A new drug called Gammagard, made by Baxter International Inc, has been shown to stop or delay the progression of Alzheimer's disease by up to three years, according to a new study.
Doctors say that four patients who received the highest dose in early testing showed no decline on memory and cognition tests three years later. A bigger, more comprehensive study of the treatment will give results within a year.
