Petch, Joel, Bressington, Daniel (2021) Aducanumab for Alzheimer’s disease: The never-ending story that nurses should know. Nursing Open, . ISSN 2054-1058. (doi:10.1002/nop2.878) (KAR id:96764)

Abstract

In October 2019, the American pharmaceutical company Biogen stated intention to apply to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the candidate drug aducanumab to be licenced as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). If approved, aducanumab would become the first new medication licenced specifically for the treatment of AD in the past decade; and approval in the US may be a precipitant for approval elsewhere.
