i will assume you are trying for the alz info from the front page. it did work for me last night and still works today.

an interesting part of the alz press release from eln, and it is old, form july 99,

"Should AN-1792 prove as successful in future human clinical trials as it has been in our preclinical mouse studies, we believe it will help treat a disease that devastates millions of patients and their families," he added

and from the research overview:

Conclusions

These results confirm the hypothesis that amyloid plaque formation in these mice is a dynamic process involving both deposition and clearance. AN-1792 demonstrates that amyloid plaque deposition can be altered in these mice presumably by accelerating the clearance of amyloid plaque.

These results raise the possibility of immunization with AN-1792 as both a treatment and perhaps a prophylactic measure against AD. Approval to commence Phase I clinical studies to assess the safety in AD patients with AN-1792 will be sought later in the year through the submission of an investigational new drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
