The article stresses that this is very early in the game. Doctors will not soon be prescribing Enbrel for Alzheimer's. However, it is a drug that is on the market, and if it is shown to be safe and useful for Alzheimer's, the time to get it approved for Alzheimer's will certainly be less than if it were a new drug.

 

Until that time, we can chalk this up to one more study that shows some promise. It may succeed. It may fail. But one day, researchers in some study will shout some version of eureka! And a cure for Alzheimer's will begin to change lives for millions of people with Alzheimer's, and those who love them.
