uly 22, 2015 -- New results from ongoing clinical trials have fueled hopes for a class of Alzheimer’s drugs that target the buildup of sticky plaque in the brain linked to the disease.
The data, presented Wednesday to a standing-room-only crowd of doctors and patients at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference 2015, suggest -- on paper, at least -- that the drugs may slow the decline of people who are treated early in the course of the disease.
