From todays Times
Millions of Alzheimer’s patients have been given hope of a cure after a drug was proven to slow the disease for the first time.
Trial results confirmed that lecanemab — delivered as a fortnightly intravenous drip — slowed memory decline by 27 per cent over 18 months.
The new treatment reverses pathological changes in the brain, finding and removing a toxic protein called amyloid that builds up in people with Alzheimer’s disease. The “momentous and historic” study was presented last night at a packed conference of the world’s leading scientists and doctors in San Francisco. Experts said that it was the biggest breakthrough in a generation, marking the “beginning of the end” of Alzheimer’s and offering “real optimism that dementia can be beaten and one day even cured ”.
Sadly this comes too late for many of our loved ones, but if only……?
