成大醫院從去年6月23日開始以美、日兩國兩種新藥,提供輕度失智症患者接受自費治療,迄今累計治療102例病患,居全國醫院之首,僅3病患有副作用停藥,其他多數患者與家屬反映患者治療後較願意與他人互動,對療效滿意。成醫提醒民眾可以衛福部指引的10大警訊,作為就醫評估是否早期患者的依據。

成醫失智症中心主任白明奇教授表示,隨著生物標記檢測及疾病修飾治療的發展,阿茲海默症(失智症)治療漸從過去以症狀控制為主,朝向針對疾病病理機轉治療。兩種抗類澱粉蛋白藥的使用,為早期失智患者提供另1種治療選擇;不過,是否適合接受治療,仍須由醫療團隊依患者的疾病階段、檢查結果及整體健康情形評估。

成醫失智症中心追蹤接受新藥治療患者的變化,分析影像幾乎所有個案的腦內類澱粉蛋白(毒蛋白)負荷明顯下降,有6位患者完全清除毒蛋白。部分患者用藥期間曾出現類流感症狀,適當處置後均緩解;少數患者發現腦內微出血點,後續未出現症狀。白明奇與團隊說,會依治療規範進行腦部影像與臨床症狀監測,及早掌握可能的變化,兼顧治療與用藥安全。

白明奇說,102例接受新藥治療患者平均71歲,其中有患者覺得記憶有改善;也有多位患者與家屬回饋說,患者變得較願意與他人互動、交談,自我照顧能力的表現也有進步;多數對新藥療效感到滿意。

成大醫院失智症中心醫護團隊從2025年6月23日起迄今,已接受102位輕度失智症患者以自費新藥治療。

因為新藥適用於輕度失智患者,成醫失智症中心醫師洪煒斌說,希望多發掘出早期、輕度患者接受新藥治療,成效會更好,民眾可檢視若有失智症10大警訊症狀,可及早就醫評估。

包括記憶力減退到影響生活、計畫事情或解決問題有困難、無法勝任原本熟悉的事務、對時間地點感到混淆、有困難理解視覺影像和空間的關係、言語表達或書寫出現困難、東西擺放錯亂且失去回頭尋找的能力、判斷力變差、從職場或社交活動中退出、情緒和個性的改變。
