New Review Casts Doubt On Alzheimers Drugs But Is Controversial
A new Cochrane review of 17 trials involving more than 20,000 Alzheimer’s patients concludes that amyloid‑targeting monoclonal antibodies deliver only trivial cognitive benefits and carry safety risks. The analysis groups together all anti‑amyloid antibodies—including older failures—thereby diluting the modest gains seen with the recently approved lecanemab and donanemab. Media outlets have seized on the report, citing a BBC headline that a "£90,000 (≈ $115,000)" drug is unlikely to help patients. Researchers and clinicians argue the review’s methodology misrepresents the evidence and could influence reimbursement decisions.
