An Alzheimer’s drug that could halt the progression of the disease has been hailed a “game changer”.

The memory-robbing disorder has no cure, with existing treatments working to ease its symptoms.

In severe cases, patients may become aggressive, struggle to move or even hallucinate.

Hopes have been raised after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the medication aducanumab fast-track approval.

Trials have demonstrated aducanumab helps to untangle Alzheimer’s tell-tale protein clumps in the brain, potentially reversing the disease.
