VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lui Franciosi is pleased to announce that Franciosi Consulting Ltd. will be reviewing and monitoring the safety and efficacy of the new dementia treatment - aducanumab. U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) recently approved this medication last June for use in Alzheimer’s disease. However, there has been controversy due to its clinical studies being limited to patient populations who had mild forms of this disease. It was originally approved for broad indications of dementia. Lui Franciosi states, “This drug binds specifically to aggregated forms or “plaques” of a protein called beta-amyloid, which is the major driver of Alzheimer’s disease. There are other similar drugs being developed, but unfortunately, this whole area of drug development is fraught with problems. It is difficult to attract or retain qualified participants in ongoing studies. This slows progress and may produce misleading results.” This assessment will be an ongoing literature review to better understand if the purported benefits of this drug do actually exist and whether there are any new untoward adverse events being reported. According to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, there will likely be more than one million Canadians living with dementia over the next 10 years. There is a serious need for new therapies to help address this growing problem.
