Lecanemab real-world treatment outcomes from cohort study in early Alzheimer's disease

Lecanemab has demonstrated amyloid reduction and slowed clinical decline in early Alzheimer's disease trials. Herein, we report retrospective case series results on lecanemab treatment in our clinic. Overall, 61 individuals were included. For the 33 patients with Kokmen Mental Status Exam baseline and post-baseline scores, 67% had either improved or stable scores. Nine incident amyloid-related imaging abnormalities were observed with all but one patient continuing treatment. Six patients were safely transitioned from aducanumab to lecanemab treatment upon market withdrawal of aducanumab. In a real-world clinical practice setting, the lecanemab effectiveness and safety profile were similar to that observed in clinical studies.
