Guest: Brian Gill, M.D. Brian Gill, M.D., a neurosurgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, talks about a new clinical trial evaluating a device that can temporarily open the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to more effectively treat glioblastoma. Dr. Gill explains how this new sonication device uses focused ultrasound to temporarily disrupt the BBB in order to administer chemotherapy directly into the tumor bed. The trial is building on promising results from phase 1 and phase 2 trials, which demonstrated safety, efficacy, and the potential to enhance quality of life for patients with recurrent glioblastoma. © 2025 NewYork-Presbyterian

These symptoms accelerate cognitive decline, increase mortality risk, and substantially worsen patient and caregiver quality of life. This broadcast replay will provide a practical and engaging discussion of the underlying pathophysiology of NPS associated with AD, the limitations of off-label antipsychotic use, and emerging therapeutic agents targeting NPS associated with AD.=

The emergence of targeted inhibitors of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) has created a groundbreaking paradigm shift in our approach to both the short- and longer-term management of affected patients. Join Drs. Vera Bril and Neelam Goyal as they take a deep dive into this topic and discuss how FcRn inhibitors are changing the therapeutic landscape of gMG.=
