While KOLs say BioArctic/Biogen/Eisai's Leqembi is set to dominate AD therapy, what are the dosing, cost and reimbursement challenges that could impact takeup? Eli Lilly's next-generation late-stage anti-amyloid therapy donanemab is eagerly anticipated, but what clinical advantages and challenges do experts identify, and how might it impact Leqembi? KOLs critically assess the prospects of launched and pipeline therapies.
In addition to the full report, licensed users can access the following KOL Bulletins via the Attachments area.
Key questions answered:
- Biogen's Aduhelm was seen as a trailblazer in AD therapy but has failed to live up to expectations - how do KOLs assess the failure?
- How might Eli Lilly's remternetug offer better patient convenience and the possibility of home-based administration?
- How do KOLs assess the potential of Roche's innovative Brainshuttle approach for trontinemab?
- Tau remains an attractive target, so why are KOLs sceptical about the prospects for Annovis Bio's Posiphen and TauRx's LMTX?
- How do KOLs assess pipeline therapies which do not target amyloid and tau pathways, such as AlphaCognition's Alpha 1062, AriBio's AR 1001, Karuna Therapeutics' KarXT and BioVie's NE3107?
- Why is KOL opinion split on the prospects for Alzheon's niche pipeline therapy valiltramiprosate?
