The good news is in! At the Alzheimer's Association International Conference® 2023 (AAIC®), the largest and most influential international meeting dedicated to advancing dementia science, study results showed that the drug donanemab significantly slowed cognitive and functional decline in people living with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease and was most effective in people in the earliest stages. Your continued support is having an impact on the trajectory of Alzheimer's, and we are thankful for you!
