How New Alzheimer’s Infusion Therapy is Transforming Cognitive Care
A Breakthrough in Alzheimer’s Treatment
Alzheimer’s disease affects millions of individuals and their families, progressively impairing memory and cognitive function. At Chicago Neurological Services, we are at the forefront of innovative treatments, offering cutting-edge infusion therapy that is reshaping the landscape of Alzheimer’s care.
Understanding Alzheimer’s Infusion Therapy
Recent advancements in monoclonal antibody infusion therapy have opened new doors for patients with early-stage Alzheimer’s. These therapies target beta-amyloid plaques—a hallmark of the disease—helping to slow cognitive decline and improve quality of life.
How Does Infusion Therapy Work?
Infusion therapy involves the administration of FDA-approved monoclonal antibodies, such as Leqembi (lecanemab) and Kisunla (donanemab), through an intravenous (IV) drip. These antibodies bind to amyloid plaques in the brain, assisting the immune system in clearing them and potentially preserving cognitive function.
Overview of Anti-Amyloid Medications.
Kisunla and Leqembi represent the latest breakthroughs in Alzheimer’s treatment, both designed to target and clear amyloid plaques efficiently. Clinical trials have shown that Kisunla can significantly slow cognitive decline in early-stage Alzheimer’s patients, offering new hope for those affected by the disease. Similarly, Leqembi has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing amyloid buildup, helping to preserve cognitive function and slow disease progression. These advancements mark a significant step forward in the fight against Alzheimer’s.
Who is Eligible for Treatment?
Patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or early-stage Alzheimer’s who have undergone diagnostic testing to confirm amyloid plaque buildup may be eligible for this infusion therapy. A consultation with our specialists at Chicago Neurological Services can help determine if this treatment is right for you or your loved one.
