A DESEASE MODIFYING DRUG, LECANEMAB, IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

C. H. van Dyck from Yale talked about the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s dementia.

New brain imaging data have revealed that Lecanemab cannot only highly significantly delay memory decline but also improve PET measures of amyloid and tau.
