Late-Stage Alzheimer's Pipeline Goes Beyond Amyloid and Tau

Eisai and Biogen's Leqembi and Eli Lilly's Kisunla are first anti-amyloid antibodies to slow Alzheimer's cognitive decline. 32 therapeutics in Phase III trials target neuroprotection, neurotransmitters, neurogenesis, inflammation, and proteinopathies.
