In Fight Against Alzheimer's, $100 Million Genentech (RHHBY) Trial in Colombia May Be Ground Zero
COLOMBIA -- A $100 million Genentech (RHHBY) study on Alzheimer’s treatment is focusing on members of a Colombian family who may carry a rare gene that leads to early onset dementia by age 45, the Wall Street Journal reported this morning. If the trials pan out, it could lead to the development of a drug that could treat the cause of Alzheimer’s disease, rather than help manage symptoms.
