Alzheimer’s drugs ‘make no meaningful difference to patients’, say researchers

Jonathan Schott, professor of neurology and group leader of the UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL, said: “By combining studies of different drugs, many of which have long since been disbanded, several of which had little or no effects on beta-amyloid, and most of which have failed in randomised clinical trials, it is almost inevitable that the conclusion will be that as a group they are clinically ineffective.”
