BBC NEWS | Health | Drug offers hope on Alzheimer's
A new drug which shows promise as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease has been developed by UK scientists.
The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports the drug, CPHPC, removes a protein thought to play a key role in Alzheimer's from the blood.
Tests at the University College London found the protein also disappeared from the brains of five Alzheimer's patients given the drug for three months.
Longer and larger scale clinical studies are now being planned.
