An early-generation Alzheimer's drug from Eli Lilly and Co failed to slow cognitive decline in patients treated before they showed symptoms, but the large trial found a strong link between levels of brain plaques and disease progression, the company said on Wednesday.
Although Lilly halted development of solanezumab, it supported, along with the National Institute on Aging and others, the randomized clinical trial of the drug in over 1,100 asymptomatic Alzheimer's patients.
"Even at this preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease, we are going to have to be more aggressive with amyloid." said Dr. Reisa Sperling, a neurologist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital, who led the study. "We need to get people's amyloid lower, very fast, and keep it there."
