Roche Holding AG said Monday that Phase 3 Graduate studies of
gantenerumab, for treatment of early Alzheimer's disease, failed to
meet its primary endpoints.
The Swiss pharma company said the drug failed to slow patients'
clinical decline and that the drug's removal of beta-amyloid, a
protein that builds up to make plaques in the brains of people with
Alzheimer's disease, was lower than expected.
The company said it would keep working on novel diagnostics and
treatments for Alzheimer's and said it would present at the
Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease Conference.
