🔴 Scientists have questioned whether a “breakthrough” Alzheimer’s drug will ever make it to patients after more details of its side effects have been released
in San Francisco overnight, confirm a “robust effect” of slowing of cognitive decline of 27 per cent compared to those people in the study who were not given the drug. The trial, known as Clarity AD included 1,795 people with early-stage Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s, who received a bi-weekly infusion of either lecanemab or a placebo.
The paper also suggests further studies to evaluate how effective and safe lecanemab is are ongoing, as a key question is whether clinical benefits are progressive in that they continue beyond the 18 months, and whether they are sustained. Lecanemab, produced by Tokyo-based pharmaceutical company Eisai and US biotech firm Biogen, is the first drug that provides a real treatment option for people with Alzheimer’s, experts said. While the clinical benefits appear somewhat limited, it can be expected that they will become more apparent if the drug is administered over a longer time period.
