[HT-06] Hot Topics 06 New diagnostic and therapy strategies for PSP/CBD

Thu. May 20, 2021 4:15 PM - 6:15 PM Room 06 (ICC Kyoto 2F Room B-2)

Chair:Ikeuchi Takeshi(Brain Research Institute, Niigata University),Aiba Ikuko(Department of Neurology, National Hospital Organization Higashinagoya National Hospital)

Much attention has been paid on the development of disease-modifying treatments (DMT) for PSP/CBD, in which aggregation and spreading of pathological tau in brain are involved in the pathogenesis. The major limitation in the development of DMT for PSP/CBD has been the lack of sensitive clinical diagnostic criteria and imaging/biofluid biomarkers. In this symposium, new diagnostic approach and therapeutic strategies for PSP/CBD will be discussed.
