Examples of plaques in a Sentence
The FDA is totally switching gears over the last six months and approving this drug on the basis of a theory relating to the surrogate marker of amyloid plaques that we, as an advisory committee back in November, were told to not consider, if The FDA allows companies to get drugs approved on the basis of trials that are stopped early, trials that are reanalyzed, that sets a precedent.
Marc actually tried out for aducanumab [trials] twice but he flunked because he did too well on his memory tests, we knew he had Alzheimer’s and he was building up amyloid plaques in the brain and had an increased genetic risk for Alzheimer’s.
