Drug for Alzheimer’s shows promise in reducing symptoms: Eisai
In a research experiment, a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease developed by US company Biogen Inc. and Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai Co. showed promise for reducing the severity of symptoms.
Lecanemab is a medication Eisai hopes to have approved by the government in 2023.
According to Eisai, the medication slowed the progression of symptoms like deteriorating memory and impaired judgment by 27% in the clinical trial compared to a placebo.
A total of 1,800 patients with early symptoms from Japan, the US, Europe, and China participated in the trial.
The announcement follows the rejection of aducanumab, a different Alzheimer’s disease treatment co-developed by Eisai and Biogen, by a panel at Japan’s health ministry in December last year.
According to Eisai, lecanemab eliminates a particular class of protein called amyloid beta, which builds up inside the brain and kills nerve cells.
