Core Viewpoint - The ATTENTION-AD trial data indicates that oral blarcamesine has a disease-modifying effect on chronic Alzheimer's disease, emphasizing the importance of early and continuous long-term treatment for patients [1][3][10]. Efficacy Data - Over three years of continuous treatment with blarcamesine showed significant clinical benefits for early Alzheimer's disease patients, as measured by clinical endpoints ADAS-Cog13 and ADCS-ADL [1][3]. - The delayed-start analysis revealed a significant difference in cognitive function between early and late treatment groups, with a LS mean difference of -3.83 for ADAS-Cog13 (P = 0.0165) and +4.30 for ADCS-ADL (P = 0.0206) at Week 192 [6][7]. - Continuous treatment without interruption resulted in improved cognitive and functional outcomes, with LS mean differences of -4.20 for ADAS-Cog13 (P = 0.0083) and +5.75 for ADCS-ADL (P = 0.0015) at Week 192 [9][10]. Safety Data - Blarcamesine exhibited a favorable safety profile, with most adverse events being mild to moderate and manageable through adjusted titration schedules [11][12]. - No severe or life-threatening adverse events were reported, and there were no treatment-related deaths [2][11]. - The frequency of dizziness, the most common treatment-emergent adverse event, decreased significantly from 25.2% in the previous trial to 9.6% in the ATTENTION-AD trial [12].
