On August 29, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an injectable version of Eisai Co., Ltd. and Biogen Inc.'s Alzheimer's disease drug, Leqembi. This approval introduces a new, more convenient treatment option for patients with early Alzheimer's disease.
The injectable formulation allows for easier administration following an initial intravenous infusion, which can significantly improve the patient experience and reduce the logistical burden associated with regular hospital or infusion center visits. This development is expected to enhance patient adherence to long-term therapy.
This regulatory milestone for Leqembi is crucial for expanding access to the drug and potentially increasing its market uptake. By offering a more accessible administration method, Biogen and Eisai aim to simplify the treatment pathway for individuals living with early Alzheimer's disease.
