New and Better Clinical Trials for Rejuvenation Biotechnologies
The need for disease-modifying therapies in Alzheimer’s disease, and the strength of the case for aggregated beta-amyloid as a target, have recently driven substantial regulatory reform and innovations in clinical trial design to open up the path for faster and more effective human testing and approval of novel Alzheimer’s therapeutics. The first fruits of these changes are a series of large, late-stage clinical trials of immunotherapies targeting the removal of beta-amyloid from the brain. These reforms and precedents open up the path for human testing and approval of future rejuvenation biotechnologies.
