men who take the drug to control prostate hyperplasia are less likely to get PD, or have milder symptoms.
In neurons derived from FTD patients, morphological changes at the base of the axon render them hyperexcitable.
Spewed by stressed microglia, fragments of the organelles provoke mitochondrial fission in other cells, causing astrogliosis and neuronal loss.
The G2019S variant that boosts Parkinson’s risk helps mice survive infection, but raises α-synuclein in the brain and increases neuronal death.
Hypometabolism in the frontal cortex and in the anterior default mode network distinguish the behavioral variant of AD from typical AD.
$73 million to transform big data into open-access targets and drugs for testing in clinical trials.
Negative findings for AVP-786 belie positive findings from a separate Phase 3 trial announced earlier this year.
From more than 45,000 MRI scans, a typical pattern of brain aging emerges. Brains “age” faster in people who have a neurological disorder.
A new study argues that the duration of a person’s amyloid positivity predicts whether they’ll develop tau accumulation and cognitive decline.
The circular transcripts correlate with AD pathology and dementia severity, suggesting potential roles in pathogenesis or as biomarkers.
Overexpressing neuronal A2A receptors stoked C1q in microglia, damaging synapses and memory.
