Alzheimer’s Disease
• Typically manifests with insidious progression of memory loss and executive
dysfunction • Eventually affects language, visuospatial,
behavior • Accounts for 60-70% of all late-life dementia • Prevalence increases exponentially by decade

Good News / Bad NewsBAD NEWS FIRST • 1 out of every 9 individuals over 65 has AD! • 5.8 million AD patients currently in U.S., increasing
exponentially over the next 3 decades • Cost estimates - > $$ 203 billion/year • Several recent drug trials failed to show benefit GOOD NEWS • Multiple new mechanisms starting clinical trials • Long preclinical phase of AD to intervene!

Urgency and Opportunity• We have no successful disease-modifying
treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (yet….) • We have been running trials at the late stages of
a disease process that begins decade(s) before dementia
• We have 10,000 baby-boomers turning age 65 every day in the US entering the age of risk
• We have many challenges ahead but we have an incredible opportunity to inform the field and if we are successful… to fundamentally change the paradigm of AD treatment

Encouraging history from other fields• Cholesterol Wars in Cardiology
• Good vs. bad cholesterol • Secondary prevention trials in familial
hypercholesterolemia and in post-MI • Reduction of cholesterol estimated to have reduced
cardiac morbidity and mortality by 28% • Amyloid does not have to be “the” cause of AD, merely “a” critical factor to impact the disease • Ultimately will likely need combination therapy (COMBAT trial) to fully prevent AD dementia
