Key Discussion Points:

1. Overview of Current Landscape

- Three FDA-approved second-generation antibodies: Aducanumab, Lecanemab, Donanemab

- Lecanemab recently received traditional FDA approval

- Represents validation of amyloid cascade hypothesis

2. Individual Antibody Profiles:

Aducanumab

- Derived from memory B cells of both healthy and cognitively impaired individuals

- Targets amyloid beta plaques (amino acids 3-7)

- Shows dose-dependent reduction in amyloid beta

- Notable occurrence of ARIA side effects

Lecanemab

- Derived from mouse antibody MA158

- Targets amyloid beta protofibr ...
