A new sort of #Alzheimer’s #drug shows glimmers of promise
The experimental drug lowered tau levels and showed small improvements in memory loss
The compound, called #diranersen and developed by pharma giant #Biogen, reduced tau levels in patients’ cerebrospinal fluid by between 50 and 65 percent as compared with the start of the trial. The drug also seemed to slightly slow people people’s cognitive decline compared with those given a placebo.
