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. Leqembi and Kisunla have limited efficacy and notable side effects, prompting diverse opinions on clinical benefit. Next-gen therapeutics aim for easier administration and multiple pathways to treat Alzheimer's.
