Progress in pharmacotherapy for Alzheimer's disease

Abstract:

In recent years，with the development of disease-modifying therapies（DMT） such as monoclonal antibodies against amyloid-beta protein（Aβ），drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease（AD） has entered a new era. Currently，two antibodies targeting Aβ—aducanumab and lecanemab—have been approved for clinical use，attracting widespread attention worldwide. Meanwhile，remarkable progress has also been made in the development of drugs against non-Aβ and non-tau targets. This review highlights the latest advances in the development and application of drugs for AD that have been clinically approved or in clinical trials.
