A new Alzheimer’s drug that could reduce a crucial component of the disease by 90 per cent is to be tested on thousands of patients.

Experts say ‘exciting’ research on a drug to combat brain plaques could lead to a generally available pill within five years.

If the trials are successful, the drug would help around 400,000-500,000 Britons deemed at ‘high risk’ of developing Alzheimer’s because they have memory problems in late middle age.

In patients with Alzheimer’s, clumps or plaques of a substance called amyloid beta protein stick to brain cells, leading to changes in memory, mood and behaviour.

Results from a previous three-month study of 200 patients, and earlier studies, show the drug reduces these amyloid plaques by up to 90 per cent.
