The launch of LEQEMBI in China marks an important milestone in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
LEQEMBI, also known as Lecanemab, is a humanized anti-soluble aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibody. It selectively binds to both soluble Aβ aggregates (protofibrils) and insoluble Aβ aggregates (fibrils), reducing Aβ plaques in the brain.
Its launch in China provides a crucial opportunity for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment, supporting those affected to “live their fullest lives.
