WVU Medicine Health Report - Slowing Alzheimer's Disease

More than seven million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. The timing for a game-changing treatment couldn’t be better. In this WVU Medicine Health Report, RNI Memory Health Clinic Director, Dr. Marc Haut explains how a new monoclonal antibody treatment is significantly slowing down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

Monoclonal Antibody Infusion Therapy: Innovative Alzheimer's Care, Close to Home

Monoclonal Antibodies are lab-engineered proteins designed to target and clear the amyloid plaques that build up in the brain and drive Alzheimer’s Disease. Delivered through regular IV infusions, this treatment can help slow the progression of early-stage Alzheimer’s, and the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute’s network of infusion centers across West Virginia brings this innovative, life-changing therapy to patients without requiring long-distance travel.
