Challenges: Alzheimer’s Disease

  • Last drug successfully approved for treatment 2003
  • No treatment to modify the disease course
  • To date trials have been long and expensive
  • High risk/no reward proposition for industry

(1 success for every 34 failures)

  • Limited (but growing!) federal research investment
