Abstract

Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative dementia disorder and is associated with several negative health outcomes. Current treatment consists of symptomatic treatment and supportive measures. However, advances have led to the development of antibodies towards beta-amyloid, which likely plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology. Lecanemab and donanemab have shown efficacy in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease but are also associated with a risk of cerebral haemorrhages and oedema. The introduction of these antibodies will require adjustment of diagnostic and management pathways as discussed in this review.
