In brief: Alzheimer’s drug fails late-stage test
TRENTON, N.J. – An experimental Alzheimer’s treatment has failed to slow the disease in one late-stage study.
Pfizer, which is testing bapineuzumab with partner Johnson & Johnson, said the injected drug didn’t slow mental or functional decline in patients with mild or moderate Alzheimer’s disease. The study included about 1,100 patients who carry a gene called ApoE4, which gives people a higher risk of developing the memory-robbing disorder.
About half the population does not carry that gene, however, and studies in patients without the gene continue.
