I feel like $biib aducanumab has a decent shot, but im not in love with their trial design. the biomarker entry criteria is an important step, moving up into the early and prodromal stage is an important step, but I feel that the duration of treatment may not be long enough. I would have preferred to see a 30 or 36 month tx duration as opposed to 18 months. The pathology of the disease has been progressing, even in these early patients, for 20 yrs. Longer wouldve have given the trial a higher probability of success. I dont see a lot of differentiation from aducanumab and bapineuzumab, apart from $biib heavily benefited by Elan/JnJ being 1st, maybe studying disease too late, being too early for good biomarkers, and paving the way regarding ARIA/vasogenic edma as a marker for efficacy.
There are 2 other antibodies to keep eyes on. Ganterumab from ROche, which is somewhat similar to aducanumab and bapineuzumab, as well as crenezumab from Genentech.
