George Vradenburg and the Future of Alzheimer's Advocacy - Part 1

About This Episode

The Food and Drug Administration expedited approval of Lecanemab, a drug developed by Eisai and Biogen, that demonstrated positive results in slowing Alzheimer's disease. What does this mean for the future of Alzheimer’s advocacy?

In this episode of BrainStorm, host Meryl Comer talks with George Vradenburg, Chairman and Co-Founder of UsAgainstAlzheimer’s, Convener of Global CEOi and Co-Convener with the World Economic Forum of the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative.  They discuss the immediate implications of the drug approval, how it will impact the Alzheimer’s movement, and what it means for the future of Alzheimer’s disease.
