Gammagard is an immunoglobulin-based drug manufactured by Baxter International.[1] It is a brand of intravenous immunoglobulin.[2]

Early experimental results from a small clinical trial in humans have shown hints that it may protect against the progression of Alzheimer's Disease.[2][3]

In 2013 it failed a phase III clinical trial for Alzheimer's Disease.[4]
