Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia. Monoclonal antibodies (MABs) serve as a promising therapeutic approach for AD by selectively targeting key pathogenic factors, such as amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide, tau protein, and neuroinflammation. Specifically, based on their efficacy in removing Aβ plaques from the brains of patients with AD, the U.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, characterized by progressive cognitive decline. Cholinesterase inhibitors are commonly used to manage symptoms but have limited efficacy as the disease progresses. Aducanumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, has emerged as a novel therapeutic approach.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a type of neurodegenerative illness in which β-amyloid (Aβ) and tau protein accumulate in neurons in the form of tangles. The pathophysiological pathway of AD consists of Aβ-amyloid peptides, tau proteins, and oxidative stress in neurons and increased neuro-inflammatory response. Food and Drug Administration in the United States has authorized various drugs for the effective treatment of AD, which include galantamine, rivastigmine, donepezil, memantine, sodium oligomannate, lecanemab, and aducanumab.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex/multifactorial brain disorder involving hundreds of defective genes, epigenetic aberrations, cerebrovascular alterations, and environmental risk factors. The onset of the neurodegenerative process is triggered decades before the first symptoms appear, probably due to a combination of genomic and epigenetic phenomena. Therefore, the primary objective of any effective treatment is to intercept the disease process in its presymptomatic phases.

Background: Aducanumab, a monoclonal antibody, received approval for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in 2021. However, it remains controversial over the security of this drug. In this study, aducanumab-related adverse events (AEs) were evaluated through data mining based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.
