After years of building an online registry, designing selection algorithms, and getting sites up and running, COVID-19 nearly derailed this trial-ready cohort once again. Now, the first participants have reached the final queue.
Remote assessments on a smartphone closely matched tests taken in the clinic. They also may detect slip-ups in learning—an earlier cognitive deficit that arises in preclinical AD.
BANish Aβ? BAN2401 Antibody Makes Its Move in Phase 3 Program BAN2401 Forges AHEAD into Phase 3, Preclinical AD TRC-PAD Funnel Finally Touches Down Learning Troubles Spied by Smartphone Track with Biomarkers In Phase 2 Trial, Neflamapimod Aids Cognition ...
New synaptic profiling and imaging techniques are enabling scientists to zero in on synaptic proteins, including phospho-tau, that make the difference between clinical Alzheimer’s and resilience.
New genetic variants emerged by harmonizing whole-exome-sequencing data across continents, and by using imputation to plumb the depths of existing GWAS. One variant encodes a microglial phospholipid transporter.
Plaque-busting antibodies reset the time course of amyloid accumulation, but so far provide only hints of a clinical benefit in mild AD. Good news: once gone, plaque stays gone for a while.
