CHALLENGES

To date, every drug candidate which entered clinical trials against Alzheimer’s disease has failed because of limited effects on an individual biological pathway, protein or enzyme. They fell into the category of the current paradigm “one gene, one target, one drug”. However, Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by multiple targets and multiple factors involving physiological and biochemical mediators, leading to cognitive and memory impairment and neuronal death. APERUS aims to develop an effective multi-target directed drug that could become a new cornerstone in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
