Baxter (BAX) Gammagard Buzz


Is Gammagard the One the Alzheimer's Community Has Been Waiting For?

This is re-posted from the Alzheimer's Reading Room. You might want to take a look at Baxter. However, there is still a lot of risk going into the results of the Phase 3 clinical trial

This is the first study to report long term stabilization of Alzheimer's symptoms over a period of 36 months .

Alzheimer's Reading Room

Is Gammagard the One the Alzheimer's Community Has Been Waiting For?
We now have the first study in almost a decade that is reporting long term stabilization of Alzheimer's disease symptoms in patients.

Eleven patients who were treated over a 36 month period with IVIG/Gammagard had favorable outcomes in terms of their thinking abilities, behavior and daily function.

To be clear, the already existing symptoms of the Alzheimer's patients being studied did not improve; however, patients did not show any further decline on measures of cognition, memory, daily functioning or mood over the three years.
