HERE ARE THE OTHER TWO:
2) A drug to prevent Alzheimer’s before it’s even begun
Research has shown that Alzheimer’s starts years before symptoms even begin to show.
Amyloid beta deposits in the brain slowly accumulate and build up into plaques, leading to symptoms.
A study by the University of Antioquia in Colombia are currently testing an amyloid-related drug on 300 members of an extended family who have a rare genetic mutation that causes early-onset Alzheimer’s.
3) A drug to clear out Alzheimer’s-causing plaque build up
Biogen, an American company, is developing a drug that treats the condition by clearing amyloid deposits in the brain out the way.
They are expected to announce results in 2019 or early 2020.
Several other companies are also following what has come to be known as the “amyloid hypothesis”.
This is great, but new MS drugs can run $80k a year. No one can afford these prices for “biologics.” Unless they can make them cbeap, what’s the point?
