Lecanemab

March 16, 2024

Lecanemab, sold under the brand name Leqembi, is a monoclonal antibody medication used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.[2][3] Lecanemab is an amyloid beta-directed antibody.[2] It is given via intravenous infusion.[2] The most common side effects of lecanemab include headache, infusion-related reactions, and amyloid-related imaging abnormalities, a side effect known to occur with the class of antibodies targeting amyloid.[4]

Lecanemab was granted accelerated approval for medical use in the United States in January 2023,[5] and fully approved by the FDA in July 2023.[3][6]

Medical uses edit

Lecanemab is indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.[2][3][4]

Adverse effects edit

Lecanemab may cause amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). ARIA is often asymptomatic, but serious and life-threatening events rarely may occur. ARIA most commonly presents as temporary swelling of the brain that usually resolves over time and may be accompanied by small spots of bleeding in or on the surface of the brain, though some people may have symptoms such as headache, confusion, dizziness, vision changes, nausea and seizure.[3][4] Compared to placebo, all doses of the drug caused accelerated brain shrinkage.[7]

Pharmacology edit

Mechanism of action edit

Main article: Biochemistry of Alzheimer's disease § Amyloid hypothesis

Lecanemab is a monoclonal antibody consisting of the humanized version[8] of a mouse antibody, mAb158, that recognizes protofibrils and prevents amyloid beta deposition in animal models of Alzheimer's disease.[9]

Efficacy Study edit

In a phase 3 clinical trial of 1,795 patients aged 50 to 90 years old with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, lecanemab slowed clinical decline by 27% after 18 months of treatment compared with those who received a placebo.[10][11] The mean CDR-SOB score at baseline was approximately 3.2 among the study population, and the mean change from baseline after 18 months was +1.21 with lecanemab and +1.66 with placebo. (For the comparison, CDR-SOB score is 0 for the Normal level, 0.5–2.5 for Questionable impairment, 3.0–4.0 for Very mild dementia, 4.5–9.0 for Mild dementia, 9.5–15.5 for Moderate dementia, and 16.0–18.0 for Severe dementia.)[12] The authors concluded "Lecanemab reduced markers of amyloid in early Alzheimer’s disease and resulted in moderately less decline on measures of cognition and function than placebo at 18 months but was associated with adverse events."[11]

History edit

In July 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted an application for accelerated approval for lecanemab.[13]

In September 2022, Biogen announced[13][14] positive results from an ongoing phase III clinical trial.[15][16]

In November 2022, it was announced that the drug was a success in clinical trials, and exceeded its goal in reaching primary endpoints.[17]

The efficacy of lecanemab was evaluated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-finding study of 856 participants with Alzheimer's disease.[3] Treatment was initiated in participants whose disease was in the stage of mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia and who had confirmed presence of amyloid beta pathology.[3] Participants receiving the treatment showed significant dose- and time-dependent reduction of amyloid beta plaque: Those receiving the approved dose of lecanemab, 10 milligrams/kilogram every two weeks, had a statistically significant reduction in brain amyloid plaque from baseline to week 79 compared with those receiving a placebo, who had no reduction of amyloid beta plaque.[3] 

The FDA approved lecanemab in January 2023, via the accelerated approval pathway for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.[3] The FDA granted the application for lecanemab fast track, priority review, and breakthrough therapy designations.[3] The approval of Leqembi was granted to Eisai R&D Management Co., Ltd.[3] In July 2023, the FDA converted lecanemab to traditional approval.[4]

Efficacy of lecanemab was evaluated using the results of Study 301 (CLARITY AD), a phase III randomized, controlled clinical trial.[4] Study 301 was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study that enrolled 1,795 participants with Alzheimer's disease.[4] Treatment was initiated in participants with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia stage of disease and confirmed presence of amyloid beta pathology.[4] Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive placebo or lecanemab at a dose of 10 milligrams (mg)/kilograms (kg), once every two weeks.[4] Lecanemab demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction of decline from baseline to 18 months on the primary endpoint, the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes score, compared to placebo.[4] Statistically significant differences between treatment groups were also demonstrated on all secondary endpoints, which included the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale Cognitive Subscale 14, and the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living Scale for Mild Cognitive Impairment.[4]

Society and culture edit

Legal status edit

In January 2023, the FDA granted accelerated approval for lecanemab.[3][18] In July 2023, the FDA converted lecanemab to traditional approval.[4]

Reception edit

In October 2023, lecanemab was designated as a Do Not Use drug by Public Citizen's Health Research Group.[19] It had urged the FDA not to approve it, arguing that there were serious safety concerns and very small treatment benefits. [19]

Economics edit

See also: Aducanumab § Economics and cost

Lecanemab pricing is US$26,500 per year,[20] with a company-estimated "per-patient societal value" of US$37,600.[21] However, cost-effectiveness analysis by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) concluded that a broad range of $8,900 to $21,500 would be appropriate.[22] According to an estimate by the manufacturer, Eisai, about 85% of eligible early-Alzheimer's patients in the United States are covered by Medicare.[21]

After reviewing the clinical evidence and considering the treatments' other potential benefits, disadvantages, and contextual considerations noted above, the California Technology Assessment Forum unanimously concluded that lecanemab at its current pricing represents "low" long term value of money.[22] At lecanemab's current net price, approximately 5% of the 1.4 million US patients eligible for Alzheimer's disease treatment that targets beta-amyloid could be treated within five years without crossing the ICER potential budget impact threshold of $777 million per year.[22] As a result, ICER issued an access and affordability alert for lecanemab in the management of Alzheimer's disease. This alert indicates that the health care costs of the treatment might stress the health system in the short term, resulting in the displacement of other services and a rapid increase in insurance costs.[22]

Names edit

Lecanemab is the international nonproprietary name.[23]

Research edit

Lecanemab was jointly developed by the companies Eisai and Biogen and is in clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.[24]

It has shown statistically significant but minor effectiveness, with studies suggesting a modest decrease in cognitive decline in Alzheimer's participants compared with a control group given a placebo instead.[25]

According to a phase III clinical trial (n = 1795), lecanemab has been associated with both ARIA-E (cerebral edema) and ARIA-H (microhaemorrhages, or small haemorrhages, and hemosiderosis) sub-types.[11] Mild to moderate infusion-related reactions may also occur.[11]
