Research Grade Aducanumab

Aducanumab (brand name: Aduhelm) is an amyloid beta-directed monoclonal antibody that targets amyloid beta in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s to reduce its buildup. Aducanumab is a monoclonal antibody (a protein that helps your immune system target other proteins), and it is designed to help your body remove something called amyloid beta from the brain. Amyloid beta is an important protein involved in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Aducanumab is given intravenously (infused through a vein) monthly. Aducanumab does not cure Alzheimer’s disease, but one (of two) large clinical studies suggests that aducanumab may slow the progression of the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
