A second‐generation Tau Aggregation Inhibitor (TAI) that targets Tau tangles and their precursors, Tau aggregates (called ‘oligomers’).
There are an estimated 600,000-650,000 people with dementia in England and Wales, with an estimated 35-60% being of the Alzheimer’s type (equating to between 210,000 and 390,000 people). Alzheimer’s disease progression is dependent on age, with a time from diagnosis to death of about 5−20 years, and a median survival from onset of dementia to death of 7.1 years. NICE estimated that 50−64% of people with Alzheimer’s disease have mild to moderate disease [3]
