Experts have hope for an Alzheimer’s drug to be developed by 2025 Experts believe that some form of a new Alzheimer’s drug will be developed by 2025, despite negative results of recent Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials. Leading scientists believe there is still great hope for novel therapies in the relative short term, most likely pilot versions that will need to be upgraded.

Register today for the 2017 Alzheimer’s Association Advocacy Forum The relentless efforts of advocates of the Alzheimer’s Association and the Alzheimer's Impact Movement, our sister organization, have resulted in historic Alzheimer’s research funding increases at the National Institutes of Health and greater access to care and support services.

Join us at the 2017 Alzheimer’s Association Advocacy Forum March 27-29 to learn about the global and national impact of Alzheimer’s and how to deliver our powerful messages to elected officials.
