ALZHEIMER DISEASE

The challenges of anti-tau therapeutics in Alzheimer disease

Nature Reviews Neurology volume 18, pages 577–578 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

A phase II trial of the tau antibody semorinemab indicates that it has no clinical benefit in the earliest stages of Alzheimer disease. The repeated finding that antibody-mediated reductions in protein pathology have limited or no clinical benefit indicates that we need to consider more specific or combined therapeutic targets.
