The first new Alzheimer’s treatment in 20 years was granted full FDA approval in early July 2023. Two patients who participated in the clinical trials share personal experiences.
In early trials, the drug was shown to slow cognitive decline by 27%. "I am fully functional — I’m still doing everything I always did." "Alzheimer's kind of rocked our world, and this drug rocked it back a little bit the other way." "Taking this drug is a long-term commitment."
