Treatment Options
There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease. However, Leqembi, a biologic, is an FDA-approved disease-modifying medication meant to treat the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Other medications are used to lessen symptoms but ultimately will not slow the progression of the disease.
Some medications and therapies used to temporarily improve symptoms include acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors, memantine, antipsychotics, antidepressants, and cognitive stimulation therapy. Researchers are dedicating resources into developing more disease-modifying biologic therapies such as aduhelm and lecanemab.

What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
DISEASE OVERVIEW
Alzheimer’s disease was discovered in 1906 by Dr. Alois Alzheimer when he examined the brain of a woman who appeared to have died from a mental illness that caused memory issues and erratic behavior. Upon examining this patient’s brain, he found abnormal lumps throughout the brain’s tissues and tangled bundles of fiber. These hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease are now referred to as amyloid plaques and tau tangles, which are believed to inhibit the connections between neurons in the brain.
As the ability for nerves to connect in the brain worsens, memory problems and other cognitive deficits begin to present in those afflicted with the disease, making it the 7th leading cause of death in the United States.
