Donanemab, a new drug developed by Eli Lilly for the treatment of early forms of Alzheimer's disease, has received a favorable opinion from the EMA committee, recommending its authorization. The drug, which is intended for patients who are non-carriers or heterozygous for apolipoprotein E ε4, has been shown in clinical trials to slow the progression of cognitive impairment. The drug will be available as an infusible solution, and common side effects include amyloid-associated imaging abnormalities and headache. The final authorization decision rests with the European Commission.
