Major US health systems expect to offer Alzheimer's drug Leqembi in a few months
Five major U.S. health systems said they would offer Eisai and Biogen's promising new Alzheimer's drug Leqembi after working out payment and administrative policies, and how to assess and monitor patients, most likely in the next month or two. Leqembi, which won full U.S. regulatory approval last month, is the first treatment proven to slow progression of the mind-robbing disease for people in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's. The disease affects an estimated 6.5 million people, most of whom are part of the U.S. government’s Medicare plan for people 65 and older.
