The Development of Pharmacological Therapies for Alzheimer ’s Disease

AbstractAlzheimer ’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that currently has no cure. The aged population is growing globally, creating an urgent need for more promising therapies for this debilitating disease. Much effort has been made in recent decades, and the field is highly dynamic, with nu merous trials. The main focus of these trials includes disease modification and symptomatic treatment. Some have shown beneficial outcomes, while others have shown no significant benefits. Here, we cover the outcome of recently published AD clinical trials, as well as the mechanism of action of thes e therapeutical agents, to re-think drug development strategies and directions for future studies.
