Leqembi Launched in China to Fight Alzheimer’s

China is the third country to launch LEQEMBI for sale, to fight Alzheimer's, following the United States and Japan.
Leqembi (Lecanemab)

The launch of LEQEMBI in China marks an important milestone in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. 

With a high prevalence of the disease in the country, this innovative treatment option brings hope to millions of patients and their families who have been desperately seeking effective therapies1.

LEQEMBI, also known as Lecanemab, is a humanized anti-soluble aggregated amyloid-beta (Aβ) monoclonal antibody. It selectively binds to both soluble Aβ aggregates (protofibrils) and insoluble Aβ aggregates (fibrils), reducing Aβ plaques in the brain. 

Notably, LEQEMBI is the world’s first approved treatment shown to slow cognitive and functional decline in Alzheimer’s patients through this mechanism2.

Its launch in China provides a crucial opportunity for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment, supporting those affected to “live their fullest lives.

Caring for dementias such as Alzheimer's among family and friends, Peter committed to help preserve the dignity of people affected by Alzheimer's. AlzheimersWeekly.com is the fruit of that commitment.

This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.

It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.

The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.
