The clock is tick­ing on Eli Lil­ly’s big Alzheimer’s gam­ble; Pluris­tem reach­es terms on $30M in­vest­ment from Chi­na group

Eli Lil­ly’s huge solanezum­ab study is al­most done. The phar­ma com­pa­ny not­ed this morn­ing that the last pa­tient vis­it has been record­ed in its lat­est Phase III at­tempt to prove that the amy­loid be­ta the­o­ry for Alzheimer’s is right. Lil­ly, of course, al­ready had one failed Phase III ef­fort on this drug. But they’re con­vinced that they can show cog­ni­tive ben­e­fits for pa­tients with a mild form of the mem­o­ry-wast­ing ail­ment. The da­ta are due out be­fore the end of the year, just weeks away.
