A generic drug used widely to treat swelling associated with hypertension and heart failure showed hints in early research that it may also prevent the devastating brain damage of Alzheimer’s disease, a surprising twist that suggests scientists have a lot more to learn about the root cause of the neurodegenerative condition.

Alpha Cognition Inc., a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing novel therapies with the potential to transform the lives of people with debilitating neurodegenerative disorders, today announced the formation of a Scientific Advisory Board comprised of industry leaders in neurology and psychiatry, chaired by James E. Galvin, MD, MPH.

Optimistic about the drug’s efficacy, the company has initiated its submission for accelerated FDA approval.

Approval of aducanumab will herald a new era in Alzheimer’s disease care and research.

The Food and Drug Administration’s controversial June 7 approval of aducanumab (Aduhelm) means that for the first time in 18 years, Alzheimer’s patients have a new treatment option.

The Food and Drug Administration’s approval of Biogen and Eisai’s anti-amyloid antibody aducanumab on June 7 left many questions unanswered, including how to use the drug in clinical practice.

A panel of experts has crafted guidance for clinical use of Aduhelm (aducanumab), the first targeted treatment for Alzheimer’s disease recently granted accelerated approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Not all physicians who treat Alzheimer's disease will prescribe the new Alzheimer's drug aducanumab (Aduhelm) -- major hospital systems like the Cleveland Clinic and Mount Sinai in New York City, for example, won't administer the controversial treatment -- but those who will offer the drug need more information about how to use it, a panel of neuroscientists said.

Appropriate use recommendations for the newly approved Alzheimer disease treatment, aducanumab (Aduhelm; Biogen, Cambridge, MA) have been published in The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease (JPAD).

A group of six leading Alzheimer’s experts have convened to make the first recommendations for the appropriate use of aducanumab (Aduhelm, Biogen/Eisai), a newly approved treatment for early Alzheimer’s disease.

Just a month after it gave the new Alzheimer's drug aducanumab (Aduhelm) the green light, the FDA decided to change the label.

In a watershed moment for the field, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration yesterday approved the first Alzheimer’s treatment that tackles the underlying disease pathology.
