EAN 2021 | Plasma exchange in the treatment landscape of AD

Javier Olazarán, MD, PhD, Gregorio Marañón Hospital, Madrid, Spain, discusses the safety of plasma exchange as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In the AMBAR study (NCT01561053), which evaluated plasma exchange with albumin replacement in mild/moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the treatment was well-tolerated. Dr Olazarán highlights the encouraging findings from the AMBAR trial and believes plasma exchange will have an important role in the early treatment of AD patients in the near future. This interview took place during the European Academy of Neurology 2021 congress.
