It’s still early days, and the test was only on 53 people, but a new drug called Trontinemab almost completely eliminated the brain plaques indicative of Alzheimer’s in 91% of them. Wider trials on 1,800 people will take place later this year. Fingers crossed. Alzheimer’s is dreaded by many people; a cure or near-cure would have a major impact.
Roche’s New Alzheimer’s Drug Trontinemab Nearly Eliminates Brain Plaques
as people have mentioned the plaque is correlated with alzheimers and they don’t really know how it relates to the disease. Also medication like this that helps with the plaque also cause brain bleeding. My guess is it might help stop the progression but I don’t think eliminating the plague means the damage done is gone. Who knows though.
