TouchNEUROLOGY also spoke to Prof. Huntington Potter (University of Colorado, Denver, USA) to discuss sargramostim, an innate immune system modulator which has been investigated in a phase 2 study to determine if it can safely halt or reduce cognitive decline and brain pathology in participants with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The phase 2 results (NCT01409915) to investigate whether inflammation and the innate immune system in AD may provide therapeutic benefit, and what will be the next steps in the development of sargramostim in AD.
