@casinoshiftmd.bsky.socialWould you take a pill to prevent dementia? I would since sister & mum had Alzheimer's. On #TheDoseCBC this week, the UK's Dr. Ramin Nilforooshan leads a new prevention trial of #trontinemab which quickly clears beta amyloid in the brain. Have a listen.

@pharmaphorum.bsky.socialAn #NHS trust in the #UK has become the first site in #Europe to offer #Roche's experimental drug #trontinemab to patients enrolled in a large-scale #trial to see if it can delay or #prevent #Alzheimersdisease.
@rchady.bsky.socialThe PrevenTRON study in Europe will see if giving #trontinemab to those with elevated levels of p-tau217 can prevent #dementia. Studies found that it cleared amyloid plaques in nine out of 10 people with early #Alzheimers or mild cognitive development.
