Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Understanding
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD): Overview
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a slowly progressive brain disease that begins many years before symptoms emerge. It is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for an estimated 60% to 80% of cases. The hallmark pathologies of Alzheimer’s disease are the accumulation of the protein fragment beta_amyloid (plaques) outside neurons in the brain and twisted strands of the protein tau (tangles) inside neurons. These changes are accompanied by the death of neurons and damage to brain tissue. On the basis of severity, this degenerative disease can be classified as mild, moderate, and severe.

Symptoms
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition therefore the symptoms get worse over time. Memory loss is a key feature, and this tends to be one of the first symptoms to develop. Other symptoms are:
• Cognitive deficits.
• Problems with recognition
• Problems with spatial awareness
• Problems with speaking, reading, or writing
• Later symptoms include impaired communication, disorientation, confusion, poor judgment, behavioral changes and, ultimately, difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking.
• As the disease progresses, neurons in other parts of the brain are damaged or destroyed.


Diagnosis
A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is made based upon a thorough clinical evaluation, a detailed patient history, and a variety of specialized tests. Means of diagnosing AD include clinical diagnosis which is usually made during the mild stage of the disease, Lumbar puncture, and Imaging studies.
Treatment
Treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) includes options that may reduce the symptoms and help improve the quality of life. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved two types of medications ? cholinesterase inhibitors (Aricept, Exelon, Razadyne) and memantine (Namenda) to treat the cognitive symptoms. Other non-pharmacological therapies are also used with the goal of maintaining or improving cognitive function, the ability to perform activities of daily living or overall quality of life.

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Emerging Drugs


  • • BAN2401: Eisai
    BAN2401 is the humanized IgG1 version of the mouse monoclonal antibody mAb158, which selectively binds to large, soluble A_ protofibrils. BAN2401 selectively binds to neutralize and eliminate toxic A_ protofibrils that are thought to be a causative factor for Alzheimer’s Disease. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture and market BAN2401 for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease pursuant to an agreement concluded with BioArctic in December 2007.
    • Gantenerumab: Hoffmann-La Roche
    Gantenerumab is an investigational therapy designed to bind more specifically to aggregated forms of beta-amyloid and remove beta-amyloid plaques. Gantenerumab was originally developed by Chugai Pharmaceuticals, which is now part of Hoffmann-La Roche. This treatment is administered as an injection under the skin, is now being developed by Hoffmann-La Roche in collaboration with MorphoSys.
