Treatments
The Stanford Health Care Center for Memory Disorders is encouraged that there is a new treatment option for certain patients with Alzheimer’s disease. On January 6, 2023, the FDA granted accelerated approval for lecanemab (LeqembiTM).
How is Alzheimer's disease treated?
There isn't a cure yet for Alzheimer's disease. But there are things that can be done to maintain quality of life.
The doctor, family, and the loved one can work together to make a care plan. Care plans may include any of the following:
- Medicines. These may slow down symptoms for a while and make the disease easier to live with. These medicines may not work for everyone or have a big effect. But most experts think they're worth a try.
- Regular doctor visits to check the person's response to medicine, look for new problems, see how symptoms are changing, and provide continuing education to the family.
- Treating other health conditions, such as depression or hearing and vision loss.
- Planning how the person can be as independent as possible and manage his or her own life for as long as possible.
Clinical Trials
Open trials refer to studies currently recruiting participants or that may recruit participants in the near future. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but similar studies may open in the future.
