Success of experimental Alzheimer’s drug hailed as ‘historic moment’

Study shows cognition in early-stage patients on lecanemab declines by 27% less than those on placebo

theguardian.com

Rob Howard, a professor of old age psychiatry at University College London (UCL), said: “This is an unambiguously statistically positive result and represents something of an historic moment when we see the first convincing modification of Alzheimer’s disease. God knows, we’ve waited long enough for this.”

Eisai and Biogen are expected to apply for regulatory approval in the US and Europe by the end of the year. If approved, healthcare providers will have difficult decisions about whether to fund the drug, which requires infusions every two weeks, and who will be eligible for it because the clinical improvements seen by patients fall just below a widely accepted benchmark.
