inexorable decline or inexorable increase

Hello,

Why in the text in bold used inexorable decline ?! I think it should be inexorable increase not decline.
I get confused about it.

"Hopes for new drugs that would slow or stop the inexorable decline of Alzheimer’s patients have repeatedly foundered in recent years. In one example, Eli Lilly had
to halt the trial of a drug designed to prevent the production of toxic proteins in the brain because patients’ cognition actually worsened while they were taking it."
