Biogen Shares New Leqembi Data on Slower Alzheimer's Progression, Injection Option

MT Newswires Live12-04

Biogen (BIIB) said Wednesday that new trial analyses of Leqembi indicated that starting and continuing treatment early in Alzheimer's may keep patients at milder stages for longer and supported a subcutaneous dosing option for initiation.

Looking over a 10-year period using data from the Clarity AD extension and other antibody studies, the company estimated that people on long-term Leqembi stayed in earlier disease stages several years longer than a matched group without treatment.

For patients who began therapy with lower brain amyloid levels, the projections suggested the shift from early symptoms to moderate Alzheimer's could be pushed back by up to 8.3 years, compared with modeled progression without the drug, the company said.

The company also reported fewer systemic infusion reactions in patients switched to the injection regimen, low levels of anti-drug antibodies.
