If we are to find treatments to postpone, reduce the risk of, or completely prevent the clinical onset of Alzheimer disease (AD), we need faster methods to evaluate promising preclinical AD treatments, new ways to work together in support of common goals, and a determination to expedite the initiation and performance of preclinical AD trials. In this article, we note some of the current challenges, opportunities and emerging strategies in preclinical AD treatment. We describe the Collaboration for Alzheimer's Prevention (CAP)-a convening, harmonizing and consensus-building initiative to help stakeholders advance AD prevention research with rigour, care and maximal impact-and we demonstrate the impact of CAP on the goals and design of new preclinical AD trials.
如果我们要找到能够延缓、降低风险或完全预防阿尔茨海默病(AD)临床发病的治疗方法,我们就需要更快的方法来评估有前景的临床前AD治疗方案,需要新的合作方式以支持共同目标,还需要有决心加快临床前AD试验的启动和实施。在本文中,我们指出了临床前AD治疗当前面临的一些挑战、机遇和新兴策略。我们介绍了阿尔茨海默病预防协作组织(CAP)——一项召集各方、协调一致并建立共识的倡议,旨在帮助利益相关者严谨、审慎且高效地推进AD预防研究——并且我们展示了CAP对新的临床前AD试验的目标和设计所产生的影响。
