SUMMARY:Rethinking ARIA: Antibody Amplified CAA-ri?
DESCRIPTION:Explore new insights into ARIA and CAA in anti amyloid therapies\, examining how antibodies may amplify CAA related inflammation and what this reveals about underlying disease mechanisms – in this webinar organised by the ISTAART Vascular Cognitive Disorders PIA. \nThis session will also highlight emerging biomarker evidence that is reshaping how we interpret the pathophysiology of these conditions and their implications for treatment safety and monitoring. \nBringing together leading expertise\, the discussion will consider how advances in imaging and fluid biomarkers are helping to identify risk\, track progression and better understand patient variability in response to therapy. Expect a focused exploration of how these findings could influence clinical decision making and future therapeutic development. \nSpeakers: Cynthia Lemere\, Fabrizio PiazzaModerators: Beth Eyre\, Roxana Carare \n\nRegister
