Dr. Chertkow will present on the article Lecanemab in Early Alzheimer’s Disease (C.H. van Dyck, et al). You can review this open access article here.

By the end of the session participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the evidence from this study for lecanemab in Alzheimer’s Disease
  2. List facilitators and barriers to using lecanmab in the clinical setting
  3. List side effects of lecanemab

Is there hope in the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease? Lecanemab has been approved by the FDA in the United States of America, and other countries may follow. In this iteration of the IPA Journal Club, we will look carefully at the 2023 New England Journal of Medicine study and have a robust discussion.
