Aducanumab, Amyloid Lowering, and Slowing of Alzheimer Disease

Abstract

Aducanumab (Aduhelm) was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD). The approval of aducanumab is controversial. We address why we support this decision and welcome the availability of aducanumab as an important therapy for patients with early AD.
