Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
This antibody is being investigated as a neuroprotector for patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) [3-4]. The Jan 23 (2014) issue of the New England Journal of Medicine carries an article by Doody et al. reporting the results of two phase 3 clinical trials of solanezumab in patients with mild-moderate AD. In these trials solanezumab failed to cause any change in patients' levels of cognition or functional ability [1]. It has been suggested that Aβ binding drugs such as solanezumab (and bapineuzumab) may be more useful as preventative treatments for patients at risk of developing AD with the aim of preventing Aβ plaque formation, as treatment post-plaque formation appears to be too late. Phase 3 trial NCT01900665 is under way focussing on patients with mild AD, and Phase 3 NCT02760602 is focussing on prodromal patients, where it is hoped there is greater potential to show efficacy. |
