The FDA has approved Eli Lilly's Kisunla (donanemab) for early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease, making it the second anti-beta-amyloid monoclonal antibody approved in recent years. Kisunla shows significant efficacy in reducing amyloid plaques and slowing disease progression. Despite its higher cost compared to Biogen's Leqembi, Kisunla offers the potential for lower long-term costs due to the option of stopping treatment early. Analysts see this approval as a positive development for the Alzheimer's treatment market.
