Several : Much research is focused on the "amyloid plaque", and includes the vaccine approach, a new monoclonal antibody, bapineuzamab, and immune globulin. A variety of medical foods have come onto the market and can supplement current basic meds. Adjunctive treatment with axona, and cerefolin-nac may be useful.
