US to build US$300mil database for Alzheimer’s research FMTNews FMTBusiness
The database could identify healthy people at risk for Alzheimer’s, which affects 6 million Americans, for future drug trials.
The platform will draw on data from medical records, insurance claims, pharmacies, mobile devices, sensors and various government agencies, they said. Alzheimer’s research has been galvanised by Leqembi, a new treatment from Eisai Co Ltd and Biogen Inc that slows the advance of the disease in early-stage patients.
The US Medicare health plan for older adults will likely require such tracking in a registry as a condition of reimbursement for Leqembi. Silverberg said the data platform could also help researchers working in other disease areas understand which patients are most at risk and the impact of medications.
The grant, which was posted on March 13, has been years in the making. The funding announcement sets its earliest start date at April 2024, with a goal to establish an Alzheimer’s registry 21 months later.
