Panelists discuss how emerging therapeutic targets, including amyloid-beta plaques, tau protein aggregation, inflammation modulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, offer promising approaches for disease-modifying treatments in early Alzheimer's disease.

Panelists discuss how recent advances in Alzheimer’s disease, including amyloid-targeting therapies like lecanemab and donanemab, along with the growing role of blood-based biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring, are transforming treatment paradigms, enabling disease modification and personalized care while improving accessibility and reducing barriers to diagnosis.

Panelists discuss how the TRAILBLAZER-ALZ-2 trial demonstrates that donanemab significantly reduces amyloid plaques and slows cognitive and functional decline in early Alzheimer’s disease, with a manageable safety profile and the potential for faster plaque removal compared to other amyloid-targeting therapies.
