And 1 in 3 adults ages 65 and older dies with it or another form of dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Leqembi has been shown to successfully reduce amyloid plaques in the brain.
Aducanumab, sold under the brand name Aduhelm, is a monoclonal antibody designed to treat Alzheimer's disease. [2] [3] It is a monoclonal antibody [3] [2] that targets aggregated forms (plaque) [4] [5] of amyloid beta (Aβ) found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease to reduce its buildup.
BLAZE was a phase II study that also concluded in 2014 and evaluated the effects of crenezumab in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's Disease, however its primary endpoint was changes in brain amyloid load, with secondary endpoints of changes in other biomarkers, cognition, global function, and activities of daily living.

J147 is an experimental drug with reported effects against both Alzheimer's disease and ageing in mouse models of accelerated aging. [1] [2] [3] [4]The approach that lead to development of the J147 drug was to screen candidate molecules for anti-aging effects, instead of targeting the amyloid plaques.
