More Evidence Lowering Amyloid Is Clinically Beneficial in Early Alzheimer’s

Reduced amyloid burden after treatment with the antiamyloid donanemab (Kisunla) correlated strongly with slower cognitive and functional decline in adults with early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in a secondary analysis of the phase 3 TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 trial. The TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 study showed that donanemab effectively removed beta-amyloid plaques from the brain and demonstrated statistically significant slowing of cognitive and functional decline compared with placebo.
