Sets out findings of research into the challenges faced when developing treatments for dementia. Despite huge investments by innovators in the last decade, there is still no cure or treatment for slowing down disease progression. Part of the problem is the high failure rate of candidate drugs, predominantly in the early stages of development, which is symptomatic of the gaps in the biology. While highlighting opportunities for better alignment within current regulatory platforms, the report looks at the bigger picture of an integrated approach to the process, from dementia research through to drug development and outlines a series of recommendations which will get regulatory agencies and research bodies collaboratively closer to an integrated approach for facilitating the delivery of a cure or disease-modifying therapy for dementia.
