Abstract

Alzheimer's drug slows memory decline in phase 3 trial In September 2022, the pharmaceutical company Eisai announced that their drug, lecanemab, had shown small but clear benefits for people with early Alzheimer's, such as reductions in memory decline, in a rigorous, well-conducted phase 3 trial. Here Henry Scowcroft from Alzheimer's Research UK shows how the drug is one of several in development that work by removing a protein called amyloid from the brain, but it's the first that's been shown to slow down people's memory decline and thinking and improve day-to-day activities.
