Special Episode: Aducanumab and Anti-Amyloid-ß, One Year Later

Jun 07, 2022, 06:55 PM

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments™ podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.

In this episode, we mark 1 year since the FDA granted accelerated approval to aducanumab (Aduhelm; Biogen), the first approval in Alzheimer disease since 2003. This episode offers an abridged recap of the events that have taken place over the course of its clinical journey, and in the year since that decision. Later this month, the June 2022 issue of NeuologyLive® will include a cover story that features a more in-depth and extensive review of the aducanumab saga and its implications for the clinical community from David S. Knopman, MD, a portion of which is featured in this episode.

The June 2022 issue, including Dr. Knopman's story, can be viewed here: www.neurologylive.com/journals/neurologylive
