Researchers released new details from a study of a closely watched drug for Alzheimer’s disease on Tuesday, shedding more light on the drug’s risks and benefits as U.S. health regulators weigh approving it.

Eisai Co. and Biogen Inc.’s drug, called lecanemab, slowed cognitive decline by 27% compared with a placebo over 18 months in a study of more than 1,700 people with early-stage Alzheimer’s, researchers reported in the New England Journal of Medicine on Tuesday.

In September, Biogen and partner Eisai announced positive top-line data from Clarity AD study, which showed that treatment with lecanemab exhibited statistically significant reduction of clinical decline in AD patients. The study met the primary endpoint as well as all key secondary endpoints.

If approved by the FDA, the drug will be the only anti-amyloid beta antibody that can be used to treat early AD without the need for titration.
