An experimental drug just showed it can help slow Alzheimer's, offering new hope for patients and a major boost to pharma giant Eli Lilly
, which included 1,182 participants, slowed their rate of decline by 35% over 18 months. Lilly said it planned to submit the results for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
"This does surpass what we've seen in the field to date," Brooks added."Less progression means more time for patients."In the trial, nearly half of patients who got donanemab saw no worsening of their Alzheimer's symptoms after a year of treatment, while 71% of patients who got the placebo saw their disease advance.
Patients and their physicians will have to weigh the drug's benefits against some serious side effects. Taking the drug can lead to cases of swelling or other abnormalities in the brain, the trial found. While most cases aren't serious, Lilly said at least two deaths were linked to these side effects.
