Real World Prescribing: Use of Anti-Amyloid Antibodies in Clinical Practice

Anti-amyloid antibody therapy is now available for clinical use in MCI due to Alzheimer's disease and mild Alzheimer's dementia. This symposium will focus on clinical aspects of screening, prescribing and safety monitoring. The first talk will address patient eligibility and therapy implementation. The speaker will discuss disease staging and how to recognize neuroimaging abnormalities and concomitant medications that would exclude patient from eligibility. The speaker will explore use of CSF or amyloid PET to confirm amyloid pathology and use of ApoE genotyping to assess ARIA risk.
