Managed Care Insights on Disease Targeted Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease

Pricing: Free for Members and Non-Members

This activity is supported by an educational grant from Genentech, a member of the Roche Group.

Course Description

Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia in adults aged 65 and older, is associated with significant economic and humanistic burden, and, as the population ages, is expected to continue an upward trajectory. Recently a novel therapeutic agent indicated for Alzheimer’s disease was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the first time in over 20 years, and several others are expected in the coming years. While the new agents may represent scientific advancements, the cost and value of these treatments will also require assessment of budget modeling, outcomes impact, and managed care strategies to ensure safe and appropriate use in patients. Faculty will review disease burden and advances in disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer’s disease.

Target Audience

Pharmacists who practice in managed care settings.

Learning Objectives

  1. Describe the economic burden associated with Alzheimer’s disease including implications of timely and accurate diagnosis.
