Patients with less tau pathology on PET scans may respond better to treatment with the new Alzheimer’s disease drug donanemab, according to an October 25 news report in the journal Practical Neurology. Research suggests that the accumulation of these proteins is a continuous process that starts decades before the onset of symptoms.
