IU administering, leading clinical research on FDA-approved Alzheimer’s drug

For nearly a decade, lecanemab has been tested in clinical trials at IU School of Medicine. The drug targets the removal of amyloid plaques in the brain—a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Over the past few months, nearly a dozen patients have received the treatment, which is administered through intravenous infusions every two weeks at the IU Health Neuroscience Center in downtown Indianapolis.
