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 i
Simple lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption and stool quality alter gut flora. Research on the microbiome and disease should account for those factors, a study reports.
At CTAD, a Phase 2 open-label extension of this anti- Aβ protofibril antibody posted data as expected, and new Phase 3 trials for people with early and preclinical Alzheimer’s were described.
The anti-Aβ biologic will be put to the test in two stages of preclinical Alzheimer’s, designated by amyloid load. The long-dormant “est” PET tracer, NAV4694, is on board to make sensitive measurements.
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.
Regulators in the U.S. and Europe have certified a mass-spectrometry-based blood test for amyloid-β. Plasma phospho-tau markers are poised to come next.
