The US Food and Drug Administration recently made a significant stride in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by approving donanemab, a monoclonal antibody developed by Eli Lilly. Marketed under the name Kisunla, this innovative treatment aims to slow the progression of early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease by helping the body remove amyloid plaque buildup in the brain—a hallmark of Alzheimer’s. This approval not only marks a pivotal moment in Alzheimer’s research but also highlights the importance of early detection and intervention.

Kisunla: A New Chapter in Alzheimer's Treatment
Donanemab, or Kisunla, isn’t a cure for Alzheimer’s but has shown promising results in clinical trials. Participants who took Kisunla experienced a 35% lower risk of disease progression over 18 months compared to those on a placebo. This means that patients can live more independently and safely engage in everyday activities for longer periods.
However, it’s important to note that the treatment isn’t without risks. Approximately 2% of participants experienced serious adverse events, including amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), which can lead to micro-hemorrhages in the brain. Despite these risks, the FDA advisors deemed the treatment safe and effective, given its potential benefits.
The Importance of Early Detection
Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for the effective treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Kisunla works best in the early symptomatic stages, prompting Eli Lilly to collaborate with other organizations to enhance early detection methods. This initiative aligns with the growing need for early intervention, especially as the number of Alzheimer’s cases is projected to reach nearly 14 million by 2060.
The Role of Home Care in Alzheimer’s Management
As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, the role of caregivers becomes increasingly vital. Home watchers caregivers, who provide continuous care and support, play a crucial part in ensuring the safety and well-being of Alzheimer’s patients.
