From the research and development of symptomatic breakthrough treatment in the 1980s and 1990s, to our current, industry-leading, antibody developments, Eisai has long been at the forefront of Alzheimer's research. Our approach is marked by a drive to identify the root cause and stage of each person's disease so that we may provide the right intervention - including prevention - for the right person, at the right time.

Evolving Insights from Thought Leaders on Existing Knowledge and Gaps of the Aβ Pathway
The presence of amyloid-β (Aβ), a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), continues to show a strong scientific rationale as a leading therapeutic target as one of the earliest alterations in the AD continuum. Thus, emphasizing the Aβ pathway may be significant to move towards the next-generation clinical care pathway. Presented at the 16th International Conference on Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s Diseases (AD/PD 2022), four AD experts describe the Aβ Pathway, amyloid species and their associated toxicities, and clinical implications for disease etiology, diagnosis, and treatment development.
Defining Meaningful Benefits for Alzheimer’s Disease Patients & Care Partners Along the Clinical Care Journey
The demonstration of meaningful benefits across Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, clinicians, and care partners is undeniably critical and varies across different stages of the clinical care journey. Thus, identifying meaningfulness benefits is imperative to move towards slowing disease progression or disease management. Presented at the 2022 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC), four leading experts describe AD patient perspectives in the contexts of timely diagnostic journey, biomarker utility in AD diagnosis and management, and provide guidance to healthcare professionals that may be helpful when communicating the most relevant outcomes to AD patients and care partners.
A BLOOD TEST FOR ALZHEIMER’S?
We’re collaborating with Sysmex on a potential blood-based test for predicting amyloid pathology. This automated immune-assay system under investigation could also be utilized as a simpler and more cost-effective method to identify participants for clinical trials exploring a variety of AD therapies now in development.
STUDIES SUGGEST THAT MUSIC MAY OFFER BENEFITS TO PATIENTS
After two weeks of concerts in prestigious locations, Angelo DiLeonforte had the opportunity to play at a home for artists who worked in show business. He shared that experience on social media: "While I am still baffled by so much suffering, when I began to play I could see these people's faces change and their eyes light up. A man put his hand on the shoulder of the woman next to him. And as I left, a woman nods and in a low voice says, thank you."
