At the Cutting Edge of Alzheimer’s Research with Prof Jonathan Schott
Q: What is the potential impact of new therapies on the treatment landscape and NHS access?
Two main drugs that clear amyloid show promise as disease-modifying therapies, but are expensive and not yet widely available on the NHS; these therapies could change the prognosis if accessibility and cost-effectiveness are addressed, and they spur development of additional treatments and testing infrastructure.
At the Cutting Edge of Alzheimer’s Research with Prof Jonathan Schott
Q: How close are we to having reliable, accessible blood tests for dementia, and what would that mean for patient care?
Blood tests for detecting Alzheimer's-related proteins are now reality in some places and are being translated into routine clinical labs. They could enable earlier and more accurate diagnoses, expand access to testing beyond specialist centers, and improve eligibility for trials and treatments.
