Objectives: Solanezumab is a humanized anti-amyloid β monoclonal antibody being developed as a passive immunization treatment to slow the progression of Alzheimer disease (AD). Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability after a single dose of solanezumab were compared between Japanese and white patients with AD.; Methods: Japanese and white patients with mild to moderate AD […]

Objectives: To assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of 12 weekly infusions of solanezumab, an anti-β-amyloid (Aβ) antibody, in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Cognitive measures were also obtained.; Methods: In this phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 52 patients with Alzheimer’s disease received placebo or antibody (100 mg every 4 weeks, 100 […]

Combined analysis of the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarkers amyloid-β(1-42) (Aβ(1-42)), total tau (T-tau), and hyperphosphorylated tau (P-tau(181P)) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reduces the uncertainty associated with clinical dementia diagnosis. The present study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the CSF biomarker concentrations obtained with a multi-analyte Luminex assay (INNO-BIA AlzBio3) in comparison to single-analyte ELISA tests […]
