Alzheimer ’s trial shows clear benefits and significant risks of Eli Lilly antibody
On the heels of the historic full U.S. approval of the Alzheimer’s therapy lecanemab, a similarly acting drug has also demonstrated some effectiveness against the brain disorder, albeit with potentially greater risks, according to detailed clinical trial data released today by its maker, Eli Lilly and Co. The experimental therapy, donanemab, is a monoclonal antibody that mops up a protein called beta amyloid, which accumulates in the brains of people with the disease and is associated with its progression. Both it and lecanemab appear to modestly slow the cognitive decline that marks Alzheimer’s, making them the first ...
