Healthy Seniors and Amyloid Levels study Solanezumab

Alzheimer's disease is believed to begin in the brain a decade before thinking, and memory problems are apparent.  Beta amyloid is a protein that builds up in the brain to cause the worsening symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease.

Solanezumab is a drug that binds soluble amyloid and helps clear this from the brain.  This helps prevent the amyloid from going on to build brain plaques. The hope is this will halt the Alzheimer's disease progression, preserve thinking, and memory skills.  This helps stall the mental decline and maintain greater cognitive function.

The National Institutes of Health and others will monitor amyloid levels and record cognitive test results with study participants.  About half of the 2100 participants will receive 400 milligrams of Solanezumab per IV injection every month for 18 months.

The A4 Study is anti-amyloid treatment in asymptomatic Alzheimer's.  Solanezumab is owned by Eli Lilly and Company.  Participants are healthy seniors age 65 to 85 years of age.  This is an attempt to divert the ingredients needed to assemble the development of Alzheimer's Disease, and stop the manifestation of undesired symptoms like memory loss. 

The staff at Home Care Path hope Solanezumab study produces a favorable results.  Thank you for your effort.
