By cured, I mean an FDA-approved treatment that halts the deterioration in cognitive decline in at least 75% of cases

  • Update 2025-06-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): In the scenario where the FDA no longer exists, a treatment will be considered to meet the 'FDA-approved' requirement if it is allowed under a system where treatments are not explicitly forbidden. The treatment must still meet the efficacy criterion (halting cognitive decline in at least 75% of cases).

Would early detection and treatment suffice, if it does not necessarily work after onset of substantial symptoms? Specifically, if a reliable early detection methodology arises, would you consider early-detected cases to be part of your total set from which you measure 75%?

@EdwardKmett Edited the question. For all forms. At least 75% of cases
