Leqembi
About Lecanemab
Lecanemab is a prescribed medicine to treat Alzheimer’s disease. Treatment with Leqembi should be started in individuals with moderate cognitive impairment or mild dementia, the population treated in clinical studies. There are no data on the safety or efficacy of starting therapy at earlier or later stages of the disease than was evaluated. This indication was granted expedited approval based on decreased amyloid beta plaques in Leqembi-treated individuals. Continued approval for this indication may be predicated on clinical benefit being demonstrated in a confirmatory study.
Strength
Injection: 500 mg/5 mL solution; 200 mg/2 mL solution.
Recommended Dosage:
The recommended dosage is 10 mg/kg, which must be diluted before being provided as an intravenous infusion over one hour once every two weeks.
Important: If patients experience any adverse reactions from the Lecanemab treatment, they must consult their treating doctor.
Warnings & Precautions
- During the first 14 weeks of Leqembi medication, increased clinical monitoring of ARIA (Amyloid Related Imaging Abnormalities) is advised. Apolipoprotein E 4 homozygotes had a higher risk of ARIA, including symptomatic ARIA, than heterozygotes or noncarriers. A clinical assessment, including MRI scanning, should be done if a patient exhibits symptoms indicative of ARIA.
- The infusion rate may be lowered or withdrawn, and appropriate treatment may be delivered as clinically required (Infusion-Related Reactions). Before subsequent dosage, consider pre-medication with antihistamines, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, or corticosteroids.
