“The studies of the past were a necessary predicate for the future of Alzheimer’s medicine,” said Dr. Rachelle Doody, professor of neurology at Baylor College of Medicine and reviewer of the analysis. “We have learned a great deal about trials methodologies and disease targets from past studies. While the analysis shows a promising future, it is also a sobering wakeup call reminding us of the importance of health system readiness to prevent and combat this crushing disease.”
For more information, the pipeline analysis will be discussed in depth during a future Alzheimer’s Talks Teleconference on April 11 from 4-5 pm (EST). The discussion, which will be live streamed, will include remarks from Vradenburg, Morgan and study lead and RA2 director Drew Holzapfel. Visit the Alzheimer’s Talks page for more information.

UsAgainstAlzheimer’s (UsA2) is an innovative non-profit organization demanding – and delivering – a solution to Alzheimer’s. Driven by the suffering of millions of families, UsAgainstAlzheimer’s presses for greater urgency from government, industry and the scientific community in the quest for an Alzheimer's cure – accomplishing this through effective leadership, collaborative advocacy, and strategic investments.
Founded in 2010, UsAgainstAlzheimer’s has worked across sectors to: (1) secure the national goal of preventing and effectively treating Alzheimer’s by 2025 and help secure nearly $500 million in additional public funding for Alzheimer’s research over the past few years; (2) drive global efforts that resulted in the leaders of the world’s most powerful nations, the G7 group, to embrace a similar 2025 goal and to call for greater levels of research investment and collaboration; and (3) forge industry commitments to improve efficiencies for an expedited drug discovery and approval process.
ResearchersAgainstAlzheimer’s (RA2) is a network of more than 400 Alzheimer’s researchers established by UsAgainstAlzheimer’s to advocate for federal research funding and policy reform in order to stop Alzheimer’s disease. RA2 believes that an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is within reach if government, industry and citizens are willing to commit the resources and institute the policy changes that are necessary.
