Gantenerumab helps eliminate one of the neurological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s, called amyloid plaques. For some participants, gantenerumab reduced their risk of developing the disease by more ...

An early look at the phase 1b/2a data showed amyloid levels fell below a disease threshold in 81% of patients after 28 weeks. The Swiss drugmaker has identified the speed at which amyloid is ...

For the first time, scientists say, they have evidence that using a biologic drug to remove sticky beta amyloid plaques from the brains of people destined to develop Alzheimer’s dementia can ...

The findings suggest -- for the first time in a clinical trial -- that early treatment to remove amyloid plaques from the brain many years before symptoms arise can delay the onset of Alzheimer's ...

and Joanne Knight Distinguished Professor of Neurology at WashU Medicine, is the study director of an international clinical trial that finds an anti-amyloid drug can delay the onset of cognitive ...

McDade said this study has the longest-running data for any patients who started amyloid-lowering biologics while they were still free of symptoms. “We think that there’s a delay in the ...

“Today’s approval of WAINZUA in Europe offers adults with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis with polyneuropathy ... production and improves neuropathy impairment and quality ...

She was also areflexic. Electromyography confirmed severe sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy. Right sural nerve and rectal biopsies confirmed amyloidosis on Congo red staining. Laboratory studies ...

For the study, researchers recruited 73 people with rare and inherited genetic mutations that cause the overproduction of a protein called amyloid in the brain. In case you’re not familiar ...

Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine led the study, which aimed to test whether an experimental anti-amyloid drug called gantenerumab could help people with an inherited ...

Diabetic neuropathy refers to nerve damage that develops gradually and is caused by long-term high blood sugar levels. While there’s no cure, managing blood sugar levels can slow its progression ...
