Lecanemab in Early Alzheimer's Disease

Christopher H. van Dyck et al.

Summary: Lecanemab, a humanized monoclonal antibody, reduced amyloid markers and showed improvement in cognition and function in early Alzheimer's disease patients. However, it also resulted in adverse events. Longer trials are needed to determine its efficacy and safety in early Alzheimer's disease.

Impact of Anti-amyloid-β Monoclonal Antibodies on the Pathology and Clinical Profile of Alzheimer's Disease: A Focus on Aducanumab and Lecanemab

Mingchao Shi et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent form of age-related dementia in the world, with limited treatment options available to provide only partial symptomatic relief. Disease-modifying therapies, targeting the systemic failure of cell-mediated Aβ clearance, are currently being studied in clinical trials.

Incidence of Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities in Patients With Alzheimer Disease Treated With Anti-beta-Amyloid Immunotherapy

So Yeong Jeong et al.

Summary: This study assessed the incidence of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in clinical trials of anti-beta-amyloid immunotherapy and conducted subgroup analyses based on different agents and ApoE-4 carrier status. The results showed that the incidence of ARIA varied depending on the anti-beta-amyloid immunotherapy agent, with aducanumab-treated cohorts having a significantly higher incidence compared to other drugs. The study also found a higher incidence of ARIA in the ApoE-4 carrier group, although the difference was not statistically significant. Most cases of ARIA were asymptomatic.

Alzheimer's disease

Philip Scheltens et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is projected to see a significant increase in prevalence in the future, with genetics playing a key role. Novel biomarkers and lifestyle-based prevention trials show promising therapeutic potential. Promising pharmacological treatments are advancing in clinical trials, targeting amyloid beta, tau, and inflammation.
