In this original What the Dementia episode, we discuss the recently fully approved drug Leqembi (also known as Lecanemab) by the FDA for the treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Mild Alzheimer's disease.

This episode will cover:
— What Leqembi is and its target audience
— The drug's unique approach to targeting beta-amyloid
— Efficacy claims and study challenges
— Side effects and risks associated with Leqembi
— Cost and potential impact on Medicare
