Phase II Data on Lilly's Antibody Show It Affects Amyloid Beta, a Protein Believed To Be Associated with Alzheimer's Disease
Date:7/30/2008

venth-leading cause of death in the United States(4). The direct and indirect health care costs associated with Alzheimer's disease in the U.S. are estimated to be about $150 billion(5). In 2005, the total cost worldwide was estimated at $315.4 billion(6).

Given the aging population, without the availability of medicines that delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease, the number of affected people worldwide is expected to quadruple by the year 2050(7). The average duration between onset of symptoms and death due to complications of Alzheimer's disease is about 8-10 years(8). The burden to caregivers and health care costs can increase dramatically in the late stages of Alzheimer's disease, when patients cannot maintain independent function and are frequently bedridden.

About LY2062430

LY2062430 binds specifically to soluble amyloid beta and thereby alters the sticky characteristics of this peptide. Alzheimer's disease theory suggests that amyloid beta kills brain cells. Clinical studies have examined the ability of LY2062430 to impact amyloid beta in blood and cerebrospinal fluid and found significant dose-dependent changes. To date, the most frequently occurring side effect experienced in clinical studies with LY2062430 has been mild chills consistent with an infusion reaction. For a more complete listing of potential side effects, prospective clinical trial participants should refer to the informed consent document.
