Clinical immunologic approaches for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease

Solomon, Beka·2007·Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs

Abstract

Recent clinical trials of active vaccination against beta-amyloid (Abeta) have succeeded in clearing Abeta plaques; however, further understanding of immunization with regards to inflammation and other hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease pathology is required. Antibodies generated with this first-generation vaccine may not have had the desired therapeutic properties or targeted the 'correct' mechanism, but they have opened the way for new clinical approaches, which are now under consideration. Passive administration of monoclonal antibodies directed to various regions of Abeta peptide and/or administration of immunoconjugates of only small fragments of the N-terminal region may lead to the development of an improved second generation of Abeta vaccines. Amyloid immunotherapy offers genuine opportunities for disease treatment; however, such an approach towards treating and preventing Alzheimer's disease patients requires careful antigen and antibody selection to maximize efficacy and minimize adverse events.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Experimental therapies such as Aβ immunotherapy reduce cerebral Aβ and improve behavior in transgenic mouse models of AD-like cerebral β-amyloidosis.

    “Experimental therapies, such as Aβ immunotherapy [8, 53, 138, 164, 178], were not only shown to reduce cerebral Aβ, but even more importantly, to improve behavior in transgenic mouse models of AD-like cerebral β-amyloidosis.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
