For the first time, doctors have a medicine to prescribe that has been proven to slow the loss of memory and ability to do daily tasks that Alzheimer’s brings.
The full approval this month of the Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi marked a historic shift in the treatment of the disease: A second drug may join Leqembi — known as lecanemab before it got its brand name — on the market by the end of the year: Eli Lilly’s donanemab. It was shown in May and in fuller Phase 3 clinical trial results released at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference on Monday to delay the disease’s progression.
” They saw a similar effect when patients were separated by age: those under 75, in the low/medium tau group, had greater disease slowing than those 75 or older: 48% on the iADRS scale for the younger patients compared with 25% for the older ones. Lilly is running a trial in patients who don’t yet have symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease to see if the results are stronger, and Skovronsky said these results give them more confidence that study will succeed.
