Immunohistochemical evaluation of a trial of gantenerumab or solanezumab in dominantly inherited Alzheimer disease
Clinical trials of anti-amyloid-β (Aβ) monoclonal antibodies in Alzheimer disease (AD) infer target engagement from Aβ positron emission tomography (PET) and/or fluid biomarkers such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ42/40. However, these biomarkers measure brain Aβ deposits indirectly and/or incompletely. In contrast, neuropathologic assessments allow direct investigation of treatment effects on brain Aβ deposits-and on potentially…
