On July 2, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new drug for treating Alzheimer’s disease. Donanemab, or Kisunla, is the third drug approved to target one of the causes of Alzheimer’s: the buildup of amyloid protein in the brain. Based on the data provided by the drug’s manufacturer, Eli Lilly, for the FDA to review, it’s the most effective drug yet in slowing cognitive decline associated with the disease. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Studies reviewed by the FDA showed that the drug slowed progression to the next more-advanced stage of the disease by 39%, which translates to anywhere from four to seven months longer during which people can be more independent and function without extensive support from caregivers.
