Learn about 2025’s newly approved or potential Alzheimer’s drugs. These include Leqembi, Kisunla, Remternetug, Semaglutide, Trontinemab and Bepranemab.
Leqembi and Kisunla are the new Alzheimer’s immunotherapies. A loss of brain volume associated with these immunotherapies may be caused by the removal of amyloid plaques, rather than the loss of neurons or brain tissue. A new study sheds light on what’s going on.
Europe originally said Lecanemab (Brand-name Leqembi) was too risky to approve. Now they are recommending marketing it. Why the change of heart?
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended approving Leqembi® (generic lecanemab) for Alzheimer’s. Originally skeptics, learn how the “Clarity AD” trial helped change their mind.
Leqembi is an FDA-Approved Alzheimer’s treatment. Hospital infusions take an hour each. 2025 is looking to see a new 15-second autoinjector version. For some, it should even work at home.
Why are some of the new anti-Alzheimer’s antibodies better than others? With the FDA’s approval of Lecanemab and Donanemab, it’s worth staying on top of this topic’s latest research.
The 2 newest Alzheimer’s drugs, Leqembi (lecanemab) and Kisunla (donanemab) show promise, but many questions remain. Here are the three next ones.
Right now, there are two FDA approved drugs to treat Alzheimer’s itself. Find out why Remternetug may soon get approval as a third, even better treatment.
Kisunla, the newest Alzheimer’s drug, is rapidly gaining acceptance around the world. Learn what it does and how to get it.
How do the new drugs Leqembi and Kisunla fight Alzheimer’s? Surprisingly, increases in amyloid-beta protein levels can explain the slowing of Alzheimer’s at least as well as the reduction in amyloid plaques.
When a doctor says a person has dementia, what does that mean? What do you do, say and ask?
Learn about ‘personalized music for dementia’ and its powerful effect on Alzheimer’s. See the Director of the hit film, ‘Alive Inside’, on the dementia-impact of music.
Don’t put that controller down just yet. Playing three-dimensional video games – besides being lots of fun – can boost the formation of memories, according to University of California neurobiologists.
Researchers say it takes a dozen “intervention sessions” to improve cognition in those at risk for Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
FDA-approved Sargramostim, a normal human protein, improved memory and cognition in Alzheimer’s patients in a Phase II clinical trial. The drug is safe and well-tolerated, and has been used for other disorders for 30 years.
This carpool sing-a-long between a father with dementia and his son went viral. $50,000 in donations poured into the Alzheimer’s Society. Enjoy their great music. Sing along if you can!
