Baxter International Inc. also reported some encouraging results in July from its potential Alzheimer’s treatment, Gammagard. The company said a tiny study indicated Gammagard might help stabilize Alzheimer’s for up to three years. Four patients who got the highest dose of Gammagard for three years showed no decline on memory and cognition tests, but a dozen others on different doses or shorter treatment times didn’t fare as well.
That study was too small to prove the treatment works, but a more rigorous one involving 400 patients will end late this year with results expected by early next year.
