The HBO special was great, and it showed why clinical studies are so important. Current Alzheimer’s therapies treat the symptoms associated with the disease, not the disease itself. There is a new study that explores if Bapineuzumab (Bapi), an investigational drug mentioned in the HBO special, can help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Patients and families affected by Alzheimer’s can visit http://www.icarastudy.com to see if they might be eligible to enroll.
