Eli Lilly's Donanemab Approval Heats Up Alzheimer's Disease Treatment Market | DelveInsight
As per DelveInsight analysis, in 2023, the total diagnosed prevalent cases of Alzheimer's disease in the 7MM were . These cases are projected to increase further during the forecast period (2024–2034).
In 2023, the United States had the highest proportion of diagnosed prevalent cases of Alzheimer's disease among the 7MM, comprising approximately of the total cases. Conversely, the United Kingdom had the lowest share, representing nearly of the total diagnosed prevalent cases of Alzheimer's in 2023.
As the size and proportion of the US population aged 65 and older continue to increase, the number of Americans with Alzheimer's or other dementias will grow.
While there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease at present, starting treatment early and maintaining it consistently is crucial for alleviating clinical symptoms. Early diagnosis is vital for applying symptomatic therapies, addressing behavioral issues, and implementing lifestyle changes that can reduce the risk of dementia and potentially slow disease progression.
Most current dementia treatments focus on increasing the levels of specific brain neurotransmitters like acetylcholine, serotonin, and noradrenaline, or decreasing the activity of others, such as glutamate and dopamine. Because of potential side effects, it's crucial to tailor dementia treatment to individual patients, taking into account their other health conditions and therapies. The impact on heart function, drug elimination, and other interactions should be evaluated individually. Medications like and the memantine have been available in the US for over ten years for symptomatic relief.
Approval of novel anti-amyloid biologics, which are 'disease-modifying,' with novel targeted mechanisms of action, has led to significant improvements from the traditional symptomatic treatment regime. With an improved pathological understanding of Alzheimer's and the discovery of new therapeutic targets, novel monoclonal antibodies have been approved in the last couple of years. In June 2021 , received accelerated approval, and in July 2023 received the full US FDA approval.

was granted accelerated approval by the FDA for treating early Alzheimer's disease, including mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's. It is the first treatment to target amyloid β plaques and address Alzheimer's pathology. However, the drug is not widely available since it hasn't received traditional approval in the US and was rejected in Europe and Japan , tempering expectations for its success.
, another drug by Biogen and Eisai, received accelerated approval from the US FDA in January 2023 . By July 2023 , this approval was upgraded to a traditional one following a confirmatory trial that demonstrated a 27% slowing in decline, confirming the drug's clinical benefits. This achievement is a significant milestone, addressing the unmet needs of patients with early Alzheimer's and paving the way for future biologics and drugs targeting the disease's underlying pathology. This approval is advantageous for Biogen and Eisai, ensuring their profitability, and first-mover market advantage, and helping them recover from the ADUHELM setback.
Moreover, after declining Eli Lilly's Alzheimer's drug donanemab for accelerated approval last year, the agency has now granted the anti-amyloid therapy full approval. This makes it a competitor to Eisai and Biogen's LEQEMBI.
The FDA has approved donanemab-abzt, branded as , for treating adults with early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease, which includes individuals with mild cognitive impairment and those in the early stages of dementia.
KISUNLA, administered monthly, stands as the pioneering treatment directed at amyloid plaques, backed by evidence allowing for cessation upon plaque removal. This approach aims to reduce treatment expenses and minimize infusion frequency.

is an orally administered small molecule that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and insulin sensitizer by binding to extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), selectively inhibiting inflammation. NE3107 blocks the activation of ERK/NFkB and the production of TNF triggered by inflammatory stimuli like lipopolysaccharide. BioVie is developing NE3107 for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, multiple myeloma, and prostate cancer. Despite Phase III results not meeting the primary efficacy endpoint due to exclusions, the trial's adaptive design allows continued patient enrollment to achieve statistical significance for regulatory approval. Based on promising efficacy signals from the trial, BioVie plans to collaborate with the US FDA to achieve this goal, aiming for a global launch by 2026.
is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor designed to target activated cells of the neuro-immune system, specifically mast cells and microglia, which can accumulate within the central nervous system (CNS) at effective therapeutic levels. Research increasingly links mast cells and microglia to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease. Evidence suggests that Masitinib may offer therapeutic benefits in treating patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease, as demonstrated in a Phase II study. AB Science is currently conducting a Phase III trial to further confirm these findings.
is a small-molecule drug candidate designed to bind and reverse an altered form of the scaffolding protein filamin A (FLNA), which plays a crucial role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients. Administered orally, simufilam enhances the function of multiple brain receptors and exhibits potent anti-neuroinflammatory effects. Cassava Sciences is currently conducting Phase III clinical trials to evaluate simufilam tablets for Alzheimer's disease, with enrollment completed for both studies. The company expects to release top-line data by the end of 2024 for the first study and by mid-2025 for the second study.
