- Lecanemab, the first drug shown to slow early-stage Alzheimer's, will not be available through the NHS in England as NICE deems its benefits insufficient to justify the costs, despite receiving approval from the MHRA for private prescriptions.
- In clinical trials, Lecanemab demonstrated a 25% reduction in cognitive decline over 18 months for early-stage Alzheimer's patients. However, NICE highlighted the high costs associated with treatment, including intensive monitoring and frequent hospital visits.
- Administered bi-weekly as an intravenous infusion, Lecanemab targets amyloid protein accumulation in the brain. Concerns arose regarding side effects, including small brain bleeds, leading to some patients requiring hospitalization.
- Though the benefits of Lecanemab may seem modest, it represents a significant advancement in Alzheimer's research. Health organizations expressed concern for nearly one million dementia patients facing uncertainty, while the EMA rejected its license due to serious risk concerns.
