Biogen announced it will discontinue marketing the Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm. This ends the tortuous saga of a once-promising treatment for the memory-robbing disease.

A controversial Alzheimer's drug that was trumpeted as the first to ever treat the cognitive decline associated with the devastating brain disorder has been pulled from the market, its maker Biogen announced Wednesday.
