Alzheimer’s Disease | Unmet Need | Mild to Moderate | US/EU | 2016
The need for improved AD therapeutics is considerable; current treatment options are limited, and none can cease or even delay the inexorable cognitive and functional decline caused by the disease. Mild to moderate AD is a key area of focus and commercial opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry: early-stage AD patients are the prime targets for disease-modifying interventions—the Holy Grail in AD drug development—and are also candidates for improved symptomatic options, which hinge on maximizing the function of existing neurons. New entrants that can safely deliver therapeutic gains over current mainstays are sought after by physicians, patients and their families, and healthcare systems that face a rapidly expanding AD population.
