Background on LEQEMBI: What Is LEQEMBI?
LEQEMBI (lecanemab-irmb) is a medication used in the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease with confirmation of elevated amyloid beta.
Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 6, 2023, LEQEMBI represents a significant milestone in the realm of Alzheimer's treatments, marking the first traditional approval of an Alzheimer's medication that changes the underlying course of the disease.
How Does LEQEMBI Work?
LEQEMBI is the first treatment shown to reduce the rate of disease progression and slow cognitive and functional decline in folks with early Alzheimer's disease.
LEQEMBI treatment works by targeting and removing “amyloid beta" from the brain.
Amyloid beta is a protein that forms plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. These plaques are thought to damage nerve cells and contribute to the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
LEQEMBI is administered as an intravenous infusion every two weeks. LEQEMBI infusions typically take an hour or so.
What Are the Benefits of LEQEMBI Infusions?
LEQEMBI infusions can offer various benefits to patients, including (but not limited to):
Slowing disease progression: LEQEMBI is the only treatment shown to slow the rate of disease progression in people with early Alzheimer's disease. This means people who receive LEQEMBI infusions may be able to maintain their independence and continue participating in their daily activities for longer periods.
Improving cognitive function: LEQEMBI infusions have also been shown to improve cognitive function in folks with early Alzheimer's disease, contributing to clearer thinking, better memory, and improved abilities to problem solve.
Preserving functional ability: LEQEMBI can also help to preserve functional ability in early Alzheimer's patients, letting them continue enjoying and engaging in activities like driving, working, and spending time with loved ones.
Enhancing quality of life: Because LEQEMBI infusions let early Alzheimer's patients maintain their independence and participate in daily life activities longer, these treatments can contribute to a better quality of life for early patients.
Reducing care partner burden: With LEQEMBI infusions giving Alzheimer's patients the chance to remain more independent, these folks will generally require less assistance from their care partners.
In addition to these benefits, LEQEMBI infusions are generally well-tolerated. The most common side effects of LEQEMBI infusions are mild and dissipate on their own.
