  1. Impacts of FDA approval and Medicare restriction on antiamyloid therapies for Alzheimer's disease: patient outcomes, healthcare costs, and drug development

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Lancet regional health. Americas 2023-03-01 Treatments

    In 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval to aducanumab, an antiamyloid antibody for early-stage Alzheimer's disease, despite a lack of clear clinical evidence demonstrating the drug's cognitive benefits.

  2. The Alzheimer's disease drug development landscape

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2021-11-11 Treatments

    The field has made significant progress over the last 15 years.

  3. Impact of amyloid imaging on drug development in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Nuclear medicine and biology 2007-09-04 Treatments

    Imaging agents capable of assessing amyloid-beta (Abeta) content in vivo in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects likely will be important as diagnostic agents to detect Abeta plaques in the brain as well as to help test the amyloid cascade hypothesis of AD and as an aid to assess the efficacy of anti-amyloid therapeutics currently under development and in clinical trials.
