Anti-amyloid antibody Medicines Treatment Benefit
why

An initial negative opinion was reversed on re-examination, with use restricted to APOE4 heterozygotes and non-carriers. The EPAR describes ARIA as affecting more than 1 in 10 people without giving a percentage.

CHMP refused the drug, then on re-examination recommended it only for people with one or no APOE4 copy, where the ARIA rates are lower. Benefit on cognition and harm from ARIA in the same document, with the restriction as the regulator's way of balancing them.

CDR-SB at 18 months and ARIA rates, in the APOE4-restricted group regulatory decision 1,521 "After 18 months of treatment, patients treated with Leqembi had a smaller increase in CDR-SB score than those who received placebo (1.22 versus 1.75)"; "8.9% of those with only one or no copy of ApoE4 experienced ARIA-E, compared with 12.6% of all patients ... 12.9% of patients in the restricted population experienced ARIA-H compared with 16.9% of the broader population"; placebo figures 1.3% and 6.8% European Medicines Agency 2024

Approved on amyloid reduction (surrogate) while reporting higher ARIA rates than placebo; the notice reports no cognitive outcome.

Benefit is on the surrogate marker only: the approval rested on amyloid reduction, not on confirmed clinical benefit, and the confirmatory trial was later terminated.

A regulatory enforcement action, not a study. The SEC's order finds the reported Phase 2 biomarker data were manipulated by an unblinded consultant and its complaint alleges the full patient data "showed no measurable cognitive improvement in the patients' episodic memory"; it estimates no effect.
