“I see Alzheimer's patients in my clinic every week and I wish I had an effective treatment to offer them. Existing approved drugs offer some benefit for some patients, but there remains a high unmet need for more effective treatments. Sadly, anti-amyloid drugs do not offer this and bring additional risks.”
What Edo Richard has said
“I would tell them, I think you will probably not benefit from these drugs and they're burdensome for you and your family. I think it's extremely important that we're honest to our patients about what they can expect, I'm always wary to avoid giving people false hope.”
