(Reuters) â Two members of a panel of outside advisors to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have resigned in protest at the agencyâs decision to approve Biogen Incâs Aduhelm for treatment of Alzheimerâs disease despite the committeeâs recommendation against doing so.
Mayo Clinic neurologist Dr. David Knopman, a panel member who had been recused from the advisorsâ November meeting to review the drug because he was an investigator in clinical trials of Biogenâs drug, said he resigned on Wednesday.
âI was very disappointed at how the advisory committee input was treated by the FDA,â Dr. Knopman told Reuters. âI donât wish to be put in a position like this again.â
