Alzheimer’s Disease – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Alzheimer’s Disease (US)

Until recently, approved treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) primarily consisted of approved procognitive symptomatic drugs (e.g., donepezil, memantine), as well as off-label antidepressants and atypical antipsychotics, to address behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, the AD treatment landscape is shifting with the recent launches of DMTs, including Eisai / Biogen’s lecanemab (Leqembi) and Eli Lilly’s donanemab (Kisunla), for early AD. Additionally, Lundbeck / Otsuka’s Rexulti became the first drug to approved by the FDA for agitation in AD. Numerous potential DMTs (e.g., Eisai / Biogen’s subcutaneous lecanemab, Eli Lilly’s remternetug, Roche’s trontinemab, Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide) and emerging neuropsychiatric treatments (e.g., Axsome’s Auvelity, Karuna / BMS’s Cobenfy) are in the pipeline. Established and emerging players must understand today’s treatment landscape and patient journey to optimize future uptake and competitive positioning.
