Introduction to ALZ-NET
Millions Affected
More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050, this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million.
More than 140 new therapies are being tested in clinical trials or are currently under regulatory review.
Treatments
The Alzheimer’s Network for Treatment and Diagnostics (ALZ-NET) seeks to connect clinical data from Alzheimer’s patients to our network of medical professionals and researchers to encourage robust information sharing and education, and to drive innovation in the ways we care for and treat Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia.
Patient Registry
ALZ-NET is a voluntary provider-enrolled patient registry that collects information on treatments for Alzheimer’s disease from patients being evaluated for or treated with novel FDA-approved Alzheimer’s therapies. ALZ-NET is also a platform for patients to access resources about Alzheimer’s, including locating ALZ-NET participating sites.
Payer Coverage
ALZ-NET is approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as a Coverage with Evidence Development (CED) study and can be used as a pathway to Medicare coverage for anti-amyloid Alzheimer’s therapies that have received traditional FDA approval.
