Revolutionary drug Rember® for Alzheimer’s

[Haydar]

Thank you very much for Lyndsey’s (nickname vinni1964) informing us the drug called Rember® which his mother is presently using. You can reach his posting by the following link http://forum.alzheimers.org.uk/showt...764#post588764 .

Because it was first time to hear such a drug name, I searched the internet for it. My findings made me so happy I wanted to share with you in the following.

1) The Rember® which is a Tau Aggregation Inhibitor (TAI) offer a major advance over all existing Alzheimer’s medicines (such as Aricept, Ebixa, Exelon, etc.) which only transiently address the symptoms of AD and related diseases and cannot slow their progression.

2) The Rember® phase II clinical trials delivered an 80% reduction in the rate of Alzheimer’s disease progression and provided the first clinical demonstration that a new therapy targeting Tau protein aggregation could dramatically reduce the rate of progression of this deadly disease.

Plus per my belief all existing Alzheimer’s medicines can only create benefits on half of the people using them. And these benefits disappear after a while since they can not stop or slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s or related diseases.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but Rember is still very much in the trial stages. Actually we did have one member who had a family member on one of the trials, although I'm sorry I can't remember who it was.

There was a phase II trial but I'm not sure it's gone to a phase III trial yet. As far as I'm aware there hasn't been much more information on this drug since the 2008 trial (which may mean something or nothing).

It does mean it's not close to being an accepted treatment for AD. There's been a lot of hype but not a lot of in depth research I'm afraid. I'm sorry.

I tried to get my husband on a trial for this some time ago. The trial centre was Aberdeen and you had to have a GP in Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire. I've not heard of the progress of the trials since.
