  • Overview

    Recently, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) saw its first approvals for disease-modifying therapy (DMT).  With amyloid-beta (Aβ) targeting DMT now a reality, the entire way this condition is viewed and managed is changing. In particular, amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), the most common adverse effects seen in DMT trials, are unique to this agent class, raising new questions and considerations across multiple medical specialties.  As there is limited formal guidance on how to recognize and mange ARIA, this activity series employs experts in the fields of neurology, radiology, emergency medicine, and primary care to provide insight into how their fields are evolving to accommodate ARIA and to outline individual roles and best practices across specialties.  This six-part series features distinct programs designed to introduce ARIA, detail its recognition and management in specific clinical settings, and ultimately optimize collaborative care.

    This first activity focuses on the rise of amyloid-targeting DMT and the subsequent key features of ARIA that impact all specialties.

  • Target Audience

    This activity is intended for neurodegenerative disease specialists, general neurologists, primary care physicians, radiologists, neuroradiologists, emergency medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals involved in the diagnosis and long-term management of patients with early-stage AD neurobiology (mild cognitive impairment [MCI], early-AD).

  • Learning Objectives

    • Understand how the field of AD management is evolving, including the emergence of new and investigational amyloid-targeting therapeutics, to prepare for additional responsibilities and sequelae that may be introduced across specialties.
    • Review the types, prevalence, timing, and risk factors of ARIA across trials of new and emerging amyloid-targeting therapies to gauge when and in which patients to evaluate for their occurrence.
  • Accreditation and Credit Designation Statements

    In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Medical Education Resources (MER) and Efficient LLC. MER is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
