ALZ-801 is an oral medication administered twice daily that is designed to inhibit aggregation of beta-amyloid proteins to prevent formation of amyloid plaques, whereas monoclonal-antibody Alzheimer's therapies are administered intravenously, act primarily by promoting breakdown of existing amyloid plaques, and are associated with risks of brain swelling or bleeding.

Comparative mechanisms of an oral anti-aggregation agent versus intravenous monoclonal-antibody therapies in Alzheimer's treatment.
Monoclonal antibody Alzheimer's treatments such as lecanemab and donanemab are administered by intravenous infusion, are designed to break down existing amyloid plaques, and have been associated with brain swelling and bleeding.
